Making Mini Plants

I started making some mini plants for Mike's tropical garden. Time to get out the magnifier lamp!

Hope you have a great day!

Boat Dock

Mike has another request for his new house. He wants a dock for his sailboat.


Of course this will mean more work for me, but I like Mike's idea. :D

The boat is 1:12 scale. It was a gift from Ira at Merry Jingle Crafts. I found it in the kid's room of the beach house after I took this photo.



Hope you have a beautiful day!

A Fountain By The Pool

I started making a tiled fountain along the swimming pool this morning. I'm going to add "water" and plants later.

The decking I bought is the perfect scale for this house. I'm not sure how I'll finish that yet...

Hope you have a great day!

Waiting on the Deck

I installed the light in the pool. Now I'm waiting on the decking I ordered from Micro-Mark.



Then I'll do a some landscaping and my mini-modern house will be complete. :D

Teeny Tiny Palm Trees

I need six tiny palm trees to landscape my little modern house. Here's one of them in progress.

Teeny tiny = tedious, but fun!

Swimming Pool

Now that the house is finished, I'm working on the swimming pool. I decided to add a light in the pool so Mike and Minnie can go for a swim at night.

I LOVE swimming at night. It is so relaxing! This is just one inspiration photo I found here.


Looks so inviting, doesn't it? Wish I could go for a swim right now but I have to go to work.

Hope you enjoy your day!

Little Crooked House

I could see this coming. It's part of the reason I haven't finished Mike's little modern house. It's crooked. Mike doesn't seem to mind. But I do.


Even though I measure and square and measure again something always seems to get out of whack.



I get one side right and the glue pops on the other side! Do you think the chimney is too tall?

I'm thinking about buying some 1/16" wood decking from Micro-Mark for around the pool. I can also use it in the little Spanish house. Micro-Mark is having a HUGE sale until the end of August. I'll be getting a few more things that have been on my wish list too. :D

I stopped working on Grandma's sewing room when I couldn't figure out how to finish her sewing table. I'm sure you never quit something just because it isn't working out, do you?

It's always more fun to start something new than finish something that's difficult! Shopping sounds like fun right now too. Then I'll get back to Mike's house. It is almost finished!

Hope you are having a beautiful day!

Mike

Mike showed up at the job site this morning. He pleaded with me to finish his house before I start anything else.

So it's back to work here. We still have a lot to do!
