Lovely Old White Chalk Paint...

Today I worked on a painted farm table. This one is painted with Annie Sloan Old White Chalk Paint, my favorite. I wanted the table to have an old, vintage look, so the distressing is intentional. The farm table, right now has only one bench (I'm working on the second), I was excited to share. I also made a cushion for the bench seat with a pretty vintage style fabric. I'm hoping to list this one and 2 other tables (no seating) by Friday.
Just my luck, my mini miter saw broke right in the middle of working on the table bases, so I had to order a replacement. Hopefully it will arrive in the next few days...maybe I should go do some "real house" cleaning??? ;).

A Tiny Pair of Sneakers...

Just playing around with sneakers…they are so tiny :0. Should have curved them more around the ankle, but I can live with it.

Playing around with sneakers. These will work perfectly for the Travel Trailer.

Bear in the Box...

I stumbled across a miniature artist, Yukitsplace on Instagram. She created a wonderful Jack in the Box using a bear instead of a clown. I fell in love with it. She photo'd a few steps to give an idea of how she put it together, so off I went. I made a few adjustments, but creating it was pretty straight forward and fairly easy.
I think I'm going to try one with a Bunny:).

This is the inspiration for the Bear in the Box. Yukitplace. The artist creates wonderful mini's. 

The Chesterfield...

Last week I started working on a Chesterfield Sofa. I created a pattern, built the frame and happily began putting it together. Everything was going so smooth until I got to the arms. I tried this and that, and retried that and this, it just didn't work. I decided I didn't want to spend anymore effort on it, so I scratched it (except for the frame).

After thinking about how I could solve some of the problems, I gave it another try. I had a burst of "Chesterfield" energy on Sunday. As I was working and working and working, I began to realize that "I don't like making sofas". I was curious as to how this Chesterfield would turn out, so I kept going.

After a full day, I finally finished the Miniature Dollhouse Chesterfield. I think it turned out okay, there are some things that I could improve upon.

I'm not going to say I will never make another, but…
