Roxxie2 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thanks Holly! Each one is coming out better than the last. I am having so much fun with these little houses. The neat thing is, it doesn't take that long to complete one so you feel a great feeling of accomplishment very quickly! I use to look at these sets and pass them by. Now that I am working on them I keep thinking of more ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Are you saving your punched-out sheets to use to make more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Why yes I am Holly! I think I definitly NEED the third set! I wish I could remember who in the forum offered it to me and I turned them down! What a dope! I need the one with the Brimbles and the library and the fire station! I am totally hooked on these tiny gems! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquiG Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Just a thought......but is anyone else interested in making a group doing these villages? I am on my third house but they are so much fun to do! Hi Roxxie. I'm not really new here but your houses prompted me to reply instead of lurking and reading everything. I just ordered the Village and my plans are to order all the kits. Now if I could just find the time to do them LOL Something tells me I'll begin as soon as they arrive and some of my gazillion projects will have to take a back seat. I plan on displaying them on a special bookcase (that I haven't bought yet). Your projects have so much information. Thanks for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I plan on displaying them on a special bookcase (that I haven't bought yet). Jacqui, I love the way you think! Glad to see you come out of the shadows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Jacqui, PLEASE introduce yourself in the Newcomers' Forum and it's always a treat to meet our longtime members when they finally do come out of lurkdom! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquiG Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hi ladies, can you tell I'm the type that just dives into things? I guess I should go to the new members area and introduce myself but of course I'm a sponge for miniature news and dived right into reading everything. Such is life - Eat, sleep and create miniatures! Could I be any more Blessed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Well if you've been hanging around in the corners and shadows, of course eventually you have to come out and play with the rest of us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 I thought it was you Debora but I can't remember ...ha ha I am starting the little Orchid....I can't wait anymore! I was going to do the interior but when I punched out the pieces its so tiny I think that I will just continue with the exteriors like I have been doing. I don't know if I will get to it today but I am excited to make this one its so cute! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thank you Jacqui !!! You made such nice comments on my little houses and I am so glad that you posted! Please share with me and the rest of the folks what you are doing with your village!!! I am having so much fun with these! You made my day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 LOL Well if the Powers at the top are listening and grant wishes......Maybe someday they will bestow upon us a half scale Orchid!!! I do believe I do believe I do believe....... I'd love to have a half scale Orchid. I started drawings for converting a Buttercup into an Orchid. It won't be exact but I think I can get it close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Debora that's a great idea if you can work it out! The quarter scale Orchid is so teensy weensy its beyond adorable! I don't know if I am going to get much done on it today. I spent a ton of time outside this morning cleaning up plants, washing up stuff in the courtyard and I have a long list to do. Maybe this afternoon if I can get my act together! I think a tiny Buttercup would be cute too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 ... I think a tiny Buttercup would be cute too! The half scale Buttercup is pretty darned cute, but a quarter scale one would probably be beyond cute. I've got extra half scale Buttercups in my stash because they are inexpensive and so versatile. I've been getting together the things I'll need for the Buttercup to Orchid bash and will post my steps for others just as soon as the Fling is out of my work space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 I am loving the its bits Orchid! Now if I could only read directions! I am thinking I need to build the regular sized orchid one day! Maybe a beach house or a mouse house...lol:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Well I hit the wall......lol I can't figure out the porch on the front of the Orchid. I think there is a piece missing or something. I will have to sit down later and try to find what I am missing or make a substitute piece. I can't tell from the picture on the box what its suppose to be. There are tabs on the front wall but so far as I can see in all the pieces still in the sheets nothing matches up.

Roxxie2 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 I just uploaded my teensy Orchid to my gallery! I think this one was my favorite one yet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Roxy, they are all so cute! Isn't the Orchid darling! Like I said, now you need a street.... Oh right, that was another thread ending in world building! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacquiG Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thank you Jacqui !!! You made such nice comments on my little houses and I am so glad that you posted! Please share with me and the rest of the folks what you are doing with your village!!! I am having so much fun with these! You made my day! Thanks Roxxie ~ you've made my next 6 months of work but I'm not complaining. So I had ordered the Greenleaf Village AND the Santa's Village, now known as "The Miniature Pine Mountain Village". I've been waiting (not patiently) for either of them to be delivered and wouldn't you know they both arrived today!!! That's what I get for being a glutton. I'm sure I'll be on here more often as I attack these little gems. I'll keep you folks posted and upload pics when I'm done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
