Suzy's Minis

Yay! It's April!  She is sure living up to her name here in SW Ontario, with plenty of showers so far.  Looking forward to the flowers they bring! So much negative stuff happening in the news-world these days, thankfully Barbie made some headlines this week and gave us something positive to look forward to. I know a movie won't fix the world but having something fun to look forward to always brightens my mood :) #TheBarbiemovie headshots were released last week giving us a glimpse of the characters and the amazing costumes. I have to say, Allan is my favourite. Perfect casting with Michael Cera and his shirt/costume is spot on. Also nice to see so many Canadians!! Have you tried the Barbie Selfie AI generator yet? I've had so much fun scrolling through Instagram looking at everyones creations. I hope Mattel keeps this going for a while so I can use it over and over. So much fun. These some of the ones I've done so far :) Moi!  My Mother :) I almost forgot to include the...

March is here already! Spring is close, although we have had back to back snowstorms in Southern Ontario. It has been pretty mild winter where I am so I really can't complain. Its going to be nice to get back out into the garden though.  My son and his family moved out last week so I am slowly putting my studio back together.  I had to pack all of my minis up out of toddlers reach. It is nice to start with an empty room and try to achieve an organized and well thought out workspace but I already have stuff all over the place!   I see all of these beautiful craft rooms and workshops on Instagram that are so neat and tidy and totally magazine worthy. I don't know one craft friend who has a totally clean workspace! My worktable is already crowded! I have started adding NEW SHOWS to the Miniature and Doll Show and Event Page. Check it out  Locally here in Ontario, the Miniaturists of Toronto have announced the date for their 2023 show. Saturday October 14th at The J...

 Happy 2023 Wishing all you Mini fans the best year ever!  My goal this year is to try sewing some Retro Barbie clothes. I haven't made outfits in at least a decade and have spent years gathering the perfect fabrics and small prints. I have also been binge watching tutorials on Youtube, especially the ones using recycled or everyday items. I can't believe how many different outfits you can make just using balloons!! My son and his family have temporarily moved in with us so I have had to put my mini making on hold for a few weeks. Too many small parts for toddlers!! I'm still taking custom orders but might not be able to do larger orders until Feb unless its something I have in stock.  I do have some vintage doll stuff on eBay though. (Need to make room for new Barbie stuff and its almost garage sale season!! Getting my wishlist ready) Speaking of Barbie, are you getting excited for the movie coming out? I am. The teaser trailer is hilarious and I hope the movie is just a...
