summertime

Summer is on it's way and with it hopefully also long warm nights in the garden or on the balcony. Unfortunately musquito's love it too.. To keep those nasty buggers away I've made a can with a citronellacandle (with real citronellawax and wick).

once upon a time ...

... a girl wanted to build a dollshouse. I've had been interested in miniatures quite some time and had made a 1 or 2 (not very good) items, but due to circumstances never really started. In 2006 I did design a house that I plan to make one day:

it's going to be a big house with a little different way of viewing the rooms than ususal. And I'll be making as much by myself as I think is possible and getting a realistic as possible result as well.

not being able to built this house in the foreseeable future, I decided to start with something small and simple: an antique/oldstuff store: The Oldtique Store. The concept of such a store is not very original I know, but I really like(d) the idea, want to make it and then originality is of minor importance. But like most I think of it couldn't stay simple or small....

welcome!

Welcome at Fabulously Small! Not trying to be pretentious here, just really liked the name when I came up with it and hopefully one day do the name some justice ;) . I started this blog to be able to organize my progress and development in making miniatures and also to share my work with anyone interested. Like everyone with this fantastic hobby I'm full of countless plans and ideas, I'd need at least 300 years - probably way more - to be able to realise all of them. But like everything in life, I'll have to make (difficult) choices and do what I do a step at a time, 1:12th step at a time in this case.. ;)

Due to circumstances - although having all the time in the world - I'm unfortunately only able to do (very) little not very often. But... if you have some patience, there will be things to see and I hope you like them.
