Movies and Miniatures

Two of my favorite things.  Sometimes done together... sometimes not.  I have favorite movies that I love to watch, at my kitchen work area, that I have seen a hundred times and some that I've only just rented from the library.  Sometimes I am painting a newly made mini and sometimes I create on inspiration.  And sometimes my minis start one way and take on the affect of what I'm watching... leading me to always remember what movie was on while I made a piece.

This piece was an idea I had while at work, partly.  The side table here I made while watching Pirates or the Caribbean.  Which I think gave it a more nautical look when finished.  The first picture shown.. its not quite finished.  The candle does light up and flicker.  I've been thinking about that part for months.  This is just my first one.

This photo is taken in my new roombox.  I made it while watching Alice in Wonderland (Johnny Depp version).

Every piece seen here was handmade by me... except the tiny flowers on the wall... Jesus made those.

This little basket I made last night while watching The BFG (big friendly giant).  I can't believe I've not seen this movie! (Or made a teeny basket like this before)  I woke this morning at 4:37 thinking about coloring some sawdust that I got from my Dad's woodshop for moss.  So I got up, colored it, and glued it on.  Such a difference!!  I love it :)

This picture is also in my roombox.  The roses I found just yesterday at Hobby Lobby.  They had several colors and seeing as how I'm not good at making flowers (yet) I was tickled to find them.  The basket I've had for years and the table I made.

I love and mossy look so much.  I also added it to my fireplace this morning.  I couldn't help myself.

Yes.. I've missed you too... terribly.  Let's not get into the where, how or whys.  :)

Yours Truly,

Last month, my niece and I took a trip to my cousin's house in Houston, Texas.  She had a house warming party and had these teeny candles as party favors.  Sine Shaun doesn't care for strong scents from candles and air fresheners I brought my little candles to the day care.  Man does this one smell good!  It is from Bath and Body Works and is called Pumpkin Pecan Waffles.  YUM!  Really covers up that... day care smell... sometimes.

 

 

I recently watched a special on QVC... HHHAAAAA I always watch specials on QVC!!!  But really... Josie Maran, vanilla cream, whipped body butter with Argan oil is fantastic.  It feels so smooth and silky on my skin and smells fantastic. 

 

I think it was last Christmas or there-a-bouts that my Aunt Dea gave my sisters and I these neat little handmade gadgets that fit a soup bowl and goes into the microwave.  You can heat up your soup and not singe your hands trying to get the hot bowl back out when it's done.  It's genius!  I really use mine a lot at the day care when I am heating up my lunch.  I like to make batches of soup for myself and freeze lunch servings for easy eatin.

 

Sweet mini peppers... Mmmmm.  I use these babies for everything.  I eat them plain and cut up with my sandwiches, cut up in salads, cooked in the oven with other veggies... you name it.  They are crisp and great.  I just get mine at Kroger or Walmart's produce section.

 

 

Here's a picture of my microwave cozy that my Aunt gave me.
