Future Projects List *Updated*

Hey everyone!

As part of the makeover for Anything Miniature, I decided that I would do an updated Future Project list. You can find my original post about my future projects here. The Future Projects list post was originally inspired by Wanda of So Mini Projects. She still has her dream project's list on the left hand side of her blog, and I have to say, reading her ideas again definately helped to expland my own list once again!! Oh dear!

A lot of my original Future Projects still stand as projects I would love to do, but as my passion for my hobby has escalated, my visions and imagination has grown stronger and my wealth of inspiration is bursting at the seams, it's difficult to keep a head full of ideas calm and content, when all you want to do is get stuck in.

Well, here's to my first step! I am trying to complete Bruion and The Bakers Dozen so that I can move on to another project. My aim now, once I have completed these two, will be to start and finish one project at a time... but realistically, how many people say that and then end up contradicting themselves?

Well either way, here goes: The projects highlighted in purple are projects I am working on, or have completed.

  • A Bakery
  • A Country Pub
  • A Stable and Horse Scene
  • A Grand House - complete with maids and butler.
  • A Lighthouse
  • A Windmill
  • A Florists
  • A Fantasy Dwelling (Bruion)
  • A Scene from the film Dirty Dancing
  • Old Generals Farm (the house that I live in)
  • A B&B
  • A Modern Family Home (made from the DHE kit, Mountfield.)
  • A Woman's Dress Shop
  • A Haberdashery
  • A Country Tea Rooms
  • A Post Office Roombox
  • A Children's Toy Shop
  • Grandma's House
  • A Winter Scene (yet to be decided upon)
So there we have it. The list has most certainly grown and it's probably safe to say that I may not ever be able to do every single one of these, and they may most definately swap and change as new inspiration comes to me. All a good excuse for you to keep checking back!

I hope you've enjoyed reading this post and you are enjoying the Anything Miniature Makeover so far!

Bye for now!

Anything Miniature Needs A Make-Over!

Hello everyone,

I've been reading back on the old posts of Anything Miniature this morning. I'm so glad that I started this blog. Looking back on everything I posted about makes me realise I have come a long, long way. Looking at my very first bread attempt out of polymer clay, my very first dolls houses, my very first Giveaway win and my Future Projects List inspired by Wanda.

It's been a heck of a journey, and one that I aim to continue for many, many more years to come. My dolls houses are my passion, and sadly I don't always get the time to spend on them that I want. That's when I come to my blog, and your blogs to look around and keep my creative mind working. I love each and every one of your blogs that I follow, and I'm always keenly looking at what you're all up to, even though I don't always comment.

I started a new blog this New Year, one that I'm keeping on top of quite well I think. It's not exactly dolls house related, it more like a sort of journal. It talks about me, my life, what's going on in my mind, what I've been up to, and blogs/people that inspire me. If this interests you, check it out. I Pinky Promise... This blog got a few full days work on it, and although it still isn't finished, I like the layout and simplicity. I decided that Anything Miniature needs a make over so that it's neater, calmer and easier to get around.

So over the next week or so, if everything looks a little higglety pigglety, don't worry, I'm on it!

Now, I best start looking for those notes on HTML...

Cya!

Pretzels!

Hi everyone!

I've recently made a little set of delicious pretzels that can be displayed in your miniature kitchen or bakery!

There are 3 tiny pretzels glued into place on the paper doily which is glued into the real glass cake stand. The cake stand includes a lid which is removeable.
There are also 3 loose pretzels for you to display as you wish and a little metal pincer.
The paper bag is also included.

I've added this pretzel set to my Etsy shop: Diddies


Hope you like them!
Back soon with some more miniature progress!

Bakery Progress!!

Hey everyone!!

I've had yet another constructive day with mini-ing (find out why I have so much motivation here) I've been working very hard on The Bakers Dozen, and have spent many hours decorating, tiling, bricking and adding lighting! I'll be the next best Handy Woman in Lincolnshire by the end of the week!

Here's some piccies:



 
I ran out of tiles!!! :o :(

I do apologise that the first two are the wrong way around.

So there's my work complete for the day. Tomorrow I make is my mission to find my dad's mitre block and cut the skirting. If I cannot find it.. well, I'm sure there's something else I can do!


See you soon!
