Back Online!

I'm still working on cleaning up my work room. The rain and storms we had over the weekend knocked out my power for two days and my internet connection for four days!

I haven't made any minis but I've found some things to help me organize. I love this lattice panel I found at Home Depot! It's the perfect size for the closet door. I think it has lots of possibilities. I'm going to use it to hang fabric. I'll show you that when I'm finished.


My trip to the Dollar Tree yesterday was very fruifull. I love these little shadow boxes! I didn't buy all they had, but almost! :D


I also stocked up on more things to help me get organized.


I am making some progress but there is still a lot to do. Hopefully, I'll be finished in a few days and can get back to mini making again!?

Hope you have a great day! I am SO glad to be back online again. :D

I still have more details to add but I wanted to show you the lattice! :D

I Like Lattice

I found some dollhouse miniature lattice panels for sale on line.Then I thought, after seeing the price, that maybe I could make some?

I tried cutting some balsa wood into thin strips but that didn't work. I decided to try some leftover painted card stock from my tile work. Much easier with my handy dandy paper cutter.

I taped the strips on my scrap book cutting mat. That made it simple to line them up at a 45 degree angle.

I put a little dab of glue on each strip with a tiny paint brush, then just laid the second ones across the top. Real lattice isn't woven although you could probably do that and get the same effect?

Here's how MY "lattice" looks with all of the strips in place.

You know what's next, waiting for glue to dry! We'll see how it holds up when I try to pick it up? If all goes well, I'll cut it to fit the doors on my bathroom hutch.

If you see "glass" in there later, you'll know this didn't work. LOL Here's another idea I found online at Playing With Paper.

Sweet dreams!
