My Own Little World


Sometimes when the news of the day gets just too depressing ~
I like to escape to a little world of my own making.  I just finished
working on this miniature wing chair for my dollhouse.
It's a mock up ~ I will be making another and correcting the 
mistakes I made on this one.



A wonderful feeling is when you find yourself in that creative zone
where time seems suspended and you are lost in the moment.


I don't believe a pharmaceutical company has ever created a pill 
that mimics that wonderful feeling when you are creating something just
for the pleasure of it.  For me it is shear bliss!

What should we make next Bentley?

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    It's so adorable and I love your little dollhouse setting!
    I know just what you mean about creating!
    I was sorry to read of the tragic murder you posted...the poor family!
    I hope they will be able to find some peace eventually.

    The Redhead who lives here and loves all tiny things gave this one a big "OHHHHHHHHH!" I would say that is a perfect "10"!

    It is beautiful. Do you ever sell minis? :)

    How perfect! Thanks for sharing, I needed that tonight. But now I'm jealous. I want a dollhouse of my own. I'll have to work on that.

    Love this Susan!! Especially those tiny shoes and Gracie on TV!! Along with your music selection - just a wonderful little moment of escape and bliss visiting you!!
    I picked up a sweet dollhouse about seven years ago and started to collect the furnishings, but was never able to make a complete project of it as work got in the way! Imagine that!
    Have it all in a spot in the basement in the hopes I'll get to it - someday.
    Joy!

    When it all gets too much for me I weed. I can weed for hours, and it transports me.
