I really like miniatures though I don't think I have the patience to create really intricate ones. I had some fun making this little set of furniture from the scraps that I retrieved from the off-cuts bin at our woodworkers club. I cut the pieces out on the band saw (my favourite machine) and glued them together. Sometimes I use tiny nails but mostly the glue is so good that it will break the wood before it will fall apart. I knitted the baby's teensy dress on very fine needles using fine cotton. (honestly, some people just don't have enough to do with their time.)
It's a beaut hobby because it hardly costs anything, even the bedclothes are scraps of left-overs. I did buy the paint though.
The newsletter looms again and I'll be busy with that for a while, so I'll see you in a few days. Bye for now.
Absolutely adorable! I think my fingers would be too big and clumsy for such fine work!
