Sable Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Santa brought me two sets of bed pillows hand made by Otterine. I always admired her bed pillows and could never replicate her talent. Thank you Santa and Otterine! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miaowmiaow Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Aside from the Garfield kit (!!!), I also got a Dremel 200. Very interested to see what kinds of uses it has for making miniatures... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debora59 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 From my husband a Samsung 3 phone, So I can go to YouTube.com , pull up burning crackling fireplace use it inside my 1/6 scale fireplace and let it run as long as I want. It runs off our WiFi, Yesterday had 2 phones going in the upstairs fireplaces, also Transiberian Orchestra music video pulled up on the Amazon Fire Kindle , then I just sat there and watched the snow fall outside the Manor house Gothic windows. Usually I am building or working on something when I have the fireplaces going but that time it was for the pure fun of it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimajo Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Hubby went to my Micro-Mark wish list. I got a Chop It for cutting and mitering, Pin Insertion Pliers for tiny brads and nails, and tiny Brass Bar Clamps for miniature furniture. Be a bit before I can finally get back to minis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luanne Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 My hubby gave me a modern chair, my first modern piece of furniture. I don't have any vision yet for this project. My in law gave me a porch swing, the Asahi tea house with the additions of roof, porch and green house. It's my first laser cut house. I am so giddy to start. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueirishmoon Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'd be interested in those, brae! Well I got the good/bad thing this year. The bad is I came down with bronchitis and had to rush over to the emergency clinic Christmas eve morning as my regular MD had given everyone the day off for a long weekend holiday. The bright side is I was able to squeak into my local pharmacy as his last order of the day, since he was closing early. Also, this Dr. I saw gave me the most marvelous cough medicine with alcohol and codeine, so it stopped it in its tracks. Awesome, since by then my whole body especially my abs was hurting from the violence of the coughing. And the antibiotic is kicking the germs' butts. The good thing is I got the ever popular choose your own option when it comes to minis. Ho ho ho...Santa left some nice cash and so did my brother and aunt. Decisions, decisions...

stickyfingers Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I wasn't going to open the kit until after the next build was done (riiiiight....) but I took out the instructions for the Glencroft. Yikes...so ALL of the bits and pieces of the whole front of the house go on all at once? I'll be doing a lot of dry fitting! I have started a notebook for the house, jotting down random ideas. Stone! Brick! Stucco! Stained wood! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrockgirl18 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I didn't get any mini stuff for x-mas. Whenever I mention the idea to my husband, he says he doesn't know what I need/want for my dh's. But I did get an Ebay gift card from my sister in law, so I think I'll save that for when I see something I really want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Miniature Madness Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 My birthday is a week before Christmas, so I get double gifts or nothing at all depending on the budget! This year, my kids got me a cordless Dremel which is awesome because my old one was about 15 years old and was really clunky difficult to get to and set up. The new one sits right behind me in my work space and is easy to grab and go! The hubs let me pick out a tool that I wanted. I didn't want to be greedy, so I bought a cut off saw, blades and more clamps from Harbor Freight. That thing is awesome! Small enough to leave set up on top of my storage drawer unit, but works well for most trims and cuts that I need to make! All of this for under $40! My generous parents gave me $100 for my birthday, so I was able to buy the Sugarplum kit and some of the speed shingle strips. My kids went in together on a Christmas gift - a $150.00 Amazon gift card, so I restocked some basic supplies and ordered flower and plant making stuff (paper, punches etc). I am grateful to have supplies and materials to start off the new year with some fun projects! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
