This flu has really put me off my crafting stroke, Little Lily Rabbit is still without her “just in case pocket” and having finally gathered everything together I have yet to make a single start on any drawer of Iris and Bertie’s Disneyland Countdown ……. bum, bum, bum!
And then Lu went and opened a whole new world of Sylvannian Families out to me ……... dioramas in a suitcases ……… this lady is just too clever!
Have a look at Linda's Etsy Shop
LittledreamscapesCo - https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LittledreamscapesCo?ref=l2-shopheader-name
I wish I hadn’t started looking ……… because I then moved on to Pinterest and found simple patterns for Sylvannian clothes, after I had bought a box of naked bears going so cheap it would have been rude not to buy on Ebay, that I thought would add to the toy cupboard …….. but now I am tempted to have a go at a simple diorama myself perhaps using the wooden houses I got at the Hobbycrafts Show ……. using a couple of smallest figures in the box, when dressed, of course!
Only problem is ……. when I am ever going to find the time?

I can certainly relate! I have had a horrible cold for over a week and just haven't had the energy to craft. Finally, today, I felt better and had a little more energy, so I spent a couple of hours making Valentines while washing clothes (both my crafting space and the laundry are in the basement). The dioramas are cute. Iris and Bertie would probably adore looking at them. I hope you feel better soon and can get in some quality crafting time.
I thought you might like to know that my love of sylvanian families no longer cherished and relegated to eBay or charity shops has inspired me to make some pretty little market stalls set in a fictitious village “Fairwalk”, also inside suitcases. Take a look on Pinterest or LittledreamscapesCo on Etsy. I appreciate your comments on my suitcase dioramas, thank you so much. I’m encompassing vintage biscuit tins as well now😉🙄 (every crafter will recognise the urge to seek out and conquer a new idea) those wonderful old tins that remind me of my Nan, who kept buttons in them. So now I have recreated pantries, Aga inglenooks, a diamond office and a surprise guest room, all neatly tucked inside (such fun a patina’d tin one minute and a tiny world of memories or fantasy the next). I made the diamond office with opening drawers real diamonds parcel papers head loop etc etc and all the accoutrements of the trade sprinkled with memories and props that represent some pretty hilarious events that happened in the many years we spent working together in the diamond business. All in a replica snuff box biscuit tin for my dear friend Gaye who celebrated her 60th recently. Linda
