well, it's another windy day in paradise. the wind has been blowing for the last few days and gusting up to 50mph. it really sucks. i can't work in the wind and basically have to stay inside. my mare doesn't like the wind one little bit and tells me about it when i go out to feed her. i did manage to stop at the one of the local thrift stores yesterday and found some goodies that will make really cool minis. for example: i found this box, it's 4 1/4" wide and about 6"tall and maybe 2" deep. it has an opening already cut out in the front (i think it had a bottle of cologne in it at one time). anyway, i took one look at it and immediately thought PUPPET THEATER! i made a couple of very basic "hand puppets" last nite, but i'm not too sure that i'm satisfied with the way they turned out. i'll post pics as soon as i get them made and inside the theater :)
another set of goodies are these glass candle holders that someone had spray painted black. they had hot glue all over them, but that pulled off easily enough. i turned them upside down and voila! gazing mirrors for a magical garden!
another mini that i made, was that cute little swing set. it's in a previous post along with the website of the lady that created it. i decided to put the swing in a potting saucer with sand and greenery. i put glue in the saucer and covered it with fine sand. now i have to wait for the glue to dry and hopefully it will look the way i want it to before i add the greenery. if not, then the swing will sit in a mossy garden with no sand :) i really hope it turns out well. there's is some tiny little fairy out there somewhere that would love to sit and swing on a nice spring day.
well, the wind is still blowing and i have some errands to run, more minis to make and a dance class tonite :) busy busy!
see y'all later! if you like my blog, please leave a comment and follow me!
have a wonderful magical mini day!!
