Show and Tell Monday

I caught a flu bug recently, and was down ill for a few days...I am still recovering, so I haven't had much Miniatures updates lately.

So for today, I decided to do something different. Besides making miniatures, I also love cross stitching. I started cross stitching since I was 10 years old. Recently, I have worked on my work in progress very regularly again.

This is a piece by Sandy Littlejohns. It is named "Victorian Christmas Eve". This chart is actually a 3 part horizontal chart. I have just completed 1 out of the 3 part series, and am now working on Part 2. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I may attempt to do another marvelous chart of hers after I complete this.

Here it goes again! Another week has passed by. I really enjoy the Show and Tell Monday organized by the ladies of MakeMinePink. It is a chance for us to showcase our work in progress, or any great antique buys, anything. This week had been fruitful for me. I finally managed to finish a few furnitures in 1:12 dollhouse miniature scale that I have been building for a while, by adding finishing touches to them. I like the new look on them myself, because it brings out a soft romantic look..



Next, I also experimented making some other food items, as well as decorating a normal white porcelain plate with a strawberry decal. This was a tea cup saucer, but it fits the small food items perfectly. I took a photo of the plate on my finger, so you have a perspective of the size of it. All are in 1:12 dollhouse miniature scale.

This is a "Shabby Chic Bench" work in progress...I planned to make another miniature set.

I might have to shelf this piece for a while, as I just received an order.
