Slowly making headway... Bear Furniture!

Hello all,

I'm still super busy with a growing 3 month old, but I am finding time here and there to continue with my furniture making business.

Before I had my baby, my aunt asked me if I could make her a custom set of chairs for her Muffy the Bear collection. I don't know how many Muffy's she has but she has a nitch in her kitchen for a new scene every month! She said Muffy definitely needed some new furniture and she gave me the fabric she liked. She also gave me a bear to do the sizing off of. Here are the chairs:


And here is one of the chairs with Muffy Vanderbear herself! Don't tell my aunt she's naked... she'd freak out.... but she gave me a bear with a Valentines Day outfit on and it just didn't mesh well with the black and white chairs lol.

It was kind of nice working in a scale other than doll house scale for a little bit. But never fear, I will always make doll house furniture... working on something rather tedious right now. Will post when I get further along with it!

hugs, ara

Hello out there!


Hi Friends.... I am starting up this blog to journal and help promote my miniatures business! I tried doing one before but gave up when business got slow... but not this time. I plan to record all my business triumphs and fails... have fun posts on how-to's and a post every Thursday called "Thursday's Things"!

I have a 2 month old baby right now so working on my mini's can be tough... but I now have a little help watching her during the week so I plan to get stuff done! whoo hoo!

For those of you new to my blog and business, I only sell my items on Etsy. I can take requests over the blog but they must be paid for through Etsy. It's not too hard to join the site if you haven't already. And all the items on there are worth joining anyhow!

I am showing a picture of my most recent furniture for sale (pre-baby) but will have new stuff soon enough!

Hugs to all, Ara
