There are numerous things indicating that I will be an ineffective caretaker of a human being. One of these is that I can be overly-neurotic when it comes to medical conditions. For instance, we had ...
Did you know that I prefer Peeta over Gale? So… erm… TEAM PEETA! Whew! I’ve always wanted to say that. Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, let me tell you how excited ...

The teeny teapots (and pitchers?) finally joined their life-sized sisters on the shelves. These are the two newest additions to my teapot collection. They’re pin cushions! De. Light. Ful. Thank...
Were I to make a poll of the number of valued voices in our house that love maxi dresses, I’d come up with mine and those of our 4 cats. I love them because they’re fun to wear; the cats ...
Life. Life is what happens while you’re busy saving drafts for future blog posts. That moment of profundity is brought to you by my second cup of coffee for the day. I will tell you the brand b...
…it’s looking like I will be getting out of my cave more this year. Last Friday, the boyfriend and I attended the opening of an art exhibit presented by local contemporary artists. A coup...
Note: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE SWEET WORDS (COMMENTED, EMAILED, FB-COMMENTED) ABOUT THIS PROJECT. I HAVE RECORDED THEM AND STORED THEM IN MY HEART. THEY SHALL KEEP ME COMPANY IN MY DYING DAYS (...
It’s only the 6th but I’ve already accomplished a lot this year. And by a lot, I mean finishing my miniature dollhouse cafe. Yes, I know, this took more than a year to make but yay for 20...

When your life partner goes out for one of his walks around the city, you can only hope that he brings back something nice. I’m kidding. I never demand for the boyfriend to bring me back offeri...
You know how I’m a messy crafter? Or person, in general, really. I am messy because: 1. Cleaning up after myself interrupts a good crafting roll. 2. I am convinced that as long as I have a plac...
Every year, the boyfriend’s mom displays a Christmas village. She started her collection several years ago. After scouring the whole city the whole year for things that can be added to the disp...
I love Christmas for many reasons. One of the recent ones will have to be the rise of miniature ornaments. Everyone uses them for their Christmas villages or general holiday decor. I use them for my ...
Wow, I cannot believe 2011 is about to end. And that next year, the world will end. Woot. I kid; I don’t think the world will end like that. This “end of the world” business is a gr...
You know those towns in TV shows with town centers and promenades and parks? You know, places where people hang out to buy a few quirky things or perhaps get a bite to eat. Well, we don’t have ...
There is a section in our new flat that the previous tenant transformed into small rooms for rent. Each room measured about 1.5 x 3 meters. Instead of taking everything down when we moved in, we deci...
As you can probably deduce from my latest posts, I am lost in the many twists and turns of domesticity. Despite all my efforts, though, our house still looks like a crime scene. Of domestic proportio...
So remember when I made THIS? It’s one of my popular tutorials. It even got a mention on Craft (thanks!). Well… I made another bobbin holder. And yes, I have a tutorial, too. This time, I...
The destination was artsy-kitschy. And I think that we are almost there. Photos are of the living room. We had shelves built for my books and knick-knacks. Yes, I am a huge Dean Koontz fan. I know w...
You would think that since the boyfriend and I are freelancers, our flat would be completely livable by now. That is not the case, sadly. I shall not consider this place livable until the water situa...
Third world country that we are, the previous tenants at our new place removed the main water pipe when they moved out. Third world country that we are, the water department gave us a song-and-dance-...

As you already know, I am making a miniature cafe. But because I live where I live, finding the right dollhouse accessories is as hard as finding a vacant mall cashier a day before Christmas. I can&#...
Mommy Snow watching me work. This cabinet by the window has become her favorite spot. For sleeping and for spying on the dogs next door. Stickers for the dollhouse. Will be used for trim, wall art, ...
The miniature cafe is coming along nicely. I still have no idea what to call it, though. Suggestions? Share/Save
For the last 8 months or so, I have been working between 10 in the evening until around 4AM. This meant that I woke up at around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. This schedule worked for me for the most part...
