Hello dear readers,

No, we haven't said goodbye yet to the renovation workers, in fact today, one of them worked inside our apartment today, fixing up the damages caused from the outside, such as making the sliding windows and shutters move smoothly just as they were before.  At least the lobby floor tiles  are nicely laid and I can go out wearing regular shoes.

I cannot work on a new project before the apartment is thoroughly cleaned with the help of my daughters and a cleaning lady who comes in once every 3 weeks for a few hours to help me with the house work.  I've promised myself to make at least one miniature a day.  Most of the items created are gifts for people I love.  I never sell, and am very glad I don't need to, because I know there is no price to cover the work one puts in creating a miniature.  It's enough that I know people are happy to receive them and a  pleasure to see them in one of my followers scene settings.  I'm always ready for swaps but not on busy times like Hanukkah and Christmas.

This is what kept me busy on my free time.


More seashell boxes. Some have already left.




They look better with a dark paint under.




Egg carton pots decorated with seashells.  A few still empty.







This one with very tiny flowers.






Flower vases made from a metal bead and metal bead cap, painted with nail varnish.








A warm welcome to my new followers.  I wish you all a warm, lovely weekend with my blessings.

  2. Oh my... so the worker's with the noise and dirt are still in charge?! *sigh* Stay strong... some time there will be an end to this! ;O) But you're tough to not quit completely on miniature making. Everybody receiving these treasures will be happy and know they received something coming from a dear friend.

    Hugs

    I love the gifts you've made and I bet they will be loved and appreciated by the recipients!
