Swaps and Minis I have made |
|
I made some wicker chairs for presents when I went to stay with friends in Australia, and as they were dog showing people I also made the dogs to sit in them - all the 1.12th scale chairs are now on the other side of the world. My friend Chell also got one, we met up when I was down under although we had previously only talked virtually as it were |

|
|
|
books, bibles, mirrors, lockets, fans, bottles, postcards, letter bundles, photo bundles, lacy bits and fabrics, cards, newspapers, certificates, maps and music books
I had the opportunity to showcase miniatures through an event at work. I offered people who visited the chance to make a miniature memory trunk, and fill it with whatever took their fancy. It went down very well, everyone who made one were impressed with the results. |

|
I dressed a 1.24th scale bed (we did a 1.24th scale swap on the greenleaf forum) |
this is also 1,24th - a little Raggeddy Ann and Andy kiddies bed |
|
1.24th scale modern bed with wicker headboard |
candlewick style bedspread, again 1.24th |
|
|
two candlewick bedspreads I made using bunka 1.12th |

I bought this kit at Miniatura in September 2005, got it finished by January 2006. Its not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I think I have done great. I love it and I have now bought some tiny metal furniture to go in it. |
I created this scene when I was in stay at home club, I won my Laurel when I entered it in the Greenleaf forum Winter competition - if you click on the picture you will be able to see more shots |
|
This is my very first completed carpet ( I like to start big) it measures approx 8in x 6in and is done on 18ct canvas and fringed with the help of mini4allers and minithreadworks peeps. Watch this space for my next project a cushion on 48ct, talk about throwing myself in at the deep end ! |
I made this for a good friend from work, she was very poorly in hospital and rather than just send her a card I sent her this little comforting scene instead. There is a teacup and teapot on the drawers, with a juicy apple on a plate, some books next to the lamp, where there are also some pretty glass bottles, the pillow and shawls look cosy and inviting on the chair, with a footstool, where there is a yummy choccy bar waiting with magazines, all finished off with pretty vase of flowers |
|
This was a minis4all swap. I swapped with Daffers who lives in the same county as me, so a new friend was found too. I made Daffers a 1/24th scale quilt, and I received a little baby, in the most exquisite knitted gown, even the tiny socks are knitted. |
|
|
In a private swap, Daffers made me a couple of potted plants, and I made her a 1/24th scale piano for her cottage. |
This is a smoked toddler dress I just felt like making |
|
This is a little something I made for my mother on her birthday, as she shows and breeds Maltese. I made the chaise and the dog, and then draped a throw and cushion and added a Maltese magazine. |
I made this little toy box filled with toys for a friends little girl when she turned 10 |
|
I bought this as a kit from Miniatura September 2004 |
Some more stuff I bought from Miniatura, the pony was 50p, due to a damaged leg, he now stands patiently outside Cobweb Cottage waiting for apples |

I made this for Christine in return for some scraps of leather, which you don't want to see here !! |
I made all these little books for Tiggys library, in return for one big book on dolls house soft furnishing |
