Sable Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Are any of you planning to attend this year's NAME Convention? I'm going. For NAME members the price for registration is $255. This includes a few meals. Vendor sales are open to the public on Saturday and Sunday July 29 and 30.

Khadi Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Wow! This is less than a mile from my house, and I'll be teaching summer school about a block away. I'm not signed up to attend, but I will definitely stop by for the public vendor sales on Saturday or Sunday. Thanks for posting this. PS: I'd like to meet a fellow miniaturist if you would like to get together sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Florida so I'm going to the convention to represent our club since I am club president. I noticed you have a club in Alexandria. Here is more info on it: https://miniatures.org/clubs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 While deciding what I want to pack for the trip, my mind keeps saying navy pants, white blouse and navy sweater. It just dawned on me that I lived in Fairfax in the 60's ( just down the road from Alexandria) from 1st through 6th grade and went to Catholic school. All I ever wore was a navy uniform. Thankfully, I don't own any saddle shoes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khadi Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'd suggest foregoing the navy sweater with the temperatures this summer. LOL Thanks for the information on the club. I was wondering if there was anything in this area. I'm not quite sure of my schedule for next weekend, but I'll send you a message to let you know day, I'll be coming.

Sable Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Ive been working on the gift exchange and table favors my assigned banquet dinner table will be having. I'm to bring 9 $3 to $5 items and one $10 to $12 item. So I'm making 9 beehives and a rocking horse. Can't wait to see the goodies I will be receiving. Here is a link to the beehives: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/?app=gallery&module=gallery&controller=view&id=129166 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beulah Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 thank you Sable for posting the Miniature Organization link. The nearest to me is in Ft. Worth, I wonder if there is enough people here to start one closer to Denton, Flower Mound Area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclay rolled out into a thread. Then I wrapped it around a thimble. Let it dry for a couple of days. Painted it, applied a wash and clear nail polish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have a list of people in your area whom have previously shown interest. You might also ask them if you could be their Sister group and they might send you extra kits and supplies. You also might put an ad in your local weekly paper or on Nextdoor, a neighborhood forum. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 I decided the beehives need to be wrapped in cute packaging. I spent the evening trying to create boxes out of card stock. I'm giving up. I guess I'll try looking for premade ones at the various craft stores tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I saw some nice little white boxes there. You could draw some lines on them to make them look like beehives. So a skep in a box hive ... hehehehehe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't make it today. I had to clean up water in my laundry room from all of the rain on Friday. I have something to do tomorrow during the day but will try to stop by on my way home. I hope you're having a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
