Mini Chaise Lounge Chair...

I am pretty excited and 

amazed about my latest creation...

Thanks to an excellent tutorial by Kris at

1 Inch Minis by Kris

Her instructions are clear and very concise.

She has many other tutorials 

and puts a new one out every month.  

Please go by and give her a visit.

(Just click on the link above)

The whole thing is made of cardstock,  
matboard, and foamcore.  

I think it came out pretty good for my first try.  

I love it!
Now I have to find a place to put it!

Thanks,  Kris! I couldn't have 
made it without you!

The garden on July 12, 2013...

Take a little tour with me, 

and see what's blooming now...

(Click to make the pics bigger)

My garden never ceases to amaze me... There's so much beauty in those flowers.   That's why I love it so...  And that's why I break my back working in it!   hahaha    I am out there most days, sometimes in the rain, and sometimes when it's way too hot.

There's always something to do.

.A mini gift...

I belong to a Dollhouse Miniature Club and was asked to join in a swap group.  I received this gift for the month of June.  It is so well done.

a man's shirt and tie...

this is a box for the tie (on the left)-- 

and the box that the shirt came in...

So cute and so realistic!
