Thought I would add a bit of lace along the top of the little basket I made the other day. Looks cute!
I'm making "zinc" (card ...) flower buckets, following instructions from a YouTube tutorial by Annie, from We Love Miniatures. I've made up the buckets and painted them grey, and the next step is to add a coat of the grey and silver paint to create the zinc effect.
I wanted to make some signs to "sell" in my miniature gift shop, and I thought I had pictures from magazines I could use, but turned out all I had were pictures I'd found on Pinterest. I printed a few out, but I didn't like how they came out ... so I ended up buying some (7!) on Etsy. And then, today (or yesterday - it's way past midnight!), I cut these two out, stuck them on card, and distressed the edges ... and they actually look OK! I'm not sure if I'm going to use them in the shop, or leave them for the 1:12 dollhouse, for the cake shop/tea room on the ground floor ...
I've also bought a few candles and other things from another seller on Etsy. I wanted to make as much as I could myself, for the shops, but there are some things that end up cheaper to just buy. I do have some jars, and I want to make a few Yankee Candle-style jar candles though, those look very realistic when made well.
