A life-long hobby is something else, isn't it?
It brings us joy at the snap of the fingers.
It lets us slip on the happiness cloak whenever there's a minute to spare.
Collecting and making dollhouse miniatures is one of my all time favorite hobbies.
The current project being worked on is a miniature farmers market.
It's going to be a long-term project and there is no projected completion date.
In the meantime, I'm having loads of fun fashioning fruits and veggies from Sculpey clay.
A couple of years ago, my daughter gave me a fabulous gift certificate to a dollhouse supply house so I ordered darling little "wooden" boxes for some of the produce.
This market might look great under a glass terrarium-type structure, don't you think?
Not sure how it's all going to come together but I'm having a blast creating the future market's goods in every second of rare free time.
The photos in today's post are a sneak peak at the market's first boxes of produce!
WHAT HOBBY, IF ANY, BRINGS YOU THE MOST JOY?
I have to tell you the truth - when I saw the first picture it looked like you were going to get ready for making breakfast - full of REAL fruit! Those were just fabulous. I wouldn't have a clue how to even start those!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey look so real. Great job Susan! I guess my hobby is singing and playing the piano now that I'm retired.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was all real at first. So nice to see your creative ways! Have fun! You know me, crochet all the way!
ReplyDeleteWhen I taught I had a daily outlet for my creativity. This weekend I made a book for my grandson. I used all of the elephant pictures we took on our visits to the zoo. Hubby says I am the only person he knows who will destroy one thing to make another.
ReplyDeleteI really like you little boxes. I remember childhood and the times spent with grandparents at the farm!
ReplyDeleteSusan, they look so real. Great job! I guess I love reading and collecting as my favorite hobbies!
ReplyDeleteI think writing is the most joy filled hobby right now and when I can make it happen. I used to love knitting and cooking.

ReplyDeleteSweet glimpses of life!
Wow, they look very realistic! Yes, a glass terrarium might be just perfect. Looks like you are off to a great start! :)
ReplyDeleteOMGosh you made those veggies from clay? I thought they were the real thing.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a fun project to follow!
Very realistic and perfect for your doll house. I consider photography and baking my favorite hobbies.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on those ! just awesome! What a fun passion.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your miniatures. My mother and grandfather built a doll house together with every detail and she even bought a mini lathe to turn spindles for the wrap-around porch. A very nice hobby you have there, my friend, XOXO
