Christmas (So Far) at the Lavender Cottage


 Some Christmas decor at the Lavender Cottage!

Did a bit of decorating in the  Lavender CottageI like how the tree fits in the attic. This is the tree from last year's MiniVerse Christmas balls. (Click photos for full size.)

Update: I added more stuff to the outside. That's more like it! I thought the new light poles were cute and fit perfect. (Found them at Menards.) I'll add my other smaller santa later.


I didn't add a real lot. I may put a different mat under this tree. A fresh-baked cake and some salad are on the counter. Dinner is underway! I'll add presents later when Santa arrives. I like an overflowing tree. Will add more as the season has just begun!

In the meantime, I've been making and collecting some things for the annual exchange and advent calendar with my miniatures friend Gigi. Can't show anything yet!

Lots to figure, but so fun! When we meet the first Wednesday next month, we'll update our Christmas Campground a bit, not too much!, have desserts, open several days of the calendar to get on track, and then we take it home to open each day. So glad we started this last year! See a few of the previous year here. And yes, it's near my birthday too.  A big one. Nope not telling. haaa!

Did a little bit on the outside, but I think it needs more. Muche better - Fixed! See above this photo. Have to add the Santa and sleigh on the roof yet, too. Little by little. ha!

Next: I also have to set up my Christmas scene roombox. 

Making progress on The Witch's Bakery. A couple things to do before I show the latest. Also got the front of the other building (possibly the second floor) painted. More to come on that, too.

It's almost year's end, so time to figure out what projects I'll be working on or are underway.

After? It'll take a while on those two, but I might start the 1/24 scale Garage and there are also  book nooks to do.

There's always something to work on, which is good. It's a loooong, boring winter!
