Its a fantastic way to share minis and workshops, Don't you think?

New Kit project

I finished a kit from Shoestring minis
They have wonderful kits which have great instructions that are easy to follow. I am very pleased with the outcome.... Now to add some mini flowers , a lamp and a mirror on the wall....

Sunroom.....Miniature books

Added few more items to the sunroom...

Also added some pictures of the minibooks I have , I need to photograph more.....

Made my ivy plant today!

Made another step in my miniature 'to do' list and finished the variegated ivy in the weaved basket. I would like to add a coat or jacket on one of the pegs on the shelf and a handbag on another.....

Matching wall lights

Made the wall lights with the same fabric, these were candle wall lights from Dollhouse Emporium , I just added the shade and cord to them.

Handmade Lamp shade

Finished making my lamp. The lamp shade is made with fabric and trimmed with white thread that I made into a cord. The light was a plain dollhouse light that with a little DIY looks much brighter ; If you'll pardon the pun :) . The 'cup' at the top was made using white fimo. I am making two smaller ones for the back wall. All I need to find now, is a transormer for Europe that will light it.

New Manor Photos

I have added more pictures of the Manor house, mainly the sunroom next to the kitchen in the basement.
