    Beautiful boxes. Makes me wish I was a person who read magazines, so I could find the beautiful images like you do.. hehe As for the cicadas.. I actually love the sound of them, except I hear them 24/7 all year round. I have tinnitus and that's one of the sounds I always hear. It reminds me of cicadas.. haha It can get annoying at times, because it never stops, but most of the time it doesn't bother me. Still, I'd rather hear that than when it's the high pitched squeal. 😅 Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

      THANKS!
      I personally don't read magazines either! but I collect them from my family or my friends! Maybe you could do the same!
      I'm sorry for the tinnitus! I know it can be very upsetting and disturbing: my mom suffers from it.

      @@mfamilysminis Actually I`m making pillowcases for bed pillows, not dollhouse pillows. However I painted a dollhouse door, and roof, plus bought and painted shutters for the same dollhouse yesterday. All beautiful roof red colour. Last year I made curtains for the wee house, and the year prior, I made and embroidered wee sheets and pillow cases for 3 beds in that dollhouse. My friend crocheted bedspreads for me for those beds as well. No one lives forever, and who ever in my family who ends up w/ this creation, is going to be a lucky duck. The twins are 9 now, but they have enjoyed it immensely, prior to covid.

    lol living in the Aussie Outback the summer is just the sound of cicadas from sun up to sun down. You know when you hear them at 5am it’s going to be a stinking hot day😹😹
    Now that we are going into winter they mostly sound around lunchtime onwards but even that will stop in a few more weeks.
    Love the idea of using magazines for their patterns will have to check with a friend of mine for a few of her old ones as I don’t buy magazines have not bought them in almost 30 years now. The ones I do buy are craft and these I can not cut up as they have tutorials and such in them😹😹

    • @mfamilysminis
      @mfamilysminis  8 місяців тому

      Here too the cicadas sing at night when it is very hot. Unfortunately, we have heatwaves more and more often...
      I haven't bought magazines for ages either! I got these from my mom and they are from 2009! So I try to find some from friends just like you!
      I hope you have a lot of fun with it!

    Thats so funny, accidentally stepping on your tiny boxes as a new ageing technique! I'm sorry you had so many troubles with them at first but all mistakes and accidents teach us lessons we can learn from. But all your boxes looked amazing in the end! When you made the first box without a template, I thought that cat picture would make a really sweet looking tea tray too.
    Cicadas always remind me of long hot summers as a child when there were so many of them around that the street light poles would be covered in them! We don't get many of them where I live now but I always love to hear them in the summer

      When I find a pattern that I like in a magazine, I cut it out and stick it on my "pattern notebook" to use it later. I have a video that explains this process: ua-cam.com/video/tfZPe_ZahdY/v-deo.html
