    What a great idea, that mini flower diorama. Just an idea for a tip - when I'm sticking small fiddly things with epoxy, superglue and the like, I shave down a matchstick with a scalpel and then I can get just a tiny dot of the glue exactly where I want it. Also I'll often use my jewellery tweezers to place things easily. Thanks again for more minature fun!

    I’m having a big feeling morning. I made the decision to give myself some extra time in bed under my coziest blankets and make an extra cup of coffee. This video was like a soothing balm to my soul this morning. A way to focus on the beautiful that is inside the little things, to dream of how I could create more beauty in the world. My cozy morning has just given me the inspiration to face the day with a soft joy. Thank you.

Every bit and bob we found was used in some way to make our dollhouses all the more enchanting and magical - much like yours!
    The framed flowers idea was amazing - so creative! It turned out beautifully too!
