I have been trying to finish Millers Garden for months. I have a vision of Dora’s Loft leading into Millers Garden. Which means a bit of home renovation for Dora.
With my brothers passing from early onset Alzheimer’s and not being able to return to for the memorial due to my husbands frail health (and my support friend traveling in Alaska during this time) I’ve been a mess….. just like Millers garden.
So I ordered miniature silk flowers and foliage as I’m not a fan of the paper stuff, and may rebuild some of the cardboard flower boxes from wood.
I’ve got a stash of builds crying out to me so send me some flower power to get this done!
Sending you lots of flower power and warm hugs. I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother. It’s completely understandable that building has been difficult with everything you’ve been carrying.
I love your vision of connecting Dora’s Loft to Miller’s Garden,it sounds like it’s going to be such a beautiful and meaningful project. The silk flowers and wooden flower boxes sound like wonderful upgrades too. Take your time with it. The kits will still be there when you’re ready, and I’m sure Miller’s Garden will bloom beautifully when the time feels right.
@kialo sending my deepest sympathy… to you and your family
Go back to this when your ready im like you
I do not like paper flowers i order plastic ones from temu or shein …
@kialo you definitely have had a hard time lately, and I am sorry you are going through this right now. The good about this hobby is it allows us to escape even just for a little bit and get lost in creating. Stay strong and I know you will come out better after all of this.
Your idea to swap out the paper for miniature silk flowers and build wooden boxes is pure genius! Sending you the biggest hug and lots of positive energy as you work on bringing this beautiful, healing space to life
Kudos to you for being able to do them at all. I’m not having the roses in mine. I have plenty of those other little fake ones from a different kit. The ones that look like lilacs.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Please be gentle with yourself. Your builds will still be there when you’re ready, and I think your vision for Miller’s Garden and Dora’s Loft sounds absolutely beautiful.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a brother is damned hard to cope with, and to not be able to get to the funeral is doubly hard.
I don’t blame you for not being able to finish the build, especially when your head is not in the game. Do what you need at this time even if it walking away from building.
I’m sorry for your loss. Even though you’re feeling like a mess, I think you’re doing a great job. Changing up the flowers and foliage seems like a very nice idea. I would not be able to make them either, due to lack of patience for that.
