Insomnia and House of Miniatures

For the past two days, I've been unable to sleep.  Insomnia has taken over.  So, after surfing the internet for hours, I stopped by my favorite blog spot, Otterine Blog (Brae's spot).  I can spend hours on her miniature blog, as well as her sewing and photography pages.  This woman brings a whole new meaning to the word "talent."  She inspires me to do new things and to challenge myself with making my own mini projects. 

I had a ton of House of Miniature kits that were given to me a few years ago.  I never attempted to put any of them together because I just didn't think I could do it.  Ha!  How true is it that when you put God first, pray about it, He will make sure you win, win, WIN!

I put together 5 kits (a dresser, 2 side tables, 2 chairs, a hutch, and a nightstand) and could still do a few more before the sun comes up.  I started on a 6th one, only to realize it was missing too  many pieces.  Not getting discouraged, I turned that kit into different items to decorate the Thornhill (i.e., shelving units)!  No loss of parts-turned them into something useful.

Here's a sample of what I got done tonight, to include the two chairs I am most proud of.  I still need to find jewelry findings to complete the hardware on the dresser, side table, and hutch.

Be blessed and enjoy the day.
