A Boy's Room

Not long ago I got a new room box that I made out of an old speaker box.  I painted it white and added in a popsicle stick floor.

Most of the artwork in this scene came from the back of old calendars. The lamp is made from a chess piece, a makeup lid and a bead.

The Kool-aid picture is from a magazine.

Hope you like it!

 

It's Been Awhile...

 I haven't been blogging and I am sorry for that.  I have still been crafting though and I have lots to catch you all up on.  Starting with the fact that we have moved for the final time.  We purchased our forever home last year.  I also have a new craft space!

bitch barn

I call it my Bitch Barn because its so much better than a She Shed.

I've already made so many things in the space that I can't wait to share with you all.  But stay tuned for the next post to see!

Something New

 

I got a new two new room boxes to play with.

I cut this picture from a magazine.

And I picked up a few new play pretties from the dollar tree, including this clear drawer tray that I used as a shelf, erasers that look like books (a little large for my scale), and the the plastic form from some barbie dresses I got for the girls which I painted yellow (still needs another coat of paint).

And this little guy.

Sorry I haven't been around much lately.  Life keeps from the things I'd prefer to be doing sometimes.

New Minis

This is going to be a quick post but wanted to share with you that I got a chance to pick up some new minis that Michaels hobby shop now has and a couple from the Dollar General in their garden section.  I even found time to get to play with them.  Down below are some pictures of some scenes I put together.  Have you purchased any of the new Michaels minis?  How about the wooden couch?  I haven't figured out how I want to dress it up yet so if you've picked one up, I'd love to see some pictures of what you've done with it.

The bed is new.

The lamp and chair are new

New-ish art work

Toys, toys, so many toys!

miniature toys

I have so many mini toys!  I tried to put them all in one scene and still have so many that I could not find room for!

 What do you have a lot of in your collections?

Miniature room

I've got a mini block.  Usually I'll just play with my minis and am able to come up with a new fun idea or two but lately, just can't come up with anything.  Do you ever get stuck in a rut?  What do you do for inspiration?

It Has Been A Little Bit

 

Dollar Tree miniatures

I picked up these at a Dollar Tree and decided I could paint them and use them in my minis.

Dollar Tree Miniatures redo

As soon as I find my white paint pen, I'll add his name to the dog bowl.  I also included some new tables I made in the picture.  They are much like the ones I made with bobby pin legs but the legs wouldn't stay on so I took two (out of the many) pizza centers "tables" I have, painted them black and used them as the bases.

I haven't worked much with new minis but will hopefully have more for you later.
