Happy Friday 13

A warm welcome to new followers

Anne of   Little Things .   In today’s post you can see a wonderful home/castle filled with miniatures that she has collected and made.   Go by and see the lovely quilt that she has made for her cute little bear Caramel. Take some time to look at her older posts to see many great minis including her beautiful baby boy/girl room boxes,  (you can buy them  here )  and follow the activities of Caramel and friends.
Look  here   to see the great gifts that she received and sent for the Christmas in July Swap.


Mini Dork of   Modern Mini Houses  (formerly known as Dream Dollhouses )  recently posted pictures of a scene that she created for a Magazine Challenge, go visit to see the details; the interesting scene that she chose to recreate and her amazing results. If you look at her older posts you will find many great minis, wonderful ideas and lots of links to more fun sites.   If I started listing posts that I like I would have a very long list of links, so I’ll just say that you should go have a look for yourself and enjoy.

Elsa,  if you have a blog please let me know so that I can come by for a visit.


Thank you for visiting, Mary

Christmas in July Swap

First I want to thank   Jazzi   for organizing this fun swap,  you can find pictures and links on her blog.

Here are the pictures that I promised

Look at all the wonderful gifts from   Cyd ,  they made Jaynie very happy.

2  great chairs
4 pretty pillows
lovely wall art  (I may try to add tiny hands to
      it if I can fit it in Jaynie's kitchen as a clock)
a interesting rock sculpture
a very nice bowl with feet
a great sheet of printed felt, makes a great floor cover or could be cut to use as artwork

Here's a closer look

 And I almost forgot this great light.

Thank you very much Cyd.   I love eveything, Jaynie's Loft will be much more interesting with these lovely gifts.

 And she even wrapped them all with a very generous amount of pretty printed tissue paper.













And here are the little things that I put together for Cyd.

Cyd posted pictures of some furniture that she had painted in her favorite colors,  (see them here) , so I used those colors as a guide for these gifts.

I made her a set of pillar candles and a rug from upholstery fabric

I put together a scrapbook and a package of     scrapbook paper

I sent some porcelain beads, mainly vase shaped and a cat.

Some closer views.

At the last minute I threw in a few more small items,  a few beads, a blue pen,    I didn't take pictures of them.

BTW  Cyd already used the rug and scrapbook in a bedroom scene at  My Mini Mod Pod      

Here are some links to others that participated in the swap
