Tool Holder

I made my own tool holder for my pliers from my old Prismacolor marker stand. I've got more pens than will fit in the stand any way. I saw a tool holder in the MicroMark catalog that works the same way for $20. I love reusing stuff I've already got.


The little red trays you see behind the tool holder are from the local eye doctors office. They are great for holding current projects.

Two late introductions

I became an AUNT December 5, 2011. He was 23 days late and weighed 9 lbs 10 oz.
I'm so excited but I haven't had the chance to meet him yet. My brother and his fiance' live in Oregon.

Isn't he adorable?

We also welcomed another furbaby into our home on the same day my nephew was born.
This is Deuce.

Somebody left him in the parking lot of the store where a friend works.

Christmas Minis

I made a bunch of miniature holly for wreaths.

I created a couple different style miniature ornaments for gifts this year.

I found a bunch of these 6 panel door kits at Ernie's Attic back in October. I knew I wanted to incorporate them into christmas gifts but I wasn't sure exactly how until about a week before Christmas.
I made the door knobs out of plain flat top bead caps and some antique rhinstones from my grandmother.
I wrapped a lot of minature gifts for these Christmas balls


This isn't mini but I had to share a photo. This is my brother's house.

He was featured on the MSN homepage on Christmas as one of the top light displays to visit.

Meet the newest members of our household

I thought I would introduce the two newest furry members of our household. When my boyfriend moved in he brought his dog Scarlet.

My cats were scared to death of her at first.
She has made herself right at home


Then we were adopted by this sweet little kitten from across the street.
Her name is Storm Shadow because she is a ninja.


My other cats weren't too fond of her in the begining but now they are one big happy family.

Yard Sale Find

I haven't been yard sale shopping lately just haven't felt the urge but last weekend I decided to stop at one sale down the road from me this is all I bought



I didn't need a microwave cart but for $10 I could really use a rolling storage cart for all my miniature landscaping supplies. I'm still working on getting it organized but here is what it looks like full of stuff..



Sam had to check it out too.

Latest Miniatures

I've been slacking on blogging lately. I'm such a bad blogger.
At least I have been working on miniatures lately..

I used a bunch of soft wire and brown floral tape to create this tiny tree.

(sorry it's a bad photo I took this with my phone camera)

Another Update

A lot has happened since my last post...
I got dumped by my creative muse back in May so my polymer clay dragon is still unfinished. :(

I took my first trip by train to Vermont to visit a friend.

Went on a few bad online dates including one where I twisted my ankle.

And then I found the man of my dreams on Facebook.. I've actually known him since middle school just hadn't seen him in years. He is such a sweetheart and is so good to me. He really makes me happy.


I can't ever seem to find time to update my blog anymore. I do still try and look at everyone elses blogs on a daily basis if I can.
I've been working on miniatures a little bit lately in my free time. One of these days I'll actually finish a project that I can be proud of.
I miss having things to blog about. I can't promise that I'll actually keep up my blogging but I am going to try to at least post pictures on a regular basis.
