Wooden Shelves

 Wooden Shelves

Lots and lots of wooden shelves coming

I have been back working on miniatures, but it is going slowly. I took a break for about 2 years and started working again in 2024. I had a very nice routine established before the break, I am trying so hard to get back to. Gosh, I will working super hard :)!!

I am in the process of making 100 new miniatures that will include wing chairs, sofas, ottomans, and painted shelves. When I see the work coming together, I feel excited about creating again and can't wait to get them listed in the shop! 

Keep an eye out, as I will update my social media pages when new items are uploaded to the shop.  Wishing everyone a wonderful New Year and I look forward to creating wonderful pieces for your mini homes.

Hello Friends…

 

Happy New Year! It’s been a long time, 3 years to be exact! Wow, I never thought I would be gone that long, so many times I tried to get back to it, but life took over. Nothing bad, just life. My mom joined our family for about 2.5 years. Mom and I share a “DIY” passion, so we basically worked on my entire house. I’m not kidding! 

I love old classic furniture made from quality woods. We spent quite a bit of time visiting thrift, goodwill, and vintage stores scouting out wonderful finds. But...they all needed editing, i.e., removing old stain, fixing, sanding and finally staining to bring the items back to life. I admit, it was a hard job, but it was great spending time with mom doing things we both love. Remember COVID, yep went thru that too! I was so proud that we all remained COVID-free up until the very end. By that time we all were vaccinated, so it wasn’t too bad. In May of last year, mom moved to Texas, that was and is, very difficult for me. We are extremely close. I miss her company so much. The remainder of the year I finished up projects and enjoyed Christmas time with family, including mom! 

It’s a new year and I have miniatures on my mind. I am finally at a place where I can began to create and sell again. Oh man, I’ve missed the mini world!

Although I haven’t be active, I see many of you have and I love watching what you are making, how you are using social media to showcase your work and the wonderful projects you are producing. It’s great! I am so inspired! 

This week has been the start of getting my shop, fabulouslyflawedminiatures (Etsy) up and running again. I'm not live yet, but I'm getting closer.  I started by working on organization; logging into accounts, changing passwords, reading the Etsy catalog to see what has changed (the fees...OMG), reviewing my inventory, opening Photoshop and practicing on things I had mastered a few years ago, and updating all of my devices.

I checked out my Etsy traffic, and I pleased to see that people are still visiting my site, this makes me so happy and I thank you so much! 

Please keep an eye out, I should have everything working again very soon, I will make an announcement on all of my social media platforms when the shop reopens. If you are not following me, here are links to all of my accounts:

Original Mini Artwork...

I have always wanted to paint little mini canvases. Yesterday, I have a little extra time while the mini furniture was drying. I pulled out a little canvas and created the little modern piece.

Miniature Samplers...

 I love cross stitched samplers on linen. There was a time when I was so obsessed, I would spend hours and hours cross stitching. I have a few pieces in hanging in my bedroom and it dawned on me, "I can turn these into minis". So I started taking pictures, editing, sizing and framing. Below is a set that I am grouping together. They are so tiny and super adorable. I hope you like them.

Old Denim...

 Hello everyone. I've been away for a bit, but I haven't stopped making minis. I have tons, I mean tons of new items coming. It's a lot of work to not only make the minis, but to stage and photo items for Etsy is a huge undertaking. I'm trying to get myself motivated to start the process. In the meantime, I keep making more minis...omg!!! 

I still have a few more sofas, chairs, ottomans to complete. Then I will move on to accessories, which will include wood work, vintage laundry baskets, and planted topiaries. Mom has been knitting and sewing lots blankets, throws, duvet sets and toss pillows in wonderful new colors. 

Here's a peek of the new size table ottomans I'm creating for your mini home. This one is made with a pair of old jeans, I thought it could look fantastic with a white sofa for a shabby scene.

This ottoman measures: 3 inches x 3 inches lined wooden tray included

Prize Brown Leghorns...

Turning My Original Artwork into Minis...
