New Etsy Category

On 6th October 2008 after a long campaign by dedicated makers of art dolls and scale miniatures (Etsy DAM Team)Etsy created a new main category "Dolls and Miniatures" with a sub-category under it for "Scale Dollhouse Miniatures". A great acknowledgement of the dollhouse miniature hobby.

Making miniature potato crisps

Collect seeds from a sweet pepper, clean and spread on tray to leave until totally dry. These make very good miniature potato crisps.

Please take a look at my Etsy shop to see miniatures made by me that are currently for sale - http://bluekittyminiatures.etsy.com/.

Miniatures are my Hobby

I make dolls house miniatures as a hobby, I also sell some to other collectors around the world.

When I have some extras for sale I sometimes list them on ebay. For these items you can join in the fun of bidding - I always start at a minimum price.

My newest venture is an Etsy shop - http://bluekittyminiatures.etsy.com/. Items there are available for instant purchase.

I never make many of any item, often they are one-offs so if you see something you would like don't leave it - I may never make another like it.

This is my HOBBY not a business - I don't work to commission or make large quantities.

This year some of my 1/12th scale cakes and flowers were featured in the Spring Gallery in Dolls House & Miniature Scene magazine.
