A New Cupboard for the Modern Kitchen

It's a couple of years since Real Life allowed time

for creative thinking and putting ideas together,

so,

when I found myself with half a day free and

nothing desperately calling for attention,

I played!!

Bashing cupboard doors out,

fitting paper to the back,

finding pretty things

for the shelves.

Miniature time at its best.

I don't like the drawer/tray in the lower right opening

so it hasn't been painted.

Any suggestions what I can put there instead?

A Gift from Lidi

Look what I brought home from

The Great Miniaturist Get-together :)

A very detailed waste basket!!

Isn't it lovely?

How lucky I feel simply being able to see Lidi's baskets,

I drool over every one of  her designs,

but to own them is such pleasure!

It actually lives in my dollhouse but I couldn't get a decent

photo of it there, there isn't enough light in that room,

so the stable agreed to host the photo shoot.

I could easily just collect one of each of Lidi's designs

for the sheer pleasure of looking at them,

without including them in scenes.

I've had a Lovely Day!

I had the chance to meet a lovely blogger

and her equally lovely husband

and charming son

yesterday :)

We had known one another from miniature groups

and blogs for quite a long time so it was amazing to finally

meet face to face.

Sandie

does quarter scale to perfection and she brought

half a dozen of her tiny treasures to show me.

I've often said it's hard to pick the scale of Sandies work in photos

and seeing them up close in Real Life was certainly not disappointing!

It was a real treat to see such beautifully made little cottages

with the most gorgeous tiny furniture you could imagine.

Thanks Sandie.

Today we got together again and went to visit Lidi

and spent a couple of hours looking at her paperclay buildings.

I never tire of seeing Lidi's artwork.

The conversation was all miniatures!

Such a treat for me to meet another miniaturist.

My blog has been quiet for a while,

I've been busy making Midget a new dress but

I didn't want to show it until Sandie got to see the one I made for her.
