How did a year pass by with me not writing anything here about my miniature adventures! I actually have been working on miniatures, so it's not as if I have been totally out of the loop! Honestly, life just got busy and I was having to 'chose my battles'.
So, what has kept me busy? Major changes in my life!
First of all Jason and I got married in October of 2021! I even bought a few miniatures on our honeymoon!
I had worked hard before our wedding to complete some miniature quilts for a fall swap. I was super happy with how they turned out! (I also participated in a Christmas swap in 2021)
In early 2022 we began the hunt for a house. We settled on our house on May 13, 2022. But even in the midst of searching and packing, I was working on a a few items for a larger scene. (more on that to come).
I spent hours carefully packing all of my dollhouses and moving them! Ohh and we moved also! Shortly after our move my mom had a stroke and that has kept me busy. But I still took the time to work on a dollhouse scene. I am doing the porch scene from miniaures.com for the creatin' contest. I have had so much fun with it and honestly love the 'deadline' because it keeps me from just saying, "I want to but I've got so much happening, I'll just do work on it tomorrow."
In conjunction with the contest miniature (which I will share someday soon), I have been working on throw quilts for a winter swap!
And of course I have had so much fun creating the quilts for my swap that I had to start working on some Christmas miniature quilts!
I have also decided to finally do it. I am working on setting up an Etsy shop for miniature quilts. I do love to make tiny quilts and have no outlet and that is what holds me back from making them. So maybe I will create myself a wee little outlet for my miniature quilts! (more on the Etsy Shop to come...but right now it is slated to be Maryfrans Mini Muse.)
Bring on the miniatures!!
