 Happy Holidays 2021! I hope everyone has been well! I've been busy writing books so I haven't been playing with minis as much, but I'm looking forward to getting back to minis and catching up on everyone's blogs.  My next book, Is This for Real?, has a writer who is a miniaturist and posts scenes with a couple called Piper and Rob.  Unfortunately, I'm not actually that good at posing my dolls, as this is Rob and he is supposed to be looking at Piper. I couldn't get his head quite right.  But anyway, Happy Holidays!! And Happy 2022! I hope it's a healthy and mo ..read more

 When The Magic Portal celebrates my debut novel Partner Pursuit, it goes ALL IN.  Lol. It helps when you know the owner :) Here's a book reading: One of my closest friends Ketsia Elie of Itty Bitty Adventures made mini versions of my book for me. I am so touched. And now all the animals get to listen to it :) Here's the author opening up the box of those first copies of her novel.  And yes, The Magic Portal is featuring Partner Pursuit in its windows.  My second book Is This For Real? will feature a miniaturist, but Partner Pursuit features a lawyer.

The desk of a writer. I am sorry I've been away from mini land. I've really missed you guys and playing with my minis. I've been writing a women's fiction with romance novel. So, writing (and remote schooling) have taken up all my time.  Actually my desk is a lot messier than that. I have craft reference books and binders and all sorts of things on my desk. Eventually, I will do a more realistic desk of a writer. :)  We finally had a Big Apple Miniaturists meeting again in person (distanced and masked), and I was so happy to see everybody. And I also got so happy looking at my min ..read more

  So Robina of #myminiatureabodes on Instagram created a mini kit challenge to complete a kit from your stash each week. I have three boxes full of kits. And so I was in. (Picture of my flower shop. The purple flowers in the stone work were purchased from Artistic Florals.)  The first week theme was Outdoors.

The white flower pot is from HBS Miniatures.  Week Two was Vintage. pick a vintage kit or the oldest kit in your stas ..read more

And wrap presents for Christmas: Hope you are all still enjoying the holiday season ..read more
