My nursery roombox

Welcome to Martie's Minis

I'm Martie and I want to welcome you to my web site. I love creating and collecting dollhouse miniatures. I have been a miniaturist for about 20 years off and on. In the past 5 years, I have returned to my passion of creating room boxes and other miniature delights.

I love to make miniature pieces for friends and family as special gifts. This web site contains pictures and instructions on how I made many of these miniature projects and current projects I am working on. I hope you will enjoy reading about my projects and the instructions provided.

Rodney's Bait and Tackle Shack PDF Print E-mail

Rodney working on the bait and tackle shopMy hubby's neurologist gave me the idea of working with Rodney to create a miniature scene centered around something he liked doing. Rodney has always liked to go fishing at our coastal area. So, the idea came for making a bait and tackle shack such as would be found on a small pier in the waterway.

Okay, I admit I am a sucker for a good sale. Especially when the sale price is some of the miniature buildings I have always wanted. For some unknown reason, A.C.Moore has reduced the price of their miniatures and dollhouses. They REALLY reduced each component of the "Street of Shops" by Houseworks.

Smith Family Cookout 2008 PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 05 July 2008

When my cousins come to down from the "left" coast, it's time to break out the grill and have a family reunion/cookout. Many times when we have these, we have games and prizes donated by various family members. A few years ago, I made a music box that contained a miniature scene of a parlor with miniature pictures of our parents and grandparents. My cousins put their names in for a drawing and one cousin took home my miniature scene. The winner was my cousin Gail from Portland OR.

Kennedy's Nursery PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 29 January 2008

Finished NurseryWhen I got word that a co-worker and dear friend and his wife would get their fondest wish, the adoption of Kennedy, their baby girl from China,  I started thinking about what I could give Chris and his wife, Tracey in the way of a baby gift.  I wanted something special. Something that would be a part of me.
