It's just life...

 There has been so much drama and stress and all kinds of worries in my life that I just haven't had any mood for making miniatures..

The last straw was when I had to withdraw my Christmas-swap for this year :`(

My hubby tried to cheer me up by giving me this room box as a give little over month ago..

Haven't done anything with it - yet..
Well - I have decided to make it my Bunny room where I'll be putting all the bunny miniatures I'll make or collect over the time..
I'm going to make Bunny themed foods, furniture and so on and so on, what ever comes in my mind - I just need to decide whether it will be a kitchen or a living room.. 
I want to make few books there, some jars, bowls and other dishes and of course some paintings on the walls too..
And all the furniture - they must either be in bunny shape or have bunny themed paintings on them..
I don't think I'll find any fabrics around - so I need to figure out how make them - there are curtains and pillows on my list to make - so I guess I'll be learning how to x-stitch in this scale..

I'm still working on ideas, but mainly it just trying to get  through from day to day - I don't have my heart on this so far.. Just swirling the thoughts in my head, nothing else

Even a winning from Hurahduskadun Talot blog didn't bring me long-term pleasure - even that the prize was so wonderful

Should I uncork the bottle ..?

Kiitos Raija! Kirjoille on kova kysyntä joten niille on heti paikat tiedossa - kello taitaa päästä niiden kanssa samaan paikkaan. Pullo on tosi heino!!

.. But I  blame it for the fact, that we had our worst Halloween seasons rush when it came - and I was already ill at that time ..damn flu struck its claws in me - I've been coughing my lungs out now for at least one and a half weeks..

I literally cried when I had to cancel my swap - but sometimes things just go on the their way without you been able to do anything about them - I guess that's life, but I couldn't help it to get me so  depressed that I haven't much touches my miniatures making materials ever since...
  It literally took away my Christmas - we got a bill for taxes so we can't afford to buy presents this year - so I'm trying to focus on making good food and getting the house as pretty as I can with the time I have cause I don't have many days off in December to make preparations..
And this will be a last Christmas when any of our kids is living home with us..

Well... I'm just blue - I'll get over it.. Being ill with this much stress and worries just isn't a very good combination *grin*

As the song says; "The only way is up..." ...eventually... any day...  See you..

Uusi aarre - - - Something new to treasure

Inventaario hässäkän keskeltä viimeinkin ehtii täällä piipahtaa :)
In the middle of our inventory fuss I finally have time to pop in here :)

Minulla oli uskomaton onni voittaa  Pepperin blogin arvonnassa uskomattoman ihana palkinto.
I had the incredible good fortune to win in the draw at Pepper's blog an  incredibly wonderful prize.

Tässä on ihana voitoni (^^)
Here is my wonderful winnings (^^)

Tässä salaman kanssa kuvattuna (Pepperin blogissa huomattavasti parempia kuvia)
Here photographed with a flash (Pepper has on her blog way better pictures)

Ja tässä ilman salamaa...   - - -  And here without the flash...

Laitoin taakse mini taskulampun kuvauksen ajaksi, että "tuli" näkyisi :)
I put behind it a mini flashlight for filming so that the "fire" would appear :)

Minulla ei aiemmin ollut yhtään takkaa Sinistä taloa varten ja asiaa moneen kertaan tuskailinkin..
Ja nyt minulla on tällainen aarre! (**)

Enää pitää vain päättää, mihin huoneeseen sen sijoitan - luultavasti työ- tai makuuhuoneeseen.. mutta aika näyttää :)

I previously didn't have any fireplaces for the Blue House and I have agonized the matter several times in the past  ..
And now I have such a treasure! (**)

Now I  just longer need to decide in which  room shall I place it  - probably the work or the bedroom.. but time will tell :)

Thank you so, so much dear Pepper!!
I could thank you a zillion times, and it still wouldn't be enough :)
I LOVE it! - It couldn't be more perfect as it is. I shall treasure it.
And Lily-Luna is over the moon cause it's coming in her house - she loves it too :)
She's already starting to make me a list about things she wants me to make to put on it  (she doesn't obviously always remember that she's a witch so she could easily make them herself as the time comes, but we'll see..)

Olenko koskaan maininnut, että taidan olla "hieman" Pinterest riippuvianen..?? *virn*
Have I ever mentioned that I think I'll have a "little" depends on Pinterest .. ?? *grin*
