An Unknown Maker
I do not know who made this table, but I just found a lil wood chip and recognized it as the missing leg! Today is an unknown maker day for #summerminifun with @vintagedollhouseshop (and I guess it’s also leg day over here). I’ll bet someone out there has seen these gams before; do you know… Continue reading An Unknown Maker

My First Made Dolls
My babes. 🐷 🐈⬛ There was also a third bird doll who didn’t make it. Rest in pieces, Henrietta. 🐦 👻 I don’t remember exactly when I made these dolls; somewhere in between high school and Humboldt. That’s a good gap of time so my best guess is a range from 2006-2011. They have been… Continue reading My First Made Dolls
It’s in Hand
Day 13- It’s in Hand I once worked with an archaeologist who had an one-inch ruler tattooed on one finger, and a centimeter scale on another. Just in case they found something to photograph. We don’t always collect what we find, so that scale comes in handy later. Many minis in hand today for day… Continue reading It’s in Hand
