Comeback Greetings

Hello everyone,

First of all, i want to apologize for my long hibernation from this blog.
Well, a lot of things have happened, and changed in the past  few years. I am no longer a university student. I have finished my degree and graduated on February 2011. And after that, I directly took a job. It didn't last long, I worked for the company for a few months then I decide to resign from the job. Long story short, I have been wandering around and struggling with everything until this year, I am slowly, but steadily getting back on my feet again.
I never forget how much I love the miniature world. I followed some updates from miniatures pages on facebook, and wondering when will I be back? I feel like I never have time to make minis, or explore what I could create in mini scale.
Last month, I went to Bali and meet my friend, she is the owner of MNO.logie accessories line. She made a very beautiful transparent clutch bag (you can find it on Etsy). She gave me encouragement to pursue my dream, and she told me that I have to do something with what I am passionate about as soon as possible, before I get too old. She also told me this ; "when you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did."
So, I make this post, my very first post after a long time absent, as a come back greeting. I will blog again, and for sure I will make minis again. This is the new beginning of Miniature Wonderland. I will probably make some changes in this blog, and I'm also thinking about selling my work online. There are so many things to do! I will write my real post after I get back from Europe (yes, I'm going to Europe next week *so exciting*).
Last but not least, I hope, my story will inspire you to do anything that you passionate about. Miniature world is my passion, and will always be. What about you? :)


Mini hugs,

Its been a while....

Its been a while since my last post about the gift..
I've been busy these past few weeks. My sister just recovered from her leg surgery, my housemaid is sick and she can't do her job until next month, and i have to finish my thesis. but thanks God everything goes well now. well...have i told you about my roombox? I decided to make a miniature general store with it.
i started with finding the perfect flooring for the store.i'm using a parquet/real wood floor. then, making the shelf for display, I paint them with wood stain.

and here are some minis i've made. all of these minis are handmade, except the crates, sacks and bottles. i buy them online. If you can see me now, you'll see the dark circle under my eyes because it takes extra effort to make all of these mini stuffs..

*sneak peak behind the scene........*

i need more stuffs to fill the shelfs... still so many minis to make.....
What color should i paint the wall? plain white is all i'm thinking about, but i think it will be so boring.... what do you think?

hugs,
christina
