Always smile at a [plastic] crocodile

The Queens Birthday long weekend here in Australia means I can squeeze in a blog post. Over on Instagram I promised I would share my photos of the 29th Miniature’s and Dolls’ House Fair held on 5th and 6th May at Netball Centre Olympic Park. This year we exhibited and had a stall. So impressed […]

Fabric, fishing and flowers – in miniature of course!

On Saturday I attended the 28th Sydney Miniatures and Dolls’ House Fair at Sydney Olympic Park. Here are some of the items that caught my eye. Hope […]

Flowers and helicopters

Last Saturday my mum and I attended the Stitches and Craft Show in Sydney. We had a great time as always.
