Sampler....

I bought this gorgeous little printed sampler at SIMP last year....and finally yesterday I made a frame for it. I love the detail of the sampler and I think it would make a very pretty addition to any miniature room
.
For those of you who very kindly ask about the 'next house'.....well what can I say?? I have the house (box) built and I have had the design drawn for the shop front...(yes, there is to be a shop)...for well over 2 years now, but sadly nothing more!! My iPad is full of photos I use for inspiration and I have collected many many miniatures, but none-the-less it all sat idle. BUT...this week as if by magic (or was that Catherine constantly willing me on?) I have started the shop and thoroughly enjoyed every mitre cut I made. The shop front is now finished...but not painted...and I am thrilled with it and happy to say that my enthusiasm has returned!! I am not to sure as to when I will show my progress....but I am happy to say that (finally) there is progress!!!

Well that is wonderful news!!

I can imagine after all the time and care you put into the "Petite Maison" it is hard to think of starting all over again. I am so pleased to hear you have begun, and with lots of enthusiasm, the shop is a wonderful idea and I'm sure we will all be delighted to see your wonderful style come to life in this new project.

Happy Australia Day!!

The sampler is really beautiful. I'm glad to read that you have worked on the new dollhouse. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress. I know very well how long it can take to build a dollhouse. There isn't only the building but the thinking about it.

I love the sampler -- it's so delicate and pretty. And I can't wait to see your next project! I follow your work with such admiration and interest :)

Linda, I think we should wait for the right time, because the ideas and inspiration ripen within us as the caterpillar in a cocoon, and when they bloom, they are beautiful butterflies :-)
I sensed that it was a shop and now I'm curious like a monkey!
So, lets go :-)
Mini lovely hugs,
Flora
