Over on Instagram I post mainly crafty-inspired photos, lots of flowers and things I cook or eat. Those that follow my journey might be familiar with my two favourite hashtags #flowersonfriday and #miniaturemonday. So when we visited Cockington Green last October during our trip to Canberra – these 2 hashtags did collide. Cockington Green is […]
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 […]
This Christmas gift was 6 months in the making. And is not quite finished either. But the 25th December deadline insisted I deliver this labour of love. Who would be worthy of 6 months of my craft time – my miniatures loving parents. I created this fairy-tale walk in wardrobe for them. Let me walk […]

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 […]

I asked my lovely Instagram community for any ideas and my lovely Instagram friend, Margaret, suggested I turn it into a miniature quilt. Perfect, that’s what I’ll make, a miniature quilt, so I can hang on the wall of […]
Ok, yes, I am guilty I have neglected my ‘miniature Monday’ posts of late but I have something special to share with you. My parent’s were invited to stay in their friend’s sons beach holiday home a couple of months back. They had a wonderful time and loved the home they were welcomed in. Manyana is a […]
Last weekend I visited the 26th Sydney Miniatures and Dolls’ House Fair. Miniature enthusiasts display their creations and traders sell their wares. So typically doll houses are built, furnished and displayed as are room boxes and shops. But this year, tea cups and biscuits tins were decked out as well! Go on make yourself a […]
Yes it has been a little while since I made some stock for my mini haberdashery shop but I have been busy making some faux leather hand bound albums. Go check out my WIP page. A teaser, a little collage of one journal. More photos on W.I.P page.
Head over to my W.I.P section for another update [#4] on my mini haberdashery shop. Made more kits and very cute yo-yo bunting. And yes, the door has fallen off it’s hinges, I am waiting for the handyman 😉
