Despite the weather being a huge wanker, the miniature pastries I ordered online arrived without delay. And the lovely seller placed some sets inside tiny glass jars. I was too excited to play with them that I bumped my knee against the corner of the bed frame. Which, of course, led to a “So THAT is how I get bruises on my knees!” As I type this, the knee I bumped is turning an ugly side of purple while the bruise on my other knee has become barely noticeable.

But back to the miniature goodies…

Of course, I had to use the jars to store coffee beans (whole and slightly crushed):

Inspired, I made hanging lamps for the miniature cafe:

These are large filigree caps glued together and skewered with eye pins. These were attached together using wood glue because, I am not ashamed to admit, I am still completely enamored with wood glue.

If it weren’t for the internet connection acting up, I wouldn’t have been able to experience a real weekend. You know, the kind that involves dates and “time” for a hobby. The kind that freelancers forget after about a year of working from home.

 Saturday – Coffee/Work Date 1

CRAFTED: none / THRIFTED: levi's denim shirt / GIFTED: dress

Sunday – Coffee Date 2

Saturday and Sunday Afternoons – Dollhouse painting and wallpapering

*I am very proud of my Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland wallpaper. I have gotten the hang of using Photoshop brushes and made this wallpaper myself. It’s delightful, if I do say so myself. 

**Also, wood stain is the shiznit.
