Organizing the small things

 I am contemplating making my miniature scenes more permanent - getting rid of the layer of dust etc. - and as a very slow first step in that direction I bought a mini cube for my "little treasures." This is a random collection of bits and pieces from my childhood that I have saved. They are definitely not heirloom quality, just sentimental. I told stories with them when I was little. It worked pretty well - I have one more item, a mini wooden bird, but the paint was flaking off so I'll add it when I've figured out how to repaint it.

Roses in bloom puzzle

 I did this one sideways, which I don't think made any difference. I tried to do the yellow lines first, and failed dismally. Also, there was an extra duplicate piece which greatly confused me.

Eurographics tea cups

 I went back and forth on whether I wanted to keep this one - the colors were more muted than I like - but I'll keep it for now.

Eurographics bird houses

 I've been doing a lot of puzzles - cleaning out my stash and I just find it peaceful. I'm not in the mood for anything else. This was my favorite kind of puzzle, where it's easy to see where the pieces go. Very satisfying.

Ravensburger tropical scene

 I've had this one for a long time but I'd forgotten that it's kind of annoying to make. I did it one more time and then let it go.

Green and yellow flannel quilt

 This quilt is about 3x3.5 feet. It's for my youngest niece. I'm not totally happy with it - there was a long period between cutting and piecing and the actual putting it together, but she's a baby, she won't care lol. I did a lot of additional math with this and the pieces STILL didn't line up. Guess I'll try again with the next one.

Eurographics Indian Pillows

 I like this one - I'm keeping it.
