Maggie Applewhite

Hello Bloggers!

Thanks to all of you who have been wondering if I am doing well because of my long absence! I´m fine, real life just keeps me quite busy. Two weeks ago we spent a week vacation on the Lago di Garda and we had a wonderful time there and...my energy is back!

This weekend I´ve been playing around with my witches shop "Miranda´s Magical Seedlings". I paper-backed the shelf for the potions, finally made a broom...

..which is an absolute MUST HAVE for every decent witch, played around with the furniture...

...and  bits and pieces...

...and made Whoo-Hoo-Apples (very delicious in witchy apple pies AND 100% organic!)..

...to be more attractive for our magical customers. Here´s the first buyer, dear witch 

Maggie Applewhite who lives in the neighborhood.

Don´t worry, she is a really good witch. Most of the time :D

I am so happy how she turned out (more "alive" than my other dolls), although she was really, really ugly until the moment she had her hair and hat on and I almost threw her away :-)

But now I also want to introduce you to someone else:

PIMPF

This little miniature is going to live with us in a few weeks :-))))))

Isn´t he CUTE!!!?

Bye for now,

Sandra

Albert - the house-elf

Hello!

It was late last night and veeeerrrrrry early this morning, but now here is

ALBERT

I guess he came to Miranda with her last tour to Highgrove. Albert LOVES flowers and plants, but

these Muggle flowers were a bit boring to him and he really did not like to jump and hide behind bushes whenever a muggle tourist came his way.

Miranda´s shop is quite small so she still has to find a small place for him to sleep - maybe under the potting table????

Albert´s hands are quite ugly. So instead of a pot full of snails he will get a pot full of hanging ivy :-)

Have a wonderful week!

Do you know snail-aways???

Hello!

Aaaah...the weather here is so ugly, cold and rainy...the football EM has begun...

PERFECT TIME TO MAKE MINIS!!!!

I made a break from my mouse house as coloring the outside is so boring , and made some items for my witch Miranda, who is very thankful for that! So I took out my paints and gave some barewood pieces a little bit of color. I used my arcylics very thin and for aging and the wood-look parts "Alles Patina" in walnut from Rayher. It was the first time I used this and I really liked it and will keep my eyes up for other wood-types :-)

Here´s Miranda, still captured in a frog´s body :-(  Don´t mind the snail on her book, we seem to have a little snail-problem here lately, which has to do with Miranda´s new breeding of the snail-away-plant:

While the first generation of the plants was really successfull in chasing away snails, the second generation is doing the contrary and magically attracting all kinds of snails! Nobody expected that and it took a while until we found out why we have snails everywhere. But don´t worry: Miranda never throws a plant away, we gave it to the neighbour :-))))))

The plants that were not eaten by the snail are growing very well and so Miranda had some time to get hand on some Fairy-dust-pumpkins. I saw similar ones on etsy but thought them to be too expensive and so I told Miranda and she kindly solved the problem.

It is not easy to get these pumpkins, you know? You have to make a fairy spread all of her fairy dust over the pumpkin patch. No decent fairy would do that voluntarily, of course. So, you must find a way to make her drunk. I do not know how Miranda made it, but I now own a nice collection of wonderful golden pumpkins :-))))

To show her my appreciation I created a logo for her shop (with the help of the Graphics Fairy) and made her bright blue wheelbarrow a bit more stylish :-)))

We are quite a good team, Miranda and me....

Thanks to you all for your lovely comments on my last post! 

To those of you who enjoy football I wish you an exciting EM and to the rest:

Have a wonderful week!

Hugs, Sandra

A Mini-Me from Flutterby

Hi there!

Reading other people´s blogs is such an amanzing journey full of inspirations, admiration for the work of others and sometimes I even fell in love with something....or someone :-) So, this is "my love" Flutterby! Usually he´s living with Birgit and I suppose she is not going to part with him as he is such a charming fellow. So, last night when I could not find sleep (we all catched the flew), I made my own Mini-mini-Flutterby :-))) As I cannot sew he is made of FIMO. Here you can see him with his already second pair of wings - my daughter obviously loves him too!

Liebe Birgit, ich hoffe, Du verzeihst mir mein Plagiat!

I hope you are all doing fine and have a good week!

Hugs, Sandra
