Latest goodies

 When you work with minis it almost seems your eyeballs become smaller. Or maybe it is your brain. At any rate when my eyes saw this my mind said...O-O-O-O look at the bookshelf/wall unit! It is actually a printer's draw. No, not the kind you plug in,but the person who used to print newspapers and things with a machine. One end has an easily removable handle and is just the right size for a mini scene. I put some of my magazines in it to show the scale. It is also compared with a standard commercial dollhouse bookshelf I bought on eBay.

I love the various size shelves

There is one screw on either side of the handle. I am sure I will find a use for that too lol

The smaller one does not cover a whole wall. The larger one can be a whole wall lol

Speaking of magazines...here is another one I made

Interior two pages of same magazine

These folks are just hanging out and deciding on what kind of room this will be.

I thought this would be a cute store front once the back is taken off...and used for something else of course.  This is to show the size compared to the  other box.

As  you can see the racks are the length of the walls in the larger box.  A store maybe? The little red house is somewhere between a large dog house and a child's playhouse. 

 Some of the cashiers at the thrift shop I bought these in just can't figure out what I am doing with all of this stuff. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for the things I buy. One day I will explain. LOL

Read All About It!

Hi everyone. Just wanted to let  you know I am thinking of you. My computer has been compromised with a virus and acting really out of whack!

 We are working on getting it cleaned up and getting some treats ready for you in the meantime for when I come back, which will be very soon!

Here is a peek at some of what  I am working on. I thought I would make some books and magazines. The magazines have a cover, back and two inside pages.  They are very time consuming, but I am happy with them. I have made many titles and a large assortment and they will also be available in my Etsy store in 1:6 and 1:12 sizes.

SEE YA SOON!

Here are a few of the covers!

Floored

Everytime I would pass this particular house I liked looking at the hardwood floors. I would think,"they just need a little luster.  One day out came the polyurethane and brush in hand I painted one room on the first floor.  Most of the time I hear from hobbyists, "sand between several coats!" The first floor was sanded between each of the three layers.
I just used three coats of polyurethane without sanding on the remainder of the house and there is not a visible difference. The window frames and stairs got a few swishes also.
Check out the shine!

I hope you can see the shine

If you look closely you can see how the floor reflects on the ceiling in the attic

Compare the shine to the picture below



Before-Only the floor on the lower left had a coat of polyurethane
