Tutorial - Make a Miniature Thatched Roof Church

Coconut fiber was used to thatch the tiny roof

Tutorial at A Crafty Mix Blog

"There is something so fascinating about miniature gardens.  They take us back to our childhood and I love getting lost in them and living, even if it’s only for a moment, in a tiny world where anything is possible.  One of my favorite people, my Aunty G, feels the same way. She’s like the Pied Piper when it comes to us kids, we all just want to be around her and I’m almost 50.  To celebrate her birthday we wanted to make her something different, something that would always remind her of how special and loved she is.  So we decided to make her this miniature garden with a little thatch roof church"....

Tutorial - How to Make a Miniature Garden

Miniature alpine landscape to chase away winter blues

Tutorial at The Chilly Dog Blog

"During the holidays I received two gifts that I knew would be great for creating a new fairy garden. The first was a miniature Italian Stone Pine tree (which I may have over-watered a bit because I have a bad habit of thinking water = love with plants). The second was a bottle of maple syrup. Even though I received these gifts from different people, they seemed like a perfect pairing for an Alpine themed fairy garden.  I've been scouting my yard for the perfect spot to create my miniature landscape and finally settled on a large clay pot near our fire pit"....
