1/12 Shabby Chic Pumpkins

Playing with Sculpey today, I thought some pastel colored pumpkins might be fun for a little elf doll or a magical garden scene. I knew that old grapevine on the back porch would come in handy some day, since it no longer produces grapes. Love how the curly stems turned out.



Just listed in the shop, five sets only.

Happy Halloween!



Fairyland Pukifee Icis is on model duty today. They don't show but she has the cutest little elf ears <3

New Shoes

Just a quick look in to say howdy do. I am having sneaky peeks at the Halloween updates on some of your blogs.

Still busy a bit with the new schedule. Paying off some old bills and building a big sleep debt instead. This week I get to work two night shifts which. will. be. awesome. Can you feel the enthusiasm.

Being here in a flyover state, we've got lots of corn all around. It's mostly animal feed corn & soy around here. They are starting to get ready for harvest and the combines are beginning to appear at the edges of fields. Keep meaning to grab the camera and snap a pic for you. Perhaps today, we've got a bit of a warm sunny week.

Not much to report. I did buy some shoes. Not really a shoe person so, for me, buying two pairs is kind of an event. I have winter boots, summer flip flops, and Birkenstocks for the times in between. I wanted Uggs for a long time and treated myself to some in 2006, after beginning my miniature business on eBay. A treat to me, if you will. Then that Fall we moved to NY and I took little one out trick-or-treating on a cold, wet Halloween. Uggs got all wet and I left them on the heating register overnight to dry off. Yes, they melted. Melted the soles and warped them both. So, new job...new Uggs. I got these nifty little gray "Cardy" Uggs like Anna wears in the show Being Human (I love her whole outfit, actually. She is a ghost so she only got to wear one outfit for the entire series.)



And then I got myself a spunky little pair of indigo blue Chucks that are slip-ons with elastic-no tiresome shoelaces. Hubs and the teenager wear Chucks so that's just me jumping on the bandwagon.

Next up in Jemjoopland we'll be decorating the house for Halloween and taking the kidlets out to corn mazes and the pumpkin farm.

It's all glamour here now, posting about shoes. Sorry about that, I promise to try and get a life soon! :O)

Halloween Spooky Witch Dresser

Yes, it's still June. It's probably the nature of miniatures to think ahead in terms of holidays and I've got Halloween on the brain for the last couple of weeks. I had great plans for Halloween miniatures last year in the run up to Autumn & Christmas. We had just gotten a hard-won Dolls & Miniatures category at Etsy and all systems were go. But best laid plans and all that. I ended up on bedrest for little Olly and made very little for either holiday. I'm going to make all that great stuff for this year instead.

In the meantime, this 1/12 Spooky Witch Dresser (sold on ebay) was a real hoot to make back in 2006. There were all sorts of goodies crammed in every which way on shelves and behind doors. Witchy poo's stripey socks have been washed and hung up to dry, and she's got a permanent lager tap in one of her cupboards. Burp! Her multi-colored spellmaking candles line the shelves and she's baked a cake full of eye of newt. There is a skeletal hand holding a poisoned apple, jam jars filled with all manner of things you shouldn't be preserving, and behind one of those cupboard doors is actually the mummified remains of a postman skeleton still dressed in all his finery and clutching his little leather bag. We never did find out what he did to make her so cross. Enjoy! :O)
