Soooo, the suggestion I was going to make at some point for another teacup scenario sort of thing, I should probably just keep that to myself, right? 🙄🤣🤣
In a fit of enthusiasm, I bought a similar kit some years back. I started it and then put it aside. During lockdown I got it out again to have another go. As soon as I opened up the package I remembered why I'd given up. What a faff! I love miniatures and dollshouses so you'd think it would have been great but frankly life's too short. It's still sitting there taunting me.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Thank you for trying. 👍 A motto I go by: Feel the fear, and do it anyway. I tried making a chain mail bracelet with small rings. Even with my small hands, it was very difficult. I ended up using bigger rings, and made the simplest bracelet I could.
Hi Anthony. Sometimes you really do set yourself a mammoth task doing the smallest crafts 😆. My nerves were shattered just watching you struggle. Ten out of ten as ever for even attempting anything out of that kit .
Omg!!! I threw mine in the trash!! As soon as I opened it up I knew I was destined for a fail. There is definitely someone in a foreign land ,lol over all of us who spent the $$ on this !!
Oh Ant, you didn't let us all down you silly thing! You simply didn't realise what you were letting yourself in for. Give the set to someone as a gift, or put it in a charity bag and let the charity deal with it. I feel that you are really not cut out for tiny items. To be fair, that has to be the SMALLEST potted plant I have ever seen in my life! It was the size of a grain of rice! Don't be too hard on yourself hun. It simply wasn't your kind of thing. That's not a fail Ant, not at all! Anyway, may God bless you with a boost to your moral, and may He bless you with peace and joy, and your family also. Have a better day tomorrow hun.
Having watched you for quite some time now I was pretty confident in saying to my hubby “oh my god! He’s trying it again. He’ll last maybe ten minutes and give up”, hubby thought you’d do it. To be fair, I would never have attempted it myself. At least you tried and then bombed 🤣🤣. Entertaining as always xx
Awww bless ya Ant 🥺 You need one of those lighted magnifying glasses that go on to your desk and special tweezers. That way you'd stand a better chance when challenged like this 🤔🤗🥰🥰
My mum has been having some health problems this past year and last Tuesday we found out that she has a rare brain desease (PSP) which I'd never even heard of and the prognosis isn't good, so I was really upset, then I got a notification for a video (your video) and it was the only thing that took my mind off the bad news we'd recieved that day. What I'm trying to say is never feel that any of your videos aren't worth posting or was a failure because either way I look forward to seeing them and they cheer me up. Even when I'm upset you still make me chuckle and that's not an easy thing to do. So thank you Anthony 😊 PS. I think most people who make these things must use an extra strong magnifying glass, because the parts are really tiny 😂 It'd take me at least a year to complete one of those things, if I was lucky. I don't think I'd have got as far as even opening any of the bags 😆
Oh I'm really sorry to hear the bad news!! Sending lots of love and hugs your way! And I'm glad I was able to take your mind off of things for a little while 😊😊 Oh and they for sure must use a magnifying glass, either that or they have super vision 🤣🤣
Anthony, don't be hard on yourself when you open these all the parts look overwhelming. I have made this one and the tree one and I find it's good to open it up and look at the pieces then take a day and set aside hours to do it. I find them relaxing once you get into them and am currently doing a miniature kitchen with my mother in law.
@@AnthonyCrammen I have done many of the dollhouses and miniature ones. I think they are overwhelming at first, but with time are relaxing. I posted the two I did on my Instagram I do follow you on there if you want to see them complete.
Aww Ant! At least you gave it a go (even if it was just glueing a bit of faux plant to a Hama bead 😂😂😂). Have you ever tried building/painting Warhammer or tabletop minis? They're definitely not as tiny 😁
LOL I'm not sure if I've ever seen someone in so much despair 😂 I am actually one of those people who enjoy doing tiny art. Like I literally do intricate paintings on my nails. I love how much I have to focus I guess?... and everything is just instant cute when it's so tiny 😄😄
After watching your techy one tonight that bashed my brains then seeing this cheeky video that for some reason I didn't get a notification for, I was excited thinking aye something I can do. I even convinced myself that there was an Xmas themed one and I was going to get it because of the lights etc. Well the update is that there is no way on this earth I would have the patience to do one. So thank you for saving me money on something that would of ended up in a draw for sure. I love your honesty and congratulate you on your completion of the plant with pot. 😊🍷❤️
Oh it would definitely be some sort of feat to be able to complete one of these! I know I'll never do it 😆😆 Haha and thanks Angela! So small you can barely even see it 🤣🤣
Hey Ant, thanks for the bonus mid-week video!! 😁😁I don't blame you for abandoning that teeny tiny dolls house, it was ridiculously small 😆😆 Definitely something to enjoy looking at when somebody has spent thirty years making it 😝😝 On the plus side, perhaps you can use the rotating mechanism and plastic dome for another (slightly larger) project? 😁😁
@@AnthonyCrammen Probably the best place for it at the moment!! 🤣🤣 Hopefully your next project is on a much bigger scale!! 😃😃Hope you're having a fab evening 😁😁
Well the crafting didn't go well but at least your video cracked me up! That dollhouse is much tinier than 1:24...Maybe one millimeter to 24 millimeters! I enjoy the slightly larger kits, but even those are pretty fidgety and tiny. And they do take me ten million years. 😂
@@AnthonyCrammen I have always been fascinated by minis and dollhouses, and I also make jewelry, sew, knit, and do ALL kinds of crafts! I am always yelling at you when you are struggling, cause I want to help you !!! I was super jealous when you opened that first mini, because it was not available in US, and I wanted to make it so bad! My only problem is I drown in finished items; I have no interest in most things once I make them - I mostly enjoy the process - and especially kits the feeling of having put something together. Like "order from chaos" , like a puzzle, I really love organizing and sorting - love finding tins of old buttons or bags of vintage jewelry and just sorting thru them!!
Send it to me it might take me years to make it 😂 ... I've made a wooden dolls house before all painted I even made extra parts... Bless ya ur so funny I do enjoy your video's ..
OMG OMG HI!! Okay first, I feel like I inflicted real psychological trauma now and I kinda feel bad! Thank you so much though for giving it another go, and thank you for uploading this!! Okay so; the one that I made is significantly smaller than the one you were able to pick up, but it's still a lot of finicky things and even I didn't get everything right. They really don't tell you where to start first so the feeling of being overwhelmed with tiny things is really relatable. I'll take a picture and I'll send it to you on twitter with a ruler to show you just how tiny tiny it really is! (What is this, a tiny room for ants??) The best kind of glue for these things is tacky glue and I nearly SCREAMED when you picked up the hot glue I'm like "NOOO the burns!" I uploaded a review and a picture to the amazon page I linked you to at first, but I'll take a better pic for you soon ok? Anthony, you are a treasure and a gift to us all
Haha don't worry about it!! 🤣🤣🤣 And no problem at all! Still the fact that you've managed to do a lot of it is crazy!! I just didn't even know where to start with it all 😆😆 Oh I look forward to it! The fact that yours was even smaller!!! You deserve a medal Merbear!! 🏅🏅🏅
You poor thing! My sister makes miniatures... She also crochets with thread and makes lace. Nooooo!! Me? I paint giant wall murals. It would be so much fun to see you pick a paint by number set, blow it up and paint it on a big 5x7 board!
@@AnthonyCrammen For anyone that is creative but just can't paint, it is lots of fun. My little girl painted one of Winnie The Pooh and Eeyore when she was 7! You could do Monet's water lilies! You just have to match the colors of the paint. Good luck sweet man.
hi. am glad you did up load this as was wanting to try one of these. Sorry you wasted your money but you stopped me wasting mine. these look like a nightmare.
I made a doll house from a doll house kit for my daughter and she broke it within a week. .. I was not amused! :') Try miniature painting after.... It's easier. A lot easier but will still be a test lol.
Miniature making world is so crazy. I mean I do like it bud it’s cray cray. And also expensive. I still hope to one day make a full decorated Victorian house. For now I made a coffee shop. Bud I made some executive desisions when it came to the plants. They where paper. The point of mij scissors where bigger. Bud when I see some. People’s stuff. It’s supper.
You doubt yourself so much. I reckon you could do it, just takes so long to make. Do a little bit at a time and it’ll be done before you know it ❤. Im definitely going to give it a go
@@AnthonyCrammen something like that takes weeks you’re right. No way would that be done in a day unless you get up mega early and go to bed stupid o clock lol. Maybe you should give it a go off camera you may feel more relaxed then
I am never, *EVER* attempting to make a dolls house again! 🙈🙈
Soooo, the suggestion I was going to make at some point for another teacup scenario sort of thing, I should probably just keep that to myself, right? 🙄🤣🤣
@@Luxinda For now?....yes 🤣🤣🤣 I can't deal with things that are that tiny 😆😆😆

On Anthony, whenever I'm feeling down l turn to you as you cheer me up no end, you're so funny, I love everything you do!
Ah thanks Karey! 😊😊 Glad I can cheer you up! 😊😊
Hi Anthony. Sometimes you really do set yourself a mammoth task doing the smallest crafts 😆. My nerves were shattered just watching you struggle. Ten out of ten as ever for even attempting anything out of that kit .
Oh I definitely wasn't expecting it to be soooo small and intricate 😆😆 Ah and thanks! I'm never trying again! 🤣🤣
Things like that are never quick makes. I did one and it took several weeks. At least you tried 😊
