More Mini Pitchers

Boy I'm obsessed with making these mini pitchers....here are a few more that I've made..I'm also making some in bright colors.

 I'm still thinking I like the pink!!  The one on the right is a Christmas one...these are also a little bit bigger that the last.

Mini Pitchers

I made some mini pitchers for my cottage today out of paper, glue, colored pencils and markers, then applied clear nail polish for the enamel look.

 

These I used colored pencils.

 This one I used markers. I have not put the (enamel) on this one.

Which one do you like best?

Mini Perfume Bottle Prints

My computer has been down for a couple of days...it just wouldn't come on...I turned it off for a day and a half..ran disk clean up and disk defragment... so far so good..I'm so thankful that it is working now, it's amazing how much you miss the internet.
I did not get to play with minis much this week end, busy with soccer, but I did make these perfume bottle prints.  I just need to trim them up a bit.

    Wishing everyone a great week! - Kim :)

Finished the Chair and Ottoman

I finished the chair and ottoman, now I have a set that is homemade.  I really liked making the furniture, even though it was a bit time consuming.  Every time I finish a piece I think ....I should have done this or that...., hopefully I'll remember what I wanted to change the next time I do a piece. 

Sorry the picture is a little blurry.

New Couch and New Look at My Fairytale Cottage

I changed my layout on blog and I made a new couch for my cottage.  I will be making a chair and ottoman to go along with the couch.  I'm not sure if I will keep it for this cottage or for another.  I think I like the white couch for this cottage, but I also like the style and color of this couch.  What do you think?  I know I still need work on my couches, but I'm getting a little better.

 

     

Pearl Necklace

I made these two pearl necklaces, I think they turned out pretty good.  They are very tiny, since I usually make real life jewelry, but they were fun to make.

 

Group Swap Items

I just received a group swap furniture package...this was my first swap and I really enjoyed it!

 

Sorry the pic is dark, I could not get a good pic here!!

Can you tell that I've been to Michaels?

Here is a red china cabinet that I have started on.  I will make it rustic or vintage...not sure yet?
Does any one belong to a Mini Group on Yahoo or Google?  If so, which ones are good?

Happy November!! -Kim :)

Auqua China Hutch

I have painted an aqua china hutch to go into my kitchen area...haven't really had alot of time for mini's lately, my youngest son plays soccer, and soccer season is here!!  Hopefully I have schedules straitened out now and will be able to make more mini's..I can't beleive Thanksgiving is almost here!! 

I really do like the Aqua color.

Shabby Chic Bench

I made a shabby chic bench out of cardboard, hot glue and fabric.

Update of Haunted House

Here is a little more progress on my Haunted House.

Sculpey Halloween Cake and Cupcakes

I have really been busy with LIFE lately, I did manage to make these Halloween cupcakes and cake.   I am guessing and hoping that I will finish my Halloween house before Halloween.  I will be traveling this week-end so I am sure that I will not have lots of time for minis, but I really need this mini-vacation!!  Hope everyone has a great week-end!!

 

Haunted House

I'm making a haunted house out of cardboard.  The shape is pretty simple.  I can not wait to see how this project turns out!!  This is the beginning stages..I will probably not put any furnishing inside..it is really for my halloween vignette.

 

Sculpey Pumpkins

Here are two sculpey pumpkins I made....I was not feeling well over the week end so I did not get much accomplished.  Okay for my first try at pumpkins.

Perfume Bottles

My version of perfume bottles...I did not know that the glue I used for gluing the beads together would also stick to my fingers...that is what I get for never reading directions before I jump in.

Oh well, maybe one day I will read the directions....

Oh well, maybe one day I will read the directions....or use tweezers!!

Occasional Tables

I made two Occasional Tables..

One white...

and one black.

Also, a picture that I need a frame for.  Not much for the week end, busy with family life.

Thank You!!

Just wanted to say Thank You to my followers and for the comments!!

Wooden Furniture Puzzle and Painted Sideboard

Here is a furniture puzzle that I got for $1.99, aren't  the cute?  It was on the clearance isle at Michaels.

I can't wait to see how these turn out!!

Also, I made a sideboard (well I think I'm going to use it as a sideboard) and painted it. I made it out of a small chest and a piece of cardboard for the shelf inside.

  and....it's not white!

Kithen Table and Chairs/Mini Halloween Cards

I got the chairs from Hobby Lobby and I made the table.  I used wood glue and hot glue..I'm really wanting to learn how to use real tools to make furniture.  I definitely need some lessons first. I even have a dremmel  tool and do not know how to use it. Oh well, maybe in the future.

I also made some Halloween Cards and Envelopes.

 The pictures are blurry, I couldn't get a descent one, but you guys get the idea...I think they turned out Okay for my first try at mini cards and envelopes..they are just simple cards, maybe next time I make them fancier.

Thank You Victoria!

I won 2nd place in Victoria's http://darksquirrelminiatures.blogspot.com/ give away!
Thank you so much Victoria, every mini item is beautiful.
I felt like it was Christmas  Day when I opened my package to see all of my surprises.
The fairy chair is perfect!!

Painted Bedroom Furniture

I tried painting the furniture white and didn't like it, now I've painted the furniture apple green with white accents.

I'm not sure if I like the furniture, it's too big for the cottage.  I will keep it until I get more furniture, and it was fun making these, maybe I'll do a room box and use this furniture in it.

Everyone have a great week end!! - Kim :)

Cardboard Furniture

I thought since I haven't any bedroom furniture I would make some, until I decide on the furniture that I want.  Until then I've created a bed and a dresser out of cardboard....of course I will be sprucing these up a a bit.

  I made this out of match boxes and cardboard and match sticks to cover up the ends.

I made this out of an upside down large match box, small dowels for the post and cardboard cut outs for the head and foot boards.

Here is a picture of them both.  The lighting is better in this picture.  Well, wish me luck in trying to make these two pieces look presentable.

Hope everyone had a good week end!

Well, I didn't get much accomplished this week end, but I did get a little rest that was very needed.  Hope everyone had a great week end.

Here are a few things that I've made for the cottage.....

 Hanging plant on the front porch.....

Hand painted vase with ribbon roses......

My attempt at cup cakes made out of clay with paper holders.......

and some wooden plates hand painted by me....

I hope every one has a great week!! :) -Kim
