Fire ready

Well my witch has her fire. So she can now use her fireplace.

You can't see it in the pictures but it realy flickers, looks so cozy!

Also painted the floor as you can see. Yes, there's some progress ;-)
Mandolyn (my witch) can be content.

Witch moved in

Today my Witch moved into her witch house.
She arrived in a very good mood...

even had some fresh picked mushrooms with her,
that she wanted to cook for diner.

But that all changed as soon as she entered the door...

What??? How can I live here? It's not finished, it's empty!

Where can I sleep, where do I brew my potions and prepare my ointments?

Where do I leave all my stuff and my plants that arrive next week?

No, she was not pleased!!!
I'm afraid I got myself a very demanding witch.
Well, perhaps that's a good thing, maybe I need some one to push me every now and then to finish something, in this case; a witch house.
She told me that she wanted a fire first thing, because a witch needs her fire to brew stuff, so I'm off to go make a fire now;-)

Bean stew

After the creepy eyeball stews, I wanted to make something more tasteful ;-)
So I made these delicious bean stews. Mmm...you can almost smell them.

Witches stew

Yesterday I made two cauldrons from polymer clay and filled them with a creepy witches brew of tiny bones, eyeballs and...well...you don't wanna know what else ;-)

And today I'm working on a witchdoll. My witchhouse has been standing empty and still unfinished, but I bought a (very cheap) witch doll and I'm transforming her today so that she's ready to move into my witch house.

As I wrote in the previous post, I made a miniature for my sisters birthday.
She is the sister who makes very beautiful cake's for every family occasion that we have. So I made her this:

Cupcake board

I've been working on a present for my sister, we celebrate her birthday tomorrow, so I can't show it yet, but when I was at it, I also made this lovely cupcakeboard for my etsy shop. It will be listed this evening. And I'll show you what I made for my sister next week;-)

Dragon table

Remember the sneek peak a little while ago?

Well I finished what I was working on.
It's a Dragon scene table, with all kinds of dragon collectables, including a dragon skull that I made from polymer clay. Lots of books, a land map, a tiny pouch with dragon teeth, etc, and... a real baby dragon in a cage. I made it to sell, although i'll probably have trouble parting with it
if it's sold;-) Here are some pictures of the table:

100 followers: Give-Away !!!

I'm back again and the surgery on my hand went well as far as we can judge now. Don't have a lot of pain, so thats a good sign I think;-)
Thank you all so much for your encouraging words and cards!

And now......I have a 100 followers!!!
How great is that! When I started this blog only 7 months ago, I could never have thought that so many people whom I don't even know in person, would like my miniatures enough to follow my blog. I want to thank you all for that! And that's why...

I'm having a Give-Away!!!!

And here are the 'rules':
1) You must leave a comment under this blog telling me what you would like to win, either something Easter-themed or something Witchy.

Ha...and thats it;-)
I will draw a name on april 1st (no joke;-)
When you are one of my 100 followers your name will be put in twice for the draw. When you become a follower now, you have one chance.
(I would like it when you post about my give-away on your own blog,
but it is not a requirement to enter my give-away.)

to you all.

A Little break

Just a short note to say that I won't be here for a couple of days.
I need to have another surgery on my right hand.
I'm still in pain every day and can't close my hand, so now by removing the tiny plate that was put in before, the docters hope that it will get better. Well I hope so too;-)
But that means no mini's for at least a week or two. I hope to see I have reached a hundred followers when I get back and will be able to start again with a nice give-away;-)

Update on the floor

Finished the floor today. Well...the cutting and pasting part;-)

Now I 'only' have to paint, age, and dirty it.

This is how the house looks so far:

No more delay

A few months ago, I started to work on a witch house,
as you can read in a previous post.
Since then I've made a ton of witchy miniatures for it and even some furniture, but didn't do very much on the house itself.
I'm (a bit of;-) a perfectionist and the picture in my head of how something should look, is always far better then I can make my projects to look in reality, so I've delayed and delayed starting to work on the house,
beïng afraid to ruin it.
But now I really need shelves, walls and floors to put things on, so...
No more delay...I started with the floor;

On the right there will be a pottery section, so a 'stone' floor is put in, the left side of the house will become the living area and will get a woodboard floor. Will do that next.

Also I want to welcome two more followers:
Peikko from Pienet Maailmat and La Belle Cuisine.
Getting real close to a hundred now;-)
