SeaShell Cottage

The Beach House, which became "Seashell Cottage" is finished.  I have donated it to a Silent Auction that is raising money for Pancreatic Cancer Research.  I began working on this with the idea to build it and leave a lot of the decorations and accessories undone, maybe just do the bare minimum.  But, the more I worked on it the more I felt compelled to decorate!  This was a joy!

I love this view of the front of the cottage.

Completed Interior.

My first effort at a "Tin Roof"

Last night, I had so much fun working on making original artwork for the Beach House. The largest are 4 inches square and the smallest is 1 1/2 inches square.  Enjoy!

I started my first miniature project for 2018.  It's a Beach House.  I always do lots of planning then find that I let the project take me where it leads!

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I posted on this blog!  It's been a busy time.  This winter, I've made some changes to existing projects. 

I had to adapt the Treehouse Retreat so that it doesn't actually live in our Weeping Birch Tree!  No matter what I tried, the "critters" were a problem!  I found a great faux tree stump to set it on and created a ramp that wraps around to go from the first floor to the second.

The Princess Cottage got new lighting and a little cosmetic work!

Abby's Mystical Rose Cottage had the most changes.  We had left it in a barely finished state and to submit it for publication it had to move forward!  I added a stone spiral staircase and additional space in the loft.  Lots of accessories and details finished it up.

I actually made the updates to the Forever Gingerbread Cottage in December 2017.

I always love the details that tell the story!
