Mini House Wreath

Here is a project I made using mini houses -- 

Inspired by the Martha Stewart Dec/Jan 2014 Magazine cover.

I found the mini houses on clearance -- at JoAnn's Hobby & Craft.

You can read more about it here.

You can see my favorite projects of 2015 here -- 

a few of my projects {including this wreath} are mini inspired.

Looking forward to a quiet January and a little more free time to work on minis.

Pink Beachside Bungalow in the Fall

It was fun to decorate the bungalow for Autumn.

Lots of little pumpkins and leaves.

{Notice the little pumpkin pie cooling...}

Winter will be here before you know it!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

Truck in Sea Foam Green

Originally, I bought this darling little truck to be part of my

mini collection -- to use in an autumn scene.

{I thought sea foam green & orange pumpkins would look so fun together.}

On a whim, I filled her with some mini bottlebrush trees, and the rest is history!

This little truck is now a Christmas decoration --

and the inspiration behind my pink and sea foam green Christmas kitchen.

I've got my eyes open -- 

looking for sea foam green and pastel pink ornaments everywhere I go!

Beachside Bungalow/Cottage

A few years ago we were at a Dollhouse Festival and I bid on the Pink Cottage --

I honestly didn't think I would end up bringing her home, 

but I did.

She has sat around for a couple of years while ideas percolated and I gathered little treasures.

I started by making a few small signs {pictured above} and ordering a few items online.

I made my first attempt at a patio --

 

and a stone pathway.

{An amateur for sure, but I'm having so much fun.}

I thought it would also be fun to put in a few sentimental minis here and there.

{little stepping stones -- with special dates}

A little peek inside the 'nautical nursery'.

And another potting table photo -- just because I love it!

It looks like the porch swing could use a few cushions.

I need to finish the kitchen, the living room, and this little space as you come up 

the stairs -- I'll share the interior when I'm finished.

We'll be dipping our toes in the Pacific AND the Atlantic before the end of the year!

{I can't wait!}

I love the ocean, the beach, and this Little Pink Beach Bungalow!

Nautical Nursery Peek

Before I can begin working on the Winter Bleu Cottage, 

I need to finish the Little Pink Beach Cottage.

The cottage is only 3 rooms (and the stairway cubby),

so I'm limited on what I can actually do.

I decided on -- 

 a kitchen, 

a living room, 

and a combined nursery/bedroom.

I just finished the 'nautical nursery' and will be adding more photos soon.

The kitchen and living room are almost finished.

The majority of the work I have left to complete is outside the house -- patio, lawn, etc.

Back to the nursery: 

I painted the baby's dresser to match the room.

I made the cute 'twinkle twinkle' sign 

after a friend brought me mini sand dollars and a tiny starfish.

{I plan on using the sand dollars in the living room.}

The rug & books are an Etsy purchase -- I'll try to locate the seller's shoppe info.

The fun beach bag was from LittleThingsByAnna.

I love the mini goldfish bowl.

You can see how I made the bookends here.

The Pink Beach Cottage/Bungalow has been a fun project!

I should hurry and finish the exterior, so I can decorate it for Autumn/Halloween!

Winter Bleu Cottage

Here is my miniature project for the winter months -- Winter Bleu Cottage.

Good bones but a lot of work to be done on her {inside and outside}.

I'm hoping to have her completed by Christmas 2017 --

WHICH MEANS I MUST FINISH THE LITTLE PINK BEACH BUNGALOW SOON!

Outdoor miniatures

This little pink beach cottage has been neglected.

I'm  hoping to complete her this summer -- but my progress is oh so slow.

My 'One Tiny Little Thing' blog has also been so neglected.
I'm hoping to work more on her this summer as well.

Pictured above -- the latest miniature project we've completed --

2 fairy gardens and a backyard fairy door.

{Looking forward to more time for miniatures once the kiddos are out of school!}

You can see our 2014 fairy garden here.
