1/24th Scale 'Crabshell Cottage'

This is 'Crabshell Cottage', a new 1/24th scale house just completed and on ebay right now (seller name juliefben). If you look closely you will be able to see a couple of Marianne Cook's fantastic potted plants (on the doorstep and the windowsill) They are just gorgeous - Marianne is so clever! I wish I had her patience!!

A Blue Beach Hut - 1/12th Scale

After two days of rain and wind here is a new 1/12th scale beach hut to help us think about holidays, sunshine and the seaside. A little shabby from years of use this hut is looking for a new home and a new family to move in and enjoy their holidays. It's on ebay right now (ebay seller name juliefben).

1/24th Scale 'Flotsam Cottage'

This is 'Flotsam Cottage', a one up and one down 24th scale house recently completed. The colour doesn't come up very well on the photo but it's my new favourite 'Mellow Sage'. It's sort of a greeny grey and very suitable for a seaside house. I'm just finishing the partner to this little house - 'Jetsam Cottage'. Photo tomorrow hopefully.

1/12th Scale Shop - Ideal for Small Spaces!

I bought a lovely single storey shop unit from Bob Willans (Tollgate Miniatures) at Miniatura in the Spring but it sat on a shelf untouched. I added a second storey and a small roof, gave it all a textured plaster finish and then used my favourite blue for the woodwork. I think this little shop would be ideal for anyone short of space as it could easily be wall mounted or can sit on a narrow bookcase. I just managed to take some photos between showers yesterday - let's hope for some better weather soon!

Shabby Chic Garden Shed

This is a handmade 1/12th scale garden shed which has been given the 'shabby chic' treatment with a bit of sanding. I tried to make it look a little weather worn round the edges and it would be ideal for storing garden equipment or as a hideaway for the man of the house - a comfy chair, a radio (for the cricket commentary) and a bottle of sherry would make his Father's Day perfect!
