I made a fresh batch of scarecrows for the autumn season. Who’s looking forward to Halloween?! (meeee!)
A few of these will be in my etsy shop when it reopens. I also have a few more in the works.

This past month, I made up some rising bread dough bowls using polymer clay. Today, I spent time making the kitchen towels used to cover them. In reality, the towel would cover them completely, but in mini, I let some of the dough peek out. Perhaps the baker is checking for readiness. One is for me, but the others will be in my etsy shop.

Whew! Long time since the last post. I’ve been reorganizing my house and crafting spaces, but I have also been making minis behind the scenes.
There was finally a mini show on! The Chicago Spring Showcase of Miniatures is on through Saturday, so you still have time to shop if you’re in the Chicagoland area. It was great to see people I haven’t seen since 2019! The time does fly by. Now, on to the goodies!
