I got back from a wonderful holiday in Crete recently, where we visited archeological sites, snorkeled, ate dinner on the seafront and relaxed in the sun's soporific rays.

Now back to the harsh reality of aUK summer, rain, wind and the heating on in June! Since I have been back I have been very busy in my mini making room. Here are some of the items.

Here in London in the UK we are having unseasonally warm days roughly 18 degrees centigrade. I have unfortunately, abandoned all mini work and embraced the garden. Well being England one is never quite sure how long the sunshine will last! The bad news is it will all be over by Saturday.
Here is a sample of some of the miniatures I have finished.

Accident Prone

This week while doing a good deed, tidying my lazy son's bedroom (hes 19 years old), I managed to break my glasses. I was so hot I pulled off my sweater in a rush and a lens snapped. Being left with only an old pair of less than flattering glasses I quickly mailed off the broken glasses to be repaired. Well, to my horror I have just received an email saying the company I sent the broken glasses to has no record of them or of ever stocking those frames. In my hurry to return them I posted them to the wrong company. I feel such a fool!
What with dropping my personal D.A.B. radio in the bucket of water last week, while doing some Spring cleaning for my Mum. I dread to think what else I may break in my quest to be helpful.
Here are a few items ready for Easter.

Idiot that I am- I managed to superglue my right thumb and index finger together while making my current offering of minis. Sat there wondering what to do for a few seconds then cut them apart with the scalpel. Alls well that ends well LOL.

My Mother does not have a partner so yesterday she bought herself a large box of chocolates and thoroughly enjoyed the lot. As for myself I will be eating a generous helping of Strawberry Gateau, my favourite cake.

Last week my son had the first sitting for his first tattoo. I was a little surprised it was so big, but its well done and as long as he doesn't get addicted to tattoos all will be good.

I have been very busy this month with commissions and have not had enough time to experiment with new techniques, but here are a few things I managed to put together.
