A MINI ANGEL

4/28/09

Sandy Dawson was a dear "e" pal. I will always remember our silly days on DHG, and the kindness and support she gave me through many trying times. If there is a MINI HEAVEN she is there.

COMPUTER WOES

4/20/09

Google is moving all of my sites. I spent a couple of days trying to learn the new format.

I was VERY tempted to delete the sites and blogs and rip out my internet connection.

SWAP DAY FAILURES

4/17/09

It's swap day. I made a tired serving tray, the glue doesn't hold well enough for shipping. I knitted a doll's doll but I didn't like the face.

CHUGGING ALONG

 4/16/09

I made some of the faux windows for the wall rooms. I printed window views from google, because I don't have time right now to go to Scituate to take pictures.

I spent a lot of time on the Mini Resources web site. 25% of the sites are defunct. :-( COME BACK !!! We homebodies need our NET FRIENDS. Great Mini Week ! I installed another cherry floor in the Thornhill. One more to go.:-)

DUMPSTER DIVE

4/14/09
I spent the day in the mini room. Finished nothing. DH did a dumpster dive. He's bringing home another doll house. I asked him what kind of dollhouse. He said it's a single family, not a condo. :-)

ABOUT MINI ME (aka Mimi the Misfit Miniaturist)

I started the Seaview in 1990. I didn't even know that miniaturing was a "hobby." I fell in love with everything when I went to my first mini show.

In 1995, I became an internet mini person. I was looking for information, so that I could learn ways of making things to complete the house.

I met some wonderful people through internet mini groups, and bulletin boards. Many of them have moved on to other hobbies, or to Mini Heaven.

The fun we had, the encoragement they gave me, and all that they taught me, will stay with me always.

 

On a very sad and lonely Thanksgiving morning, I received an e-mail giving me notice, that one of the Net Groups had given me first and fifth place awards for my Nativity and Sobriety roomboxes. I was so blown away by this, that I cheered right up, and realized that MINIS have a way of making people smile (especially me).

 

I "accidently" acquired a few more buildings, and soon my intention of building ONLY the Seaview blossomed into a full blown mini obsession.

 

Somehow minis find their way into my home. Someone "out there" thinks I should be making or fixing minis. I'm not arguing.

In the past 20 years, no matter how bad life gets, minis can take me away for a while, and make me smile.
