Another craft that seems to be taking off lately is Needle Felting. Even the miniature world is doing it. So of course, I wanted to try it. I finally found a small beginner kit that did not break the bank, so made my first penguin the size suggested in the kit. There was enough to make a few penguins, so I decided to see how small I could make one.
I think this is pretty small and pretty cute, myself :) I am not sure if I will be selling it, or adding it to one of the beds in my Fairy Dollhouse......

Miniature leather look books
I have met some wonderful miniaturists through various blogs, and this lady is no exception. She emailed me a tutorial on how to get this look in a miniature book without having to resort to figuring out how to get pieces of leather thin enough to be closer to scale. The brown ones are 1:12 scale and open with blank pages (I bound these pages myself using the longstitch binding method). I aged the pages using coffee/water and my embossing heater (when drying the pages, if you hold the paper in one spot for a few seconds the pages start to burn a little bit).
The blue one is 1:24 scale, but is not bound the same way. This ones looks like it could open, but it doesn't.
If you get a chance visit Nikki over at Witch and Wizard Miniatures - she is the one who showed me how to do the covers of these books.

1:144 Dollhouse - All DONE!
I bought this dollhouse with some Birthday money from mom. I have had the dollhouse done for a little while, but I wanted to landscape it as well. I picked up the greenhouse at a train model shop - it is HO scale. The little people are N scale. Train stuff isn't the same as dollhouse scale, but sometimes they can fit in ok. The colourful bushes around the house and the greenery is Flowersoft - a scrapbooking product.
The trees are from a Train model shop as well. I have this all mounted in a clear box I got from Michaels that is used to hold collectibles (this is my lazy way of ensuring I don't have to dust all these little bits!)
Enjoy the photos!
