tutorial of working Roman blinds - it's much easier than you think!

how about some working Roman blinds in your roombox, house or whatever project?

don't worry, it's much easier than a quick look at all the steps might suggest. And yes, I'm talking about working Roman blinds, they are very easy, just trust me ;) Don't believe me? Oh well, then you go on and grab all the needed stuff, make them and see for yourself ! It's fine with me for you to admit I was right when you're done :D

windowscene with a fun detail

hi there again my dear minifriends, I hope you are doing well. I've got some positive news (I'm now confident it's not just an occasional-upswing): I'm doing better finally! Some treatments I started, one months ago, another one last week, are definitely kicking in. Meaning I've - mostly - got more (muscle)strength, air (!) and energy and I feel a little bit human again! And so I've put another little scene together the past week, just because I could :D. This time using my mdf-corner with the window in the windowopening it came with (I've always just stuck a 'wallpaper' and fireplace in front of it ;). Nope, unfortunately not my view (although mine is great too!), just a printed one, nice hey?

"Grapenilla Exotica"

hi guys, thank you so só much for the very kind and warm comments on my last post. That had been difficult and a bit scary for me to publish: you're the best!

for now a mini plant kind-a-thing not resembling any type I know. After I'd eaten some grapes, I was looking at the now empty branches and they looked like parts of some sort of - unknown - exotic plant to me. And so I decided it would be that and I call it 'Grapenilla Exotica', get it, get it? :D

tutorial real writing pencil

Hi y'all, just like to mention a tutorial that has been in my Tutorial, Tips & Trics II section since February and maybe you like. And maybe gives you a nice reason to go into the summery outdoors to find the key-ingredient if you like having a goal. Or you might find it in an old stash of dried flowers like I did. Anyway, if you like it, enjoy making it!

tutorial imaged metal signs

hi again, hope you've had nice holidays and I wish everyone what you wish/need for 2013 and of course lot's of inspiration and fun mini-ing!

I'd like to start this year with a tutorial of how to make the metal plates as shown in my Give-Away. As I promised Jo, from Jo Mini in a reply to her comment, so here it is!

the sign in the front appeared rusted once it had dried up, probably because the surface of the sodacanmetal was tarnished from the fire, it started rusting that easy and fast in the short time of being in contact with water after applying the decal. I love the natural feel of it, would be impossible (for me) to mimic like that
