[Heartwarming] Secret miniature books

I have spent three weeks and one day away from home while my dad had open heart surgery. During that time I have been making various miniature items…among them are these miniature books. I have never worked with such tiny pieces and the wood is so fragile, but they turn out really cute! The tiny little gingerbread houses were a challenge, and they definitely don’t look great, but over all I love how they turned out.
This is the one with the tiny gingerbread houses..



This is a tiny Christmas China cabinet scene…

This one is the nativity scene book I shared previously.


Thank you to everyone who prayed and wished us well…we are finally in our way home! My dad is so glad to be out of the hospital…let the healing begin!
I can’t wait to immerse myself in my next build! :heart::slightly_smiling_face:

@Tkaplan it is wonderful to hear that your dad is out of the hospital and you are finally heading home together. Creating the fragile miniature books, gingerbread houses, china cabinet, and nativity scene during those three difficult weeks gave your hands something beautiful to hold onto—wishing him a steady recovery.
