This is the MiniVerse Harry Potter Potions Class set. I’ll have to find what it’s actually supposed to look like because while doing the floor I had a better idea and ultimately decided it was too good to merely make the actual set.

My brother got me 2 for Christmas because there’s a really nice looking table that I thought would be perfect to hold my tiny things.

I wasn’t too keen on the potions part since it’s just putting tiny things then resin in jars (I do that all the time anyways) but the extra supplies are always nice.

Next week I’ll show you how it’s coming along!

Super fun to do btw! All the kudos for the attention to details!

See ya!

Happy Easter everyone!!

If you’re wanting to read the full account of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, you’ll want to start at Matthew 27.

Of course, the entire Bible is a fantastic read, but for today we can pick and choose!

Enjoy!

SO much tiny stuff!!

Here’s more for your enjoyment.

Chocolate frogs!

Story time- I got a Harry Potter Honeydukes set for Christmas, but it ended up being for the gummy snakes.

I do not like snakes.

Not wanting to repeat that I did something not quite in the spirit of the blind spheres.

There’s a cheat to these that tell you what item is in which sphere. I really only wanted the frogs and the feathers for the molds so I tried the cheat sheet (that always has the caveat it may not be 100% accurate).

It worked.

Not sure if it works for all of them, but I got the ones I wanted.

I like Harry Potter (books are better than the movies but the movies are always entertaining!) but not quite enough to need the entire set. Especially when they have skulls and slugs, etc…

Onto the actual crafty!

You will note I have an open bottle of Hershey syrup from another set and two other bottles on standby.

MiniVerse gives you a lot more than you need so you always have leftovers (which I love!), but that means I have a good collection of opened resin bottles.

In an effort to keep things clean and manageable, I’ve started using a similar color from an already opened bottle.

For this, they’re chocolate frogs so any brown color would actually do. I now have depleted an open bottle of resin and have an unopened (that isn’t sticky) to set aside for something later!

Also, the tiny frogs have a delightful amount of detail from the mold!

And yes, I fully intend to make green frogs too.

Y’all, as always, stay crafty!

Don’t forget to read some of your Bible every day too. Evil likes to discourage us every chance it gets, so limit those chances!

Ta!

We celebrated Christmas last week and I got SO much tiny stuff!!

However, in true me fashion I forgot to take pics before cause I was so excited and just started doing tiny crafty things.

But here are some pics!

The drinks were from a Dollar Tree cafe series that’s really $5 (but that’s still cheap!) and I apparently cut out the Capybara I did but you can see the card on the bottom right for what he looks like.

He has a tiny ducky!!

The pumpkins are part of last years Halloween series and you get to dig the insides out, pop out the faces and put candles in them!

Since the candles don’t glow I decided to dip them in sparkly glow-in-the-dark glue.

Haven’t had a chance to test it out and see if it worked, but it’s worth a shot!

I have so much more and I’ll try to remember the before pics…but I make no promises.

Have a wonderful week!

There’s plastic backing on the sides too. I tried the first time to fold it just with my fingers and smoothing it down, but that didn’t work too well.

Attempt two was simply to press each side on using the table. More rigid than my fingers so it actually stuck better and without weird air pockets.

Ta-da!!!

Let the crafty commence!

See everyone next week with more tiny!

Inventory was last night/early this morning.

I got nothing.

Have a fabulous week!

At this point y’all know my family doesn’t always celebrate Christmas on actual Christmas Day.

If all goes as planned, we’ll be celebrating March 13!

YAY!!!

I’ll keep y’all posted!

Until next week!!

I have to admit, I think I’m a tad bit depressed again.

I’m reading, but it’s kind of a struggle and I haven’t done a crafty thing in weeks!

It’s not that the books aren’t good! I just don’t want to pick one up, but it’s easier then thinking about doing a crafty thing.

I’m dealing with some health stuff too.

God got me through before and He’ll do it again.

I never say no to extra prayers!

Have a fantastic week everyone!

I have realized since I started driving that sometimes music can make me sleepy. It’s why it’s so important for me to have audiobooks ready to listen to when I have more than a twenty minute drive.

This last trip I decided to finally listen to the Stargate Atlantis cds my sister got me a couple years ago for Christmas!

They.

Were.

FANTASTIC!!!

ALL 5 stars!!

Even the creepy Wraith one that I listened to while driving at night…

No regerts! 😉

See y’all next time and never apologize for listening to audiobooks because they’re books too!

Apparently I missed last week and I do apologize!

As most of us are aware, and experienced, there was a massive snow/ice storm that made its way through the USA last week.

I was playing a game if go-into-work or not-go-into work. At one point I was actually driving to work (hadn’t made it far) when my boss said to stay home.

When the boss can’t make it in, you don’t have to make it in!

Anyways, not unlike COVID I lost track of the days and completely forgot to post.

Sorry y’all!

I did keep everyone in my prayers for safety during the storm and aftermath!

Until next time, stay warm!
