I love making mini doll dresses. This would be a fun way to fill a wardrobe - and can probably be tried with fabric, too, I bet. Great Idea! Definitely getting this one!

Lizzie Borden, #Zombie Hunter Mini Printies!
You know I also write fiction and just revealed the full cover for my upcoming book,
Lizzie Borden, #Zombie Hunter! (Coming out Sept. 13!)
So, see below! Whatdya think? I think it's pretty cool!
I'm reading the PDF proof now for the last corrections!
So, for my dollhouse friends, here's a mini cover for your dollhouse too!
(Personal use only, please!)
Every family has its secrets…
One hot August morning in 1892, Lizzie Borden picked up an axe and murdered her father and stepmother. Newspapers claim she did it for the oldest of reasons: family conflicts, jealousy and greed. But what if her parents were already dead? What if Lizzie slaughtered them because they’d become zombies?
Thrust into a horrific world where the walking dead are part of a shocking conspiracy to infect not only Fall River, Massachusetts, but also the world beyond, Lizzie battles to protect her sister, Emma, and her hometown from nightmarish ghouls and the evil forces controlling them.

New Half Scale Dollhouse Shed Kit!
Shellie from MiniEtchers (my fave new shop btw!) has a new kit coming out!
I asked about a half scale lean-to shed kit and she made one up! I tested it out and wanted to report it goes together great, and turns out really well! I added some touches like the strips inside over the plastic windows (bought a package of Shrinky Dink plastic sheets) that I put in. I also added posts in the back since I built it with the sides butted to the outer front edges instead of to the inner back. (Yes, making more work for myself, as is always the case, of course! ha!) The kit is about 5 3/4" wide, 5 1/4" deep and about 5 1/4" high at the back tallest point.
Fun little kit. I'm going to make a bench and add flower pots yet. Will share more pix as I progress... (I may change the doorknob... couldn't find the half scale size knobs...) Don't you love the yellow door?
(And... just got the 1/24th artist set pieces, too... Maybe the owner will do some painting and planting out here....)
(I also have a bunch of her other kits like the Cottage Kitchen and beach pieces I'm saving for the Half Scale Beach cottage... see link about that. Be sure to check out her cool kitchen pieces and the Eastlake furniture set. Very different!)

Half Scale Miniature Dollhouse Bed
Something in the works...
I'd made a set like this a while ago in 1" scale so I wanted to try making one in half - 1/24 scale for my Half Scale haunted house. (In the planning; I've been making/saving stuff a while for it.) The bed itself is cut from picture framing mat board.
So far... not much yet, but stay tuned...

Latest Flea Market Miniature Finds
The flea market is once again open and in two weeks I've had some great finds.
Last week found this dollhouse kit - $5.
This week - found a nearly done roombox with the furniture. $7. Am going to take that rope off and put wood up for the chair rails. But nice floor and outside finish. The front plexiglass slips into the slot from the top. Happy happy!
