Look what came in the mail!

I have finally gotten my hat that I ordered from Kat the Hat Lady! Actually it came pretty quickly, but I do not do well with anticipation, so it seemed like forever after she told me she had mailed it.. I had it made for my witch's hutch and I absolutely LOVE it!!! She has plenty more to choose from so go check out her blog here.



Kat also included the 2 little pumpkins which are so cute! The lighting in the photo is not to great, but I am still learning how to use my new camera. Thank you Kat! I can use one of them for my hutch! :)



My second little package today from a giveaway that I won from Cate. One of her many talents are the most adorable mini rugs and she was giving one away for Halloween on her blog, and I was fortunate enough to win! Thank you again Cate. You should stop by & see her blog here.



Of course with all of my new minis, I had to try the out to see what they would look like on my hutch. Obviously, it is nowhere near finished, but it is starting to come together a little bit. I need to add potions along with some other things, but I need to learn how to make them first!

Here is a closer shot with the dragon scroll & wand from my previous post. Along with some other pages I have printed out. Not too bad I think..... I want to add some scrolls but I need to learn how to do those as well.

I have been reading through the question & answer blog Ask Tabitha, and I am going to work on aging paper this weekend & see how it goes. There is a lot of good information there. It is a great resource! If there is anything you want to know or learn how to do, then send her your questions & she will get them answered Here.

Well, thats about it for now,

Take Care!

NAME Day Hutch....

On Oct. 2nd, my local miniature club celebrated NAME Day. (National Association of Miniature Enthusiasts). Miniature clubs from all over pre-ordered these hutches in whichever scale they preferred and got together on Saturday to put their hutches together. Our group met at a members lake house and it was a beautiful day. This is my hutch that I completed. I (of course) wanted to do a spooky hutch, so I stained it with black stain, but rubbed most of it off to give it an aged/worn out look. The flash in the photo kind of washes out the color, but i will try to take a better photo when I get to see the sun again. Now I get the fun of filling it up! I am going to do some potion bottles, scrolls, pumpkins, skulls, and any other spooky things I can find.



These are some spooky trinkets I found at my local craft store today in the scrapbooking section. They are actually brads, but I plan on using the skulls as the drawer & cabinet pulls on the bottom. I thought they were perfect! There are a few more stores I have to scout for Halloween decorations next weekend to see if I can find anything else.


That is really all I have for now, I was trying to do some eyeballs tonight, but so far they are not working too well, but practice makes perfect....:)
