New Project!!!

Okay, so I have decided on a new project. Late last night I decided that I wanted to make a roombox of the Whistle Stop Cafe from the movie, Fried Green Tomatoes (My all-time fav. movie).
So, I'm posting a couple pics so that maybe I can get some ideas of how to do this effectively, and cheaply. (ie. from household stuff ect.)

This is the Hickory pit from the movie, it sits right outside of the cafe.


This is also out in the back of the cafe.

View from back window of cafe.

This is the Smoke house out back where Smokey Lonesome stayed.

These are different views of the interior of the cafe
This is the front window, and the front of the cafe in 2 different scenes in the movie.


Any ideas at all that you guys may have would be greatly appreciated and the credit will be given to you.

Thanks,

New Post

Okay, I haven't written in forever, because I've been busy with school. I did however take a break for the summer, so hopefully I will get some cool minis done. I have already made a cherry cheesecake (thanks, Mel's Miniatures) and I have made raw eggs, and a pizza, and a cheese ball... I don't really know how they look, as I am sorta new to this. I will post pics soon and you guys can tell me what I did wrong.

I am having trouble figuring out what I want to make... the ideas just aren't coming.

Gimme some tips everyone!

Thanks,

New Blog

I just wanted to update my colors for Spring... I LOVE this blog theme!

Trying Pictures

These are just "practice pictures" This first one is of some flowers at the park.Next, here is the 2nd kitten we got (we now have 4) Her name is Mimzy.
Here is the 1st kitten we got... her name is Pixie.
Mimzy again.... adorable :)
Here is my brother's headstone that my sis and I surprised our Dad with. He wanted something really special for his firstborn, and since Ed was a nationwide pianist, this was perfect. My aunt had made a wooden keyboard with the banner, and leaves (shown on the headstone) for Ed (when he was living, obviously) and we therefore asked them to put it on the stone. The banner says: "Music holds a secret, to know it can make you whole"
For those of you who were at my wedding, Ed was the piano player there.

Mystery.... in Miniature?

Mystery, in my mind, is defined as something unknown or unproven. So vis-a-vis, something unknown, miniature style. I'm still working on my table gifts for the miniature show later this month. So far, I have a crystal ball, a set of Tarot cards, a palm readers poster, a map of the bermuda triangle, a pirate/treasure map, an astrologers chart, pics of UFOs and Nessie (Loch Ness Monster) and a painting of the Mona Lisa with moving eyes (as if someone is behind the wall looking through her eye-holes) Now my question to you all is simple.... do you think this is $5.00 worth? The list of stuff is a set that each person will get.

I'm also working on my miniature swaps for my yahoo swap group. The themes I signed up for were: Front Porch, Cats, and Sewing. For the front porch I have made 2 gazing balls with stands. For the cats, I will be making scratching posts and bags of kitty food and litter. For the sewing.... I have no idea... I may just cop out and make bolts of diff. fabric.

Anyways, other than miniatures, today has been pretty uneventful, though the weather was awesome. Dad didn't need me at the tax office today, so I got the day off :) I took my chapter 6 test in my nutrition class, and now I REALLY need to get my Psych. homework done :(

Well, that's it for now... gotta go do some junk :)

Toodles,

Trying New Things!

Well, I have decided to make myself one of these "blog-things" I hear people talking about. I'm unsure at this moment whether I like it or not... We shall see.

Not much is interesting in my life at the moment. I am in school, which is fine, but time consuming. I am currently working with my dad preparing taxes at his tax business. Other than that, not much else is going on.

I'm getting geared up for the Miniature show that will be in March... trying to figure out what to make for the theme "Mystery in Miniature". If anyone out there has any ideas, I'm open to listening.

Anyways, that will be about it for my first blog... stay tuned for more to come... and hopefully I can figure out how to add pictures to these... I will share some of my creations with the world.

But until then,
