The AWESOME thing about this place is my workshop!!! WOOHOO!! I finally looked inside it today - it has 4 lockers, concrete slab flooring.. shelving.. and ROOM TO MOVE!! Oh and power.. for my dremel tools.. it's awesome!!<br />
<br />
Excited.. it's powered and lit - ready to go, and will fit all of my houses etc :) *happy dance*<br />

This 'dream' home.. has been a nightmare! Wouldn't even know where to begin, but it was unsafe and I obviously put too many demands on the owner.. who has decided to sell up!! I have lots of news.. and a new blog in the making also - once we have moved house!<br />
<br />
Hey it wasn't ALL bad... the bird life here has been amazing - I got my diploma in professional photography.. then bought a new camera as a reward to me.. and well... have NO idea how to use it!<br />
<br />
As for the mini stuff.. I haven't touched it - not that I didn't' WANT to.. but the house didn't work as I'd planned.. my son and I have now leased a warehouse - so it will begin again! Pics to come!<br />
<br />
The new home.. is about 5 mins from this one, though not near water - it 'works' though (this one was falling apart.. LONG story). I have a shed out the back I will turn into a workshop for me - NOBODY is putting ANYTHING in it but me this time.. the boys have their own shed. My Dremel tools finally have a home! woohoo!!<br />
<br />
I'll be back in a month or so - and my tools will be out.. my pub will be in the working again.. and I'll update you on what's going on with the warehouse! ATM it looks AWFUL!<br />
<br />
Below is the warehouse - I have started work on 'my' part of it.. which is the office t o the left.. and the empty space to the right of it. It's a mess.. but we'll get there!<br />

Seriously!! All I want to do is finish my projects and get new ones up and running.. ugh - we've been here 8mths!! Anyway.. to pass the time, I'm still doing my photography course - in fact almost finished! YAY! That WILL help with taking pics of my work - whenever I finally get back into it! (GRR)<br />
A fellow tog student posted this on his timeline on FB - thought I'd share it here - this guy's work is amazing!! Check it out!<br />

A tad annoyed because I still don't have access to my you-beaut workshop! It's still full of my sons stuff :( It'll be going soon and THEN I will be getting MY things unpacked.. and getting back into mini-ing!! In the meantime though - I have been doing a little 'macro' photography. This little guy was no bigger than 5mm across.. and to the naked eye looked smooth and almost wet!! What's with the HAIR? LOL Oh he was fun!! :)<br />

Just checking in since I haven't been around for a while. Looks like a lot of you have been very busy mini'ing! I still don't have my workroom set up - well either of them, as the outside workshop is still full of my son's things! Until that is rectified, I cant' unpack my mini stuff! ARGH!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still doing the photography course as well, am about halfway through it. Of course, I had to get into Macro photography too - the photo's of TINY things.. like the flower below which is 5mm across :) </div>

No mini stuff has been done.. 2 weeks till my first inspection at the new house, then I'm back into it!! As I may have mentioned, I'm also doing a photography course, which has taken up a fair bit of my time, but.. the biggest issue is.. I haven't set up my craft room yet!! There are reasons for this.. many - but it will all happen in due course - just hoping for some co-operation from the ex hubby - father of my children ;-)<br />
Spring has sprung here in Australia, and we've had the most perfect weather! I took this pic after looking out my window while cooking dinner.. it was too good to miss - so jumped in the car and drove to the spot closest to the beach so I wouldn't miss it LOL<br />
2 weeks.. and I'm back into it! I have a mystery box to do.. and need to get back into my pub!! :)<br />

This is a pic taken from the bottom of my backyard.. our 'creek' is more of a river. It's stunning and so much wildlife! Every time I walk down there ducks come from everywhere, so they're obviously used to being fed. I am looking into what is 'good' for them.. rather than the usual 'bread' throwings ppl give.. it's not healthy! We also feed regularly a magpie family, a pair of butcher birds, and a pair of minah birds (sp?)</div>

We're finally completely OUT of the other house, but not unpacked in the new house. Got a week off to organise things a little.. then hopefully can get back into mini stuff! LOTS of inspiration in this house!<div>
I was at <a href="http://bunnings.com.au/" target="_blank">bunnings</a> the other day, one of my favorite hangouts, and ran into a colleage at work, we got talking and I was telling him about my shopping intentions, which led to dremel tools and the likes.. then miniatures.. when he broke in and told me he builds doll houses!! AWESOME!! He has invited me to go view his work, he builds from a picture! Recently he finished building himself a 20ft boat from timber which is now out on the bay and in full use - very very clever man!</div>
<div>
The new house has come with a few surprises, lots of possums, who thought it would be fun on our first night sleeping here - to attack the house in full force - I doubt they're happy we're here. We also have rats :( BUT, on the flipside, we back onto a creek which is full of wildlife, and it's SO peaceful sitting out on the deck watching the birds, and people walking on the track on the other side of the creek. </div>
<div>
The house, we think, is 'edwardian' SO much character. My bedroom used to be the kitchen, it's cozy and peaceful, sleeping sensationally! </div>
<div>
Just thought I'd update so ppl know I'm still around. Will post some pics of the new place once we make it a home.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back soon! </div>

My friend Sandra and I are working on 2 of the (around) $10 ebay kits.. they're a bit frustrating.. ie cakes and so on are made from paper & felt (which is crappy with glue!), but they're going to look ok! Here's some pics of around 8 - 10 hrs work :) LOL</div>

Found a nice place.. 3 bedrooms upstairs, bathroom for son and I.. lovely balcony.. workshop (think dremel).. dog welcome.. bird also welcome.. central.. public transport.. BEAUTIFUL backyard (needs work) that flows into a river/creek.. with boat access.. bird baths.. dreamy (in my mind).. and a flat (apartment) downstairs for my older one.. with his own bathroom/kitchen/laundry/bedroom/lounge etc..<br />
So..<br />
if I'm quiet.. I'm packing...and moving. :) SOOO happy to have found this place!! *I* think it's perfect!! Oh.. did I mention?? it's about 3minutes from the beach!!!<br />
:))))<br />
I have some changes to make.. new curtains, curtain rails (small windows - stretch them), and a new door on the workspace (it's awesome - powered and all).. and a bit of paint here and there :) But nothing major, the interior is perfect..<br />
New beginnings :))<br />

LOTS to do.. quite impressed considering the price! Will upload my finished project :) A little bit of cheap fun! It also includes lighting and a hurdy gurdy haha!!</div>

Not quite 1:12 scale I don't think.. well the 'room box' doesn't fit that criteria.. still - a fun and worthy project that might teach me a thing or two before I finish 'my' room.</div>

It was a LOT of fun!! Thanks Kez! Oh dear, from this angle it looks rather wonky! The bits on the table are supposed to be glasses.. one of them is broken. Perhaps could have done better there LOL - oh this pic is minus the outside trees. The tree inside the cup is made from wire and some tiny tiny ivy I bought from Toms favorite store he gets his goodies from. </div>

I can't say I've EVER seen anything that had me wanting to create one.. immediately.. until this morning! <a href="http://weewonder.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kez</a> sent me a link to a site with lots of tutorials linked to it.. and voila - I fell in love! Hahaha<br />
<br />
Here's the tutorial! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJrvc9OWT04" target="_blank">Penguin teapot</a><br />

The idea.. comes from this! My doorway was too tall, and too narrow, to fit any doors I have here - so I decided to try and make my own.</div>

So here it is so far - it's not good.. but it will fit, needs sanding and I can cover up any gaps with a little magic here and there ;-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll post the final product when it's done.. so far really I have only done the door and the frame for it, so obviously a long way to go!</div>

Time to get back to work on my mini stuff :) I have embarked on a rather daunting project for the day (or 2) - here are some things in use hehe!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hopefully I can post a finished product or 2 later on today...</div>

Managed to get a new machine from <a href="http://www.ebay.com/" target="_blank">eBay</a> (LOVE eBay) for half the shop price. Lucky for me, a lady had received one as a gift and didn't want it, the box was unopened! It's a brother NX200QE - oh dear.. *quilters edition*<br />

It has a few fancy stitches which I LOVE and have worked out how to use, but the *QE* bit in the name had me curious. I tried quilting by hand many MANY years ago, have lost that project, but though, perhaps I could make a simple cot quilt..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I bought this 'cheater panel' (I have since discovered this is what it's known as), batting, some backing and extra for a border - but I LIKE the border already around it! Oh well.. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet</div>
