HAPPY HOPPY

A few more baskets for my Easter Box. Instructions by Joann Swanson, though I could never do her justice

PROGRESS CONTINUES

I've been making curtains and accessories. See more pictures here Thorhnhill In Progress

THORNHILL ATTIC

PROGRESS YAY! "Finally" the interior has all of it's paint, wallpaper, woodwork and flooring. This space is for the twin boys (preschoolers). Obviously they haven't spent much time in here yet. TOO NEAT. LOL!

MY FRIEND JOANNE

In honor of my dear friend Joanne who passed away recently, I am presenting this slide show of some wonderful minis she made for members of LINK LADY over the past 8 years.
WE MISS YOU JOANNE

HAPPY LEAP DAY

In honor of the day, I did a dolly (hand truck) for my husbands work shop.

This was from a kit I had collected many years ago. When I went to assemble it, I discovered NO AXLE. Luckily I had one small piece of wire that would fit in its place. If you are like me and seem to collect UFO's forever, ALWAYS check those kits for parts as soon as you get them. ;-)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

This year I only had time to add the Heart Tree to my Valentine projects. The tree is based on a Joann Swanson project. It was lots of fun and quite easy.

The birdhouse is by Doreen. The roses and cake were gifts from my wonderful DH.

Harley Cow House

This was one of my earlier houses that I gave away when I lost my home. I made it for my daughter when she was into cows and Harleys. She didn't have room for it either, so we had to let it go. It went to a good home and gave some joy to a man who was also going through trying times. You can see more photos at https://picasaweb.google.com/KalRon29/HarleyCowHouse

NEW DIY LINKS

I've added several new links to DIY MINI LINKS
Due to health and home issues, I haven't been able to keep up with my internet life, or devote much time to minis, for the past year. BUT!
I will be leaving the links site up, as several of you have requested. I'm glad you are finding it helpful and fun. Enjoy!
I'm working really hard to get well, and also trying to spend at least a few minutes a day working on the Thornhill.
I will try to post pictures from time to time.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement.

CHRISTMAS IN PROGRESS

I've been re-doing my Christmas room box. New wallpaper, flooring and tree, and a tweaking of other items. I made the candelabra from a Kilkenny kit, and built the tree from a GJ's kit. The tree decorations are temporary. I have been madly making a lot of ornaments (and mess) LOL! but didn't get them finished in time. Luckily I found a lot of ornaments that had been packed away, and rushed to put them on Christmas Eve, since it was the only tree we had this year.
I'll be adding and tweaking during the year. My minis (like life) are always "Works In Progress"
(wreath was made by Karen Brown, purple angel and tree on mantle by Nancy Day, penguin by Kristina Wallace, place mats and napkins by Joanne Weinberg, Santa table by Doreen Johnson, beaded angel by unknown artisan) 
Happy Holidays To All
