It's a MINI world.

I cannot speak for anyone else, but I have always lived in a MINI world. Small places for me has always been a source of comfort. From the closet turned into sleeping quarters at boarding school to homes with planned small rooms for an office or sewing studio; I  just feel at home in small places. ( maybe because too, I am only 5 foot tall) 

So when Shell introduced me to these new MINIs I knew without a doubt I could come up with some uses for them. Not surprising I had a beautiful 8 room doll house and just last year, I gave it to a family who was struggling, a divorced dad with three young girls whom I just knew would bring years of entertainment for them. I hesitated for a moment of course, that doll house meant a lot to me, but some things even those cherished must find a new home. 

So these minis were not going into a doll house. Instead as some of you know, I love photography, so I took some photos of favourite scenes, our white garden, a local fishing hole and a roadside market stand I frequented for years but now abandoned after Mike passed away from cancer. He brought such such joy and wealth of seasonal harvest to our kitchen,  he still lingers at the roadside but mostly in my heart. 

So with some mini 7 x5 frames, the photos turned into postcards and a variety of mini and buttons from shellysbuttonsandmore.com
This is what I came up with. They will be a treasure to anyone who loves any of these adventures of summer, and  all can sit on a table or hung up. Or maybe you will just keep them for yourselves. All of these will be sent to Shelly to be sold at the end of the month and proceeds going to local food banks. 

The patterns shows all the links to for all of your supplies and how to do secure them onto the frames as well how to make a mini blanket and pillow ( no sewing) 

I even added some graphics that are 6 x6 great for printing and getting the wee ones ( buglets) to stick on some buttons. 

( This is one pattern that has all 3 images with links to gather all notions and materials needed )
