Cath Kidston in Mini --

I'm snowed-in today.

Found a minute to work on a mini project.

A little shelf for trinkets -- from the Target 'dollar spot' (1/2017).

Filled with Cath Kidston papers --
this might find a spot in the American Girl dollhouse.

Game Night

I'm thinking about the little game/playroom on the third floor of Winter Bleu.

So I decided to make a mini game...

Focused and distracted all in the same moment.

Ornaments, Cards, and Little Boxes

Little boxes of ornaments and cards --

I know it is the NEW YEAR --

and most people are putting Christmas away --

but I've been finishing up a few little Christmas minis I thought I'd share.

Sweet little boxes for gifts and goodies.

The above items are all 1:12 scale --

Below are a few slightly larger creations -- for Blythe.

I experimented with three different kinds of beads that we had in our stash --

glass {upper left}, pearl {lower left}, 

and little beads that looked almost like painted ormanets {lower right}.

The boxes {upper right} are filled with pre-made ornaments 

from the miniatures section at Hobby Lobby. 

The ornaments are very cute and realistic. 

I styled them a little differently in their boxes --

I think the pearl red and green ones are my favorite!

Project Update/Projection

Where I am with my mini projects:

Winter Bleu pictured above is my project for 2017!

I'm working on removing the balcony.

I'm ready to move forward on the interior -- the rooms are just big, and I'm not sure how

to divide the spaces.

I've told myself I have to finish all mini projects before I buy anything else to finish/make/build/decorate -- you get the idea.

I also have these kits to complete --

Cath Kidston store -- still working out the details on this one

Loft Kit -- something beach/nautical

Corner Store Kit -- bakery 

Glamour/Camper Kit - aqua and red like our real-life glamper named Magnolia.

Mini Christmas Clean-Up

{Photos from my very outdated cell phone camera.}

Last project for 2016.

Creating some mini vintage ornaments and boxes.

A few more things to tuck into the attic.

I used beads from our stash.

16 little boxes are in various stages of production.

{These fall somewhere between 1:12 and 1:6 scale -- hoping they'll work for both.}

Cheers to the New Year & hoping that I can find a few more minutes each day for miniatures.

Everyone Knows...

Even the fairies know tonight is the big night!

December Minis

Mini wreaths made with beads, glue, and tiny ribbons.

So easy. So fun.

A great project to use up all my extra beads from this project.

So they really are like life-size vintage ornament wreathes,

and I'm just using up my stash of mini vintage ornaments.
