Here's another recent mini, available in the store.

I make each tiny book by hand.

If you like any of my handmade work and wish you could be like me, I need you to know that I made it here on this table. You can do anything. Follow your dreams.

Not shown: candy wrappers, three drinks at once, tears, my hands covered in paint splotches and 3 kinds of glue.

I made things! I'm still making things. Come see them.

Can you feel it in the air? The Hal-LEW-een Night Market is here!

I'll be releasing a handful of new minis, and some of the houses from What Makes a House a Home will be up for grabs. Make sure to visit every location for more vendors, festivities, and fun!
