Happy Thanks Giving

 

 

MJ and Jaynie are spending a quiet evening reading

After a nice turkey dinner

No one felt like doing much




 Not even Daisy

MJ snuggled up under a warm blanket




We hope MJ enjoyed staying in the Lekman box, it is purple


And we added a few more touches of purple

We added a bathroom behind a screen/shower

The coffee table is a bangle bracelet from Fire Mountain Gems topped with a mirror

I painted the edge of the mirror with black nail polish









I hope every one had a wonderful day

A few little accessories

 I've put together a few accessories for Jaynie.

This basket was easy to make following the tutorial   from   The little blue room .

I just put this together quickly to see if the shape was really as easy to get as it showed, it was. 

The tutorial was not made as a mini item so a few adjustments had to be made, but that was not difficult.  I used a 3 x 3" piece of  card stock.   The basket (not counting the handles) came out  to about 1 3/4" long, just under 1" high and 1" wide.   This size would be good for a floor basket filled with knitting supplies or magazines.

Next time I'll try it a bit smaller and add a bit more details, like the shading and handles in the tutorial.

This is my quick version of  a modern planter, it doesn't show well in this picture, it look better in real, really.

See the   tutorial  from Mini Dork at   Modern Mini Houses .

I used a small plastic bead tube and some dried grass from Dollar tree.  I sorted some of the smaller stones out of a package of chips but they are a bit too big.  I need to find some finer rocks so that more branches can fit in. 

While I had the stones out, I picked out a few to use with a candle (a birthday cake candle).

Jaynie is happy with her new items.

Did you notice the carpet, that's new too, upholstery fabric from Joanne Fabrics. 
What do you think?

Oops, I forgot to put the basket in the scene.

Jaynie was very happy when I came home with this giant bouquet of white carnations (imitation baby's breath in 1/1).  We have enough carnations to last a life time plus some to share.











Here is a close up of the little bunches of 3.


Would you like to win a dozen carnations, sign up for  My Give-Away .


 If you are already signed up leave a comment here if you would like these as part of your prize if you win.

Here is one of the carnations in a bud vase (stone bead)

Let me know if you would like this vase, I also have some that are a bit greener and some more yellow.

And a couple more stone bead vases.

I reamed out the orange-y one, now it looks more like a vase and holds more flowers.

The grey one is not reamed, I started it but its a lot harder than the other one.

Would you like one of these?

Please let me know what you like.

The chair and pillows were a swap gift from Cyd of  Mini Mod Pod .

Who Lives Here?

I finally bought a  Lekman box   from Ikea a few weeks ago.

I've been trying to put together a Christmas scene but it was not going well.  I somehow misplaced a box that has most of my Christmas items.  Hopefully I'll locate it soon.

Today I recieved some scrapbook paper that I ordered, so I decided to put Christmas aside for a bit and set a different scene.

I wanted to show you this multi colored  LED Light  that I found in the floral department at Walmart.  It has a push button on the bottom to cycle through the setting:    green, blue, purple, pink/blue,  pink/green, blue/green,  pink/green/blue or it can cycle through all the colors.  This is the purple (they call it pink).

I placed it on a finding/stand.

Here its lit green.

The tables are acrylic displays  from Amazon.

The  sofa is a  jewelry display  from Fire Mountain Gem.  They also have it in white .

The vase is a porcelain bead, also from Fire Mountain Gem.

The doily is a piece of venetian lace.

 I made the pillow today.

It took about 3 minutes, if you would like to know how leave a comment and I will try to show how I did it.

I think that the scene could use a few more details,  something on the coffee table and maybe  a large potted plant on the left side but I could not find what I was looking for.

I need to keep trying to get more organized, this is what I have for now.

The artwork and the area rug came from this DCWV Rock Star mat stack that bought from
DCWV Deals .   

These are some of the other sheets that I think will make good area rugs.
