What’s New in My Miniature World

Hello everyone,

How are you all? I hope you’re having a lovely week. Today I’m excited to share a little peek into what has been happening in my miniature world lately. Over the past weeks, I’ve been working on a variety of new miniatures; each one different, detailed, and such a joy to create. 

I’ve also had quite a number of wonderful visitors at My Miniature World Museum. It always warms my heart to see the look of wonder on their faces as they explore my dolls’ houses and miniature creations.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting more with tiny accessories and decorative pieces, so my workbench has been buzzing with new little projects, each one full of detail and personality. Some are for an upcoming display at The International Dolls Houses and Miniature Fair in Expo Houten, The Netherlands. Yes, people… I will be exhibiting there in January 2026! Others are for future museum projects, and a few were simply born from sudden inspiration and curiosity.

I started off with some lovely kits by Jane Harrop that I brought home from the DHN Show in Arnhem. The first piece was the cutest nostalgic vintage Swiss jewellery box. I added delicate hand-painted floral details to give it that timeless, old-world touch. 

Then came the adorable Scotty dog bookends; even sweeter than I imagined! 

And of course, the tiny 1:48 scale dolls’ house, a miniature treasure that required patience, steady hands, and plenty of love.

I also got a new toy… a laser cutter!

 I tested it by cutting an SVG file and made the sweetest dolls’ house cupboard, which will soon take its place inside The Mouse House. I can already tell that this massive machine is going to open up a whole new world of possibilities.

Then I moved on to some furniture pieces for a big upcoming project. I made, painted and upholstered the elegant swan chairs to perfection.

I also made round tables that I gilded with gold leaf and finished with hand-painted marble tops

I also created a beautiful rose fireplace that I absolutely adore.

But without doubt, the most challenging and rewarding piece from these past weeks has been my miniature dome Ballerina Clock. Inspired by the vintage German clocks by W. & A. Schmid-Schlenker from the 1960s, this design required a lot of thinking and planning. I wanted to capture the delicate detail and elegance of the original while giving it my own artistic touch. From sketching the concept, choosing the correct colours, designing the tiny details, and assembling the final piece. Every step demanded precision. Seeing it finally come together was incredibly satisfying, and I’m truly proud of how it turned out.

This weekend, I will be going to the Kensington Dollshouse Festival Christmas Show in London. This time, I’m going as a visitor, and I plan to enjoy every moment of it. I’m sure I’ll be bringing home a few lovely goodies!

So this is all for today. I hope you enjoyed this little update and the miniatures I’ve been working on. Make sure to stay tuned for the next update and the latest news from My Miniature World.

Take Care and See You Soon.

Hugs,
