tiny things

I was thinking a month or so ago, about miniatures. I've built a couple miniature houses. They were fun and I like them. I have one, in the waiting so to speak. It's a really good one. The kind that could be a family heirloom, once it's done. Not that I have anyone to leave it to. Anyway, the first floor is a shop and the 2nd and 3rd floors are living space. The other super great thing about is, it has 4 sides and the front opens. My shop could be anything! A general store, a bakery, a craft shop! Cool, huh!?! It's a someday thing. I'm thinking that my fella should build it for me. He'd be a lot better at it than I would be. I'm not nearly as precise or straight. Plus, I like the decorating part better. Yeah, he should definitely build it for me. 💚

Oh, yeah, so I was thinking about miniatures...I wanted to do something small. So I decided I would do a room box. What I found instead, was this awesome little kit, for $20. A Christmas themed room. It came with everything in the picture. So I bought it. I just had a 4 day weekend so I spent all my free time, working on this little room. It's tiny though, 8x5x6. Much smaller than a real miniature house scale. 


Here is it;

See that little candle on the piano? A bead, a sequin and a rolled pc of paper
I had to upholster that sofa and fringe that rug
...and make the box (pan) the turkey sits in
...and put the hanging lamp together and the candle on the table and the lights on the tree
 see that little clock? that basket? I made those
 see those boxes? I had to make them.
 yep, it's lighted too!
There are a couple things I didn't do. They were just too tiny and they didn't really matter.
