Edeltraud sent us pictures of her paper pottery.
Julie sent me this picture of her baskets that she made using the basket tutorial. She said they became addicting because they were fun to make, I agree. It's a beautiful handful, Good Job.
Chris sent me a picture of her kitchen stool. She's working on a red kitchen and this fits right in, don't you think? Good Job.
Look at that pink fridge!! This is what you can do when you make your own miniatures. Thanks Ruthie for sending us the picture. Good Job.
Chris sent me a picture of her canister set. She shared this with another miniaturist and they made them together. That's the best fun to have, isn't it?!!! Good Job.
Julie sent me picture of her chairs she make with the blog's tutorial. She reduced the patterns and make a child's chair. The little chair could be half scale, what do you think? Good Job.
Look at this arrangement Julie made. She changed the shape of the pattern and made an entirely different set of furniture! Julie used the lamp shade tutorial for her floor lamps. She didn't turn the lamp bases from wood, no, she used paper wrapped dowels to create these! Good Job.
I know I don't have a chandelier tutorial on the blog! Julie used what she has learned to create this beautiful piece, it's wrapped paper and fish hooks! Good Job.
Susi sent us a picture of the newest tutorial, faux buttons. Good Job.
Ruthie has dedicated a whole shelf to her finished tutorials!! I love all the wonderful work she has done, don't you? Good Job.
Gulay sent a new picture of a cabinet she made using mat board. She has modified the Kitchen Dresser tutorial to fit her needs and I think she made a very nice cabinet. Don't you love all of the "china" she has inside? Good Job.
Ruthie sent us a couple of pictures of furniture she has made using the tutorial. The first is a pretty living room set. She made a sofa using the Upholstering a 1 inch scale chair tutorial. She's even got the Cathedral Radio on the mantle. Good Job.
Ruthie sent us a picture of her Shabby Chic bed. I like the pink netting above, don't you? Good Job.
Eric has been away from miniatures for a while. His mom collects miniatures and he wanted to add to her collection. He found the blog and went to town creating a living room set for her. He used the chair tutorial and from that he made the sofa and ottoman. I would like to add that he built the Mission Style wood furniture from scratch, from full size measurements. Good Job, and I hope you keep making minis.
Mariza used the bench tutorial to make this beautiful scene. I like the added texture on the front of the bench and the table, don't you? The bolster pillows are a nice touch, too. Good Job.
Gulay also sent a picture of a sofa she made, again this is not on the blog but she used what she learned and made this beautiful sofa. Good Job.
These are some new chairs that Gulay has made. No, I don't have a tutorial on these. I am beginning to get pictures of things that miniaturists make from Expanding on the tutorials. I love getting these pictures and I want to share them with you. Good Job, Gulay.
Dale sent me a picture of his bed and the mattress he made from the No-Sew Mattress tutorial. The bed is a beauty, isn't it! Good Job.
I know there is no tutorial for this tub, but Roberta sent me this picture of her tub that she made after seeing the full-size tub on line. I thought she did such a wonderful job of converting that I had to put it up to show what can be done with card stock and paint. Good Job.
Krista is new to the miniature world and bought herself a dollhouse this Christmas. She has started making things for it and the first thing was the Shabby Chic bed and mattress. Good Job.
This is Roberta's kitchen, I love the A&P bag! Good Job.
Roberta sent me a picture of the stove she made for her kitchen. Good Job.
This is more of Gulay's beautiful work. Good Job.
Gulay just keeps expanding on what she's learned doesn't she? Good Job.
Susann used what she has learned from blog tutorials and put it to use. She saw a chair on the net and made it! That's what I mean, expand on it, make it better. Good Job.
Karen has taken to the idea of using mat board very well as shown in these pictures of a sink and stove. Good Job.
Karen is re-doing her grandmother's dollhouse, it's over a 100 years old. She "stretched" the occasional table pattern to make the coffee table and used the upholstered chair pattern to make the sofa. Good Job.
Debbie made this from "Floral Arrangement" tutorial. I copied this from a full-size arrangement my husband gave me. Debbie wrote that she was a floral designer and actually made these in full-size! Good Job.
Debbie sent pictures of her version of "How to make a faucet planter and daisies" tutorial. Perfect for the patio. Good Job.
Debbie sent her picture of the baskets she made from the tutorial using crochet thread to make a basket. These are adorable! Good Job.
Alex used the kitchen dresser tutorial to make this. He made his out of wood. Good Job.
Gulay sent me a picture of a sofa she made. I know I don't have a particular tutorial on this but it looks like she expanded on the bench tutorial. Good Job.

| Susann sent pictures of the occasional table tutorial. She modified it into a dressing table and she and 3 other miniaturists made these wonderful room boxes. That's what I am talking about when I say "Have fun, Expand on it, Make it Better, Just keep making minis!! Good Job. |
 |
| Heather sent pictures of her mattresses she made from the Shabby Chic and No-Sew Mattress tutorial. Good Job. |
 |
| Here is another of Heather's mattresses. She mentioned she had trouble using poly-cotton, I don't recommend poly-cottons for upholstery, they are more difficult to use. 100% cottons are the easiest to use. Good Job. |
