Shutting Down

I have, very much, loved having this blog and sharing all my creations with you but Blogger is just not the platform for me.  I will be closing down my blogs on Friday the 13th.  I will still, however, be posting to my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mindthelilthings/ if you would like to continue to follow what all I am up to.  Love you all and hope to keep in touch, if you have a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc, that I can follow you on, post it in the comments section.  Thank you and God bless.

Miniature Fireplace

For those of you that didn't know, I took a break from electronics for the entire month of February.  Besides lowering my stress and anxiety, I got quite a bit done with the free time I suddenly had.  Which of course included miniature making.  One of which I am super happy with was a quick project I made from a Dollar Tree dresser.  

I started by putting it in the microwave to soften the glue and removed the front panel and legs.


Then I used jumbo popsicle sticks and cut them to frame my fire place.


I also purchased some stain markers from the Dollar Tree and used one to stain the fire place.  Below is the finished product.  I love how it came out.

12 Days of Christmas Crafts: Day 11


I've been seeing these gnomes everywhere and wanted to make one for myself.  I used a water bottle, a mop that I bought at the Dollar Tree, a sock, a wooden bead and some ribbon.  I wish I had had a bigger wooden bead for the nose but I am still happy with how he came out.  Isn't he cute!

12 Days of Christmas Crafts: Day 8

I woke up with a cold this morning so not a lot of crafting got done.  I will, however, show you a craft I hadn't planned on posting about because it wasn't much, but it will have to do since I didn't get anything else done today...



I made a little snowman ornament out of a tea light.
