Club Meeting Makes

Hi All. First of all I have to apologise to my two giveaway winners. I had an opportunity to attend a miniature club meeting an hour away from where I live last weekend so I didn't get around to making the items to send to you. I will therefore be making them this weekend and will get them posted to you during the week after they have dried properly.
 
I don't usually attend the miniature meeting because I can't justify the travel cost but my daughter had a dance workshop to attend in the same city last weekend so I got my husband to get her to the workshop and take her shopping while I spent four hours with fellow miniaturists. It was only a small gathering of six people as it was Mother's Day in New Zealand so some people had other plans with family. My daughter Jamie paid the cost of the workshop for my Mothers' Day present. It was just a little workshop of a petticoat table and a little photograph album. After I got home I 'toadised' my table for Toad Stall by painting it green and adding a few bits and pieces. I want to find some little seed caps or something similar for little cups. 

The table is set with a jar of Tiberius T. Toad's Honey and Swamp Water Ale and some mushroom bread with toadstool stalk topping.

Then Tibs made some platters from dried pumpkin skins (made from polymer clay). I see a snail is trying to find a way into the ale.
 
 
This is the little paper photo album we made:



Well that is all for now from Myrtle Manor Miniatures and Toad Stall. I have to get making some planter pots. I have to get my daughter to another dance class this afternoon too so I'd better get cracking while I have the chance.
 

I hope you are all having a great weekend.

  6. It's always so much fun to see your newest additions to Tibs' gorgeous stall - I love the swamp ale with the bread snack... you're so full of wonderful ideas. And what a fun thing that you could attend a miniaturist's meeting... and what a darling daughter you have! ;O) Don't worry about the giveaway price - as I already told you... take all the time you need.

    Hugs

  12. How wonderful from Jamie to pay the costs of this workshop. My son ignores the mothers day completly, like every year... but my step-son bought me flowerss and my step-daughter baked a cake for me.
    You´ve made great miniatures again. It´s always a bundle of joy to see your project grow. I´m sure Tib is over the moon with his new home
    Hugs
