More Miniature Listings






Been working on some new bits & pieces. Had something weird happen today, was using some Liquid Polymer Clay to make Marmalade! Put it in the oven and it expanded right out of the top of the jar. Never had that happen before, just cut it off with a blade while it was still warm.
Been doing my listings on Ebay today. Took ages yesterday taking photos, for some reason couldn't get the light quite right. Still at least their done now.
Harry rang this morning to say that Nicky was picking Tom up from their sleep over at Alex's and she would bring him home, he turned up said can I go back with Nicky I said ok and off he went again. We've only just picked him up.
Ben's been helping Mick this morning to sort out his tools, so they can get the workshop sorted, its looked like a bombs hit it in there since we've been here. Ben's moved everything out into my horse trailer so they can put the old kitchen units in there. We might be able to find everything then...
Really want to get started on my Diagon Alley Street scene its been sitting in our bedroom waiting to be filled up again. Want it moved downstairs into the lounge. Harry helped me fill all the little jars for the Apothecary. But when we moved I cleared everything out to pack it. Got to try and find the boxes, think there in the barn, amongst the many hundreds...
Mick's Dad rang us this morning to say that Mick's Nan is not getting any better and to expect the worst in the next few days. Not very nice news..

Miniatures



Well as you can see from the previous postings this morning I was playing silly buggers on the computer!


Just sorting out what I'm going to list on Ebay this week, got a couple of new bits that I haven't listed before & some that I have. Got to take the pictures now and sort out the best ones for the listings. I don't think people realise how long it takes to list everything. I take a photo first, then upload to the computer, go onto Ebay, write the description, upload picture, check postage etc etc then list. I never use a previous photo for a listing as you can guarantee the customer will notice the slight difference, nothing is ever completely the same being that their handmade, so the one they bid on is the one that they get. The picture of the Chocolates are what I made ages ago, before we moved to Wales, not sure whether to put them on Ebay or not. Chocolate's are pretty simple to make, it the boxes that take ages. I might make some trays of chocolate's all different ones, oh dear! my mouth is watering just thinking about them.
Ben's gone out with his friends again today to Carmarthen & Harry is going to a Birthday party this afternoon and then sleeping over. So it will be all quiet on the Western front this afternoon......

What Makes You A Good Friend?

***You Are a Good Friend Because You're Supportive***


You are almost like a life coach for your best friends.
You give them help when they need it... but you also know when to give them a push.

People tend to rely on you for moral support and advice.
You've probably always been mature for your age, so this is a role that's you're comfortable with.

A friend like you is one of the rarest kinds.
You are both a good mentor and companion.

Your friends need you most when: They are confused or worried

You really can't be friends with: Someone who only wants to complain

Your friendship quote: "The only way to have a friend is to be one."

What Colour Crayon Are You

***You Are a Blue Crayon***


Your world is colored in calm, understated, deep colors.
You are a loyal person, and the truest friend anyone could hope to find.
On the inside, you tend to be emotional and even a bit moody.
However, you know that people depend on you. So you put on a strong front.

Your color wheel opposite is orange. Orange people may be opinionated, but you feel they lack the depth to truly understand what they're saying.

You are not only a good person... you are a model citizen and a natural leader.

You don't take ethical short cuts in life. You are able to do what's right - even when it's very difficult.
And while it may seem like no one else is as on track as you are, take heart in knowing that you set a good example for others.

You are also probably: Very sensitive and in tune with the world

Right now you are on track to being: A saint

To be a better person: Gently mentor someone who is taking the wrong path in life
