Hello mini friends,
It's been a long time (again) since my last
post. I think since I became a grandma
and consequently had to do a little bit (just a teeny tiny bit) of growing up
my life has been taken over with grandchildren and that coupled with caring for
adult children and my mum and well all the important people who are closest to
one's heart, doesn't leave much time for minis at the moment. Which is just as it should be of course because
as much as I love what I do, family always come as I'm sure you'll agree. Indeed
we have recently had a new addition to our family, my son (who you may remember
had a little girl born sleeping a few years ago) has just had another baby
girl, she is happy and healthy and she is almost three weeks old now. As you can imagine my son and daughter in law
are overjoyed and basically spend their days just looking at her, she is so
loved. Here's a little picture of her, she's
called Olivia Grace...
...isn't she just adorable. I doubt I'll get to look after her much
because her mummy and daddy can't put her down haha, but I'm happy either way,
she's loved and that's all that matters.
Well on the mini's front I have managed to
make some new things. I decided to
change my website a little so as to just sell mostly the things I make, some
craft items and a couple of other small bits and bobs, that done I am trying to
get all those ideas that have sat on a back burner for years and actually
create them. So here is my first sofa, I
did roughly make a chair some time back but I wanted to test this shape of sofa
because I intend to print my own fabrics and make some more but as always there
is a process of trial and error to go through before you end up with something
that makes you really happy.

My modern pushchairs and prams on the other
hand will be much simpler to construct and anyone should be able to make them
up. I've got most of the parts working
but making up the instructions that accompany them is what takes the time.
After the prams I want to make some bedroom
furniture then some working lights and slowly go down the list of mini makes
I've been waiting to create for ages. Hope
you like this month's mini makes, they are available in my shop now and with a
bit of luck I'll soon have some matching pushchairs or prams to go with them.
Big mini hugs,
