Back to Work

I've decided to get back to work on the kitchen. I still have a band-aid on my finger but it's healed enough to cut wood again. This time I am being more careful!


I added beadboard and a shelf to the side of the fridge cabinet. The wallpaper is installed inside the pantry. This morning I cut the shelves. I'll need to paint them next.

I also want to show you the cute things I got from Casey. She sent me some tiny people and five of her beautiful little kitchen towels! Thank you so much Casey. :D


Hope you have a good day. Thanks for following my mini projects - the good and the bad!

The Daisy Experiment

My first experiment with making daisies started with a 3/8 inch flower punch. I whipped these up in no time. (Two hours)

They didn't look like daisies to me. So I decided to take a different approach. I hand cut some petals and glued them one by one to the center. The outcome is a really strange looking "flower" that is too big to be a daisy.

This morning I remembered the "leftovers" that Casey sent to me a long time ago. She sent me lots of little flower parts. Some of them are daisy petals! :D

If you poke the photo you can see the lovely little quilled zinnias that Casey made.

I tried again to make a daisy using Casey's petals. I didn't use my magnifier lamp and wasn't wearing my contacts, just my reading glasses. When I finished my flower I realized that the petals were pink and not white! Well, most of them are pink. Somehow some white ones got in there too. LOL

I definitely need more practice! So, the daisy experiment will continue. Thanks Casey for sending me all the right parts. I hope I can make some proper daisies with them!?

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Gifts From Casey!

I received not one, but two gift packages from Casey! The first one is a mini traveling kit. It is a little divided box packed with everything I might need to make minis anywhere! :D

There is a pair of scissors, some glue, a ruler, X-ACTO blades, lace, ribbon, a wooden pot with a lid, a little barrel, some pretty fabric and stuffing. Then Casey added some surprises too! A beautiful shopping bag with the prettiest pair of blue sandals and a gorgeous purse in my favorite color!
Casey also sent me one of her little woven baskets! I love Casey's baskets! :D


If all of this wasn't enough, today I received more gifts! Another teeny tiny house! It is only 3 inches tall and 2 1/2 inches wide! Casey included some beautiful wallpaper in 1:144 scale so I can decorate this house myself. There are rugs too. The little plastic bag you see has windows and doors and even a toilet and tub! They are so small I couldn't even get a photo of them. SO cute!

I don't know where Casey found the little lemons and apples and oranges? Do you think she has been crawling around on the floor at WalMart too? LOL There are some little lavender flower stems too. I'm sure I'll use them in my tiny landscaping!

Thank you so much Casey! I really appreciate all of the thought you put into these gifts. You are so kind and so generous! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
