I'm still here
And so thankful that you are also.
I finally got around to making a few little things, but can't show pictures of some yet.
I took part in Ninni's Christmas Calendar Swap, so I sent off 2 mini gifts that I made to Finland.
You will have to be patient and wait until close to Christmas to see them.
I did pull out the beads and glue to make a few perfume bottles and a nail polish for Jaynie. We decided on a color scheme for her loft bedroom, if I ever get around to putting it together.
We chose a denim blue as the main color, with green and yellow. We also plan to add a few touches of purple so MJ will feel more comfortable when she comes for her visit.
The clear one in the back right is a bit large but I like it.
I think that they came out pretty good, if you don't look to close at the crooked lids.
Which one do you like best?
I want to send a quick but very warm welcome to new followers
Ruth of Miniature Maven Diaries
Lilybets of nel bosco di lilybets / In The Woods With Lilybets
ta_pazzo Please let me know if you have a blog, I couldn't find one.
A couple of updates
MJ had a lovely time with Rosamargarita in Mexico and is on her way to the USA.
I hope that she makes it safe and sound to her next destination. It's too bad that she didn't make it on time to celebrate Thanksgiving but there is still much of the holiday season ahead.
Thanks to everyone who left a supportive comment to my last posting about my bad purchase.
We finally got a response from brinca dada about a week after my rant post, they offered to give us a credit for the purchase price or to send out another 2 sets of blocks. We decided to give them another chance (I really wanted those blocks) and asked them to send more.
That was over 3 weeks ago and have not recieved the blocks or even a note to say that they had been sent. My husband has sent many emails without a response.
The only email that I recieved from them was ads for their Black Friday sale.
My husband opened a claim with AmEx to reverse the charges on our card.
We will not lose any money but I don't get to play with blocks :(
The first snow flakes of the season are falling here, forecast is for 1-3 inches.
I hope that you are having a great day.
Thank you for visiting, Mary

I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to send out these welcomes and that I have not posted very much lately. The humidity is hitting me very hard this summer and it has not let up a whole lot. We had a couple of days that were drier but the humidity was very high again last night and today.
I hope that I will have some minis to show you soon.
Thank you for visiting, Mary

Thank You
I want to thank everyone who continues to follow even when I'm being a very very poor blogger.
And thanks and a very warm welcome to new followers
Eva of Mini Eva and More Things has a lovely blog. She has received some great rewards lately and has won some very nice give away gifts. Look at her older posts to see some beautifully detailed settings.
Gleise of My Crafts Visit her blog and watch her steadfast progress putting together a McKinley dollhouse. Gleise has had some trials in her building but she has not let it stop her and it's coming along nicely.
Cyd of My Mini Mod Pod . She has a very nice blog featuring some terrific modern furniture and great settings with fab style. Cyd recently was very generous and held 4 great give aways, I was so very lucky and won one of them.
Cyd was also my partner in Jazzi's Christmas in July Swap, I'll be able show you what I sent her and what I received from her in a couple of days. I think that I got the better of the swap, Cyd sent me a very nice package of minis. I very much enjoyed meeting and talking to Cyd through email over the last few months.
Jaynie and I love the table and framed art that Cyd sent us from her give-away. Jaynie would like to use the table as a desk in her bedroom up in the loft but I don't think that there will be room for much more than a daybed, we'll have to see. Maybe we'll have to fit a pretty little corner into the garage/workshop, if we ever get to it.
Thank you Cyd, for sharing these lovely gifts.

A New Project, Thank you and Welcome
I've been at a stand still with Jaynie's Loft for some time now. I have so many ideas but nothing seems to be coming together. I keep trying to work out a floor plan and not getting anywhere. So I've decided to put it to the side for a bit, with the hope that I will be able to see things clearer when I come back to it.
I've decided to work on the Farmstand kit that I bought recently, I will need to add to it, to make it a few inches taller, so Jaynie doesn't bump here head. I was planning to add a stone textured base to raise it up but that would raise the window/counter up too high. I will have to figure out how to add to the top.
I'm doing some straightening up and organizing while I gather some of the supplies that I will be using, then I hope that this project will go together smoothly.
I'm also planning to add links to any tutorials and printies that I use to M's Lists as Project - Farmstand and garden.
I want to send a big Thank You to Drora for the wonderful gifts that she sent.
How luck am I to have such a generous and talented friend .
Look at all the lovely little things that she has shared.
The flower and the water cooler will work great with the farmstand, all of the rest will go into Jaynie's Loft. (If I can ever figure it out)
BTW all the gifts are sitting on a vinyl floor tile, I'm thinking that it may make a good base for the farmstand. What do you think?
Here is a close up of the upper floor of the dollhouse, I just keep looking at all the amazing details. I love the little mirror over the dressing table.

And here's the lower floor, doesn't the sofa look very comfy with the tiny pillows.
Jaynie also sends a big thank you and a great big hug.
I want to send a late but warm welcome to 4 new followers who all have wonderful blogs.
Rosario of Tinkerbell and Casitas who recently posted pictures of cute little Ada, a fairy baby that she made. Jaynie went by for a visit, now she wants me to make her a blender and a few baskets like the ones that Rosario made so nicely.
Fabiola of The Magical World of Fabiola who just won the 'you inspire me blog' award. She has listed 5 of her habits, so it's a good time to visit and get to know her a bit. She is working on a pretty little shop which she is filling with beautifully detailed items. Fabiola is also offering her followers a chance to win some lovely baby items with her 300 followers giveaway , ends May 17.
Lucy of Evalina Rose makes amazingly tiny knit items with so much detail. She recently showed her handsom little bear, I'm looking forward to reading more of the story of Humble and his friend Pie. Lucy has also been working on making some darling mini babies and other lovely items in clay.
Heather of The Majokko Shop has cute and creative blog featuring her sweet little friends. Anna has been very busy lately, she shared how she made a very nice little paper house, she also enjoys Treasure Hunting AKA Geocaching with Heather, they have had some fun adventures and found some nice little treasures.

Spring Fling Kits and Welcome
My Sping Fling kits from Greenleaf arrived last week, I thought that you might like to see some pictures.
Here are the three different doors, they were $4.45 each. Each door is a front and back piece, the screen door includes a generous piece of screening, the other 2 come with a piece of clear plastic for the window.
I really like these. What do you think?
I decided to buy the greenhouse kit and add to it to raise it up a few inches. The kit comes with screening (again a very generous strip) and clear plastic. A single kit can be used attached to a house as a room or 2 kits can be put together for a stand alone building. I'm not sure how I want to use it so I bought more than 1.
Thank you Casey for your comment and advice, I'm glad that I bought them.
These are the outside side pieces and one door piece .
Each section is made from an inside and an outsise piece that you sandwich the screen or plastic between.
These are the front pieces with the door opening.
I also bought the farm stand kit, I only bought 1 of these. I will need to add to it so that Jaynie doesn't bump her head.
These are couple of the detailed pieces.
I also bought the main building, I'm thinking that it will make a good garage for Jaynie's Loft. Jaynie thinks that it would make a good office/ workshop/ crafts room. She also would like a full greenhouse and large garden to go with the farm stand.
I want to send a warm welcomes and thank you for joining my blog.
Malu of Malu's Minis has built a wonderful tiny mouse house. She also joined in my guessing game and won, a package of mini making supplies. Go visit her lovely blog and you will see that she has been on a winning streak and has posted about many great prizes that she has won recently.
Melymel of Melymel Small Dream has a beautiful blog where she gave all of followers a chance to win a wonderful prize. Look through here blog to see many lovely, creative minis.
Spring has arrived on Patrizia’s blog The Magic of Patty with some beautiful mini wild flowers. Patty has been busy making some lovely Raku pottery and decorating a dollhouse. Take a look at the spiral staircase and the bathroom tile in her Peony Villa, Jaynie really likes them.
Ana Camara, Please let me know if you have a blog, I can’t find one.

Welcome
I would like to send a warm welcome to
Casey and Tessie of Casey's Minis. Casey has blogged daily for more than 4 years. She is currently working on a very interesting project of filling 5 display boxes with curtains, which she shows how to make as she goes. Tessie is featured in many of Casey's postings and is always entertaining. You will find many great tutorials and lots of wonderful projects all through this blog. Casey is also one of the finalists for the 2012 Best Miniature Blog Reader's Choice Awards, you can still vote here until March 21, she won last year and is in the lead now.
I've made a decision on the exterior of Jaynie's Loft, I'm going to try to do a mix of stone and vertical siding. I don't know which parts will be which yet and I hope that I can find some tutorials on how to do them. If you can give me any advice or point me toward some info I would appreciate it. I will be going by Casey's to look at how she did egg carton stone work.
I'm hoping to have some pictures of some things that I'm working on to show tomorrow.

Welcome
I want to send a warm welcome to
Sanne of Sannen vintilla - In My Attic who is having a giveaway on her lovely blog. Her followers have the chance to win some very cute minis, a fish in a bowl, a jar of irises, a cuddle cat and dog toy. Jaynie hopes that we have some good luck to win, she would really like a pet fish. If you spend some time looking at Sanne's older posts you will find many beautiful minis and lots of cute characters with interest stories.
I've tried a new craft, needle tatting. I bought a book that came with 4 needles and a threader, it has general directions and a few patterns. The only other thing that was needed was thread. I used a #5 needle and #10 crochet thread for the flower pendant and butterfly. I was getting something wrong following the directions in the book so I looked on youtube and found this video for making the flower pendant. After I worked along with the video a few times I finally got this pendant. Then I went back to a pattern in the book, this time it only took me 3-4 tries to get the butterfly. I had a hard time getting the picot stitches (those little loops) even and keeping the stitches from twisting but I think that I now have the basics down fairly well. I think these look nice but if you want to see some very nice tatting, visit Amy at Crafter's Delights . She does shuttle tatting and has made some beautiful earrings that you really should see. I'm hoping that I can work out a pattern that I can shrink down using a smaller needle and finer thread to make some miniature doilies. Wish me luck, if it works out I may have doilies to share.

Welcome and Thank You
First I want to send a warm welcome to
Luisa of la casa di Lu who has a wonderful blog that showcases many beautiful minis in shabby chic style. Luisa is also having a give-away where she is generously offering the chance to win some of her mini treasures.
Second I want to send a big thank you to Maria of Pretty Things Ireland for sending me a package full of wonderful gifts.
Loo
k
Maria even decorated the container and included a lovely postcard, isn't she sweet .
I just love the comforter and pillows, the colors and pattern are so pretty.
I really did a poor job taking a picture of this, you can't really see the beautiful lace trim.
Little fabric baskets that are just perfect for Jaynie's kitchen.
A rose in a vase, a pretty tray, tiny fancy soaps, perfume bottles
and look at the cutest little bunny. I've been looking for one but had not found one that I liked. I really like this one, he will go outside Jaynie's loft, either wild in the garden or as a pet in a hutch.
And so many tiny treasures that I'm sure I missed something.
Some beautiful fabric to help decorate Jaynie's loft.
Another pretty tray, tiny necklaces, a gift bag, a calla lily, bows, plaques, butterflies, a cat, darling button flowers,
and bread, Jaynie will never be hungry.
Thank you Maria, I love every little bit and will enjoy using them. I'm going to try to copy and make more fabric baskets and fancy soap for Jaynie, they are so cute.

A big mini hug to
Amy of Crafter's Delights makes lovely crochet items, she recently made a cute little teddy bear. She is trying to work her way down to doll house scale, go by and wish her good luck. I think she will do it. Also sign up for her very generous give-away.
Ascension of Mis Miniaturas makes beautiful tiny teapots, candle holders and other cute items. Go by and see her lovely Christmas scene.
I just got two packages that I've been working on out into the mail. I'll show you pictures after they are received. It took me a lot longer than it should have, I've been running very slow lately. I didn't get as much made as I wanted to but I did make a little something and gathered some bits and pieces.
I'm still working at shuffling things around trying to get into a more organized state, it's going very slowly but I will keep working at it.
Jaynie and I are working on a small Christmas project and I'm making some Christmas presents. I should have pictures to show you in the next few days, hopefully.

Follower and Plants
Audra does have a blog, Honey, I Shrunk the House. Go visit and see her progress in putting together a very nice house, a Real Good Toys Glenwood. I really like the paint color that she chose for the outside.
I bought more plant making supplies, I couldn't resist the 90% off price. They were between 29 cents and $1.
Oops, I cut Jaynie's head off, she was tip toeing through the greenery.
All of the red bits are pieces from the bunches in the last picture.
I bought this square for the backing more than all the plastic greenery. I think it will make a nice trellis.
For 49 cents a trellis and 50 little bunches of heart shaped leaves.
Can you see Jaynie's new earrings? I got her head in this one.
Here are some of the plants that I started putting together, with help from Jaynie.
Some of the pieces that I bought looked like a spider plant so I dug out a plant hanger that I made about a year ago and tucked them into it. I think the hanger and the pot are a bit small. I think I'll make another a little bigger and with some wooden beads.
The pom-pom tree needs some leaves, I need to find the right paper, I'm not sure where it is right now. Some things seem to have gotten misplaced while I'm trying to organize.
The little one on the right is half of one of the little bunches from the square, I think that it makes a decent jade plant. The other little one is a Christmas cactus.
The last one was made from the leaves from the bunches that I bought a couple of weeks ago and the little red blossom from a new bunch.
