I'm going to Miniatura for the first time at the NEC in Birmingham on 19th March and I am so excited I really don't know how I'm going to last lol.
I keep finding myself pondering over the exhibitors list. I don't really have a shopping list, all I'm desperate for at the moment is a bath and some bits for the bathroom in Honey Cottage. I'm also going to be meeting up with lots of mini friends that I have been sharing laughs, tears and life with for many years now. I cant wait and will apologise to you all now as I'm probably going to have many blurts where I can't contain my excitement leading up to it.
Are any of you going and what's on your shopping list? Are there any particular stalls I should make sure I see?
It's going to be about a 2hr drive for me to get there, but I'm going to load the CD player with some sing along tunes and sing my way there lol Luckily no one will have to suffer the fate of listening to me though hahaha

Getting Motivated
Well as you all know I've had a slump since January I just can not get motivated, so I've now booked my ticket to the NEC in march to go to Miniatura I'm hoping that a few hours of perusing around there will kick me back into the full swing of things again.
I've ordered a couple of things on line and Im going to have another go a polymer clay when they arrive. I don't think I'm cut out for it but quite enjoyed my first attempt.
As for Monster Miniatures I have now added to my collection of designs that are in the wings ready to make up after looking through The World of Interiors Magazine that was passed to me from work. I've seen lots of pieces that I would like to try out in miniature, including a mirrored brick wall for my bathroom in Honey Cottage.
Monster Miniatures also has its own Facebook Page now Ive decided to save on Etsy and Ebay fees, all items will be available on there and here for 3days before being put into the store, so please like the page to see exclusive items before the store.

Free Delivery Etsy Voucher for Blog Followers
OK so February is here and I've still done nothing. I just seem to be so busy lately what with work and family. I know excuses excuses but my boss has just had a baby which has left me the only one there on a Wednesday and by the time I've finished making crystal chandeliers I'm not in the mood to start making a mess and doing mini makes at home.
As an apology I've set up a voucher code that is valid until 28th February 2011 for free delivery within my Etsy store using the voucher code BLOG0211DEL. This is redeemable against any of the items in my store including any future ones that may eventually find them selves in there before the end of the month lol. It is also redeemable against international shipping.

Hello and Apologies
Firstly I would like to say Hello to my new followers and thank you for taking the time to follow my blog. If I can start getting myself back into gear then once I have reached 50 followers I will do a free give-away.
Secondly I must apologies to you all for my quietness of late I know I said this year I would try and blog more and get Monster Miniatures going but I started Weight Watchers last week and my mind has been completely consumed with what I can and can't eat to the point I have even been dreaming of food lol. I tried to finish off a couple of projects I've got on the go but I just haven't got any concentration at the moment. I'm really hope that within the next week or so that changes as I have so much to do still.
Failing everything I suppose I could always say February is a new month lol

Monster Miniatures Has Its Signature Piece In Store
I gave myself one last kick up the bum last night and made the mattress for the mirrored bed so it now available for sale through Etsy.
I have made my first two sales and I am working hard on new bits to add to the store.
The etched mirrors I make can be customized to your specification so if you have any preferences on what you would like to see then please let me know and I will see if its possible. The beds can also be etched or left plain if you wish.
I'm in two minds at the moment as to weather its worth also putting my items on Ebay, as I'm not sure how well Etsy is known about. I myself didn't know much about it until more recently.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my miniature friends who have supported me over the last couple of months and years lol. I would especially like to thank Helen who helped give me the confidence to push forward with this venture. While I'm thanking people I should also say thank you to my husband he has had 2 years of my "Should I, Shouldn't I" before I reached this point.
