I was going through a very rough time back in July and I felt the need to do something different than my usual routine of work and home. I stopped by at a local Homesense store and found the Sunshine Town Kit. As a crafter of all things, I thought let’s try doing Miniatures…. and so I did! For the first time in such a long time my mind felt quiet and I was able to focus on a task. I felt at peace for hours on end and I started building kits whenever my time allows. I am now taking it slowly, and it does help in the end of the day to have this alone and quiet time for myself, I always look forward building and listening to music, or watching a movie or putting on an audio book.
What a beautiful post! Thanks for creating this idea and also for sharing your own lovely story.
In my case, the three kits I’ve finished so far have a special place in my heart.
The first of them, the Seahorse Barque, is really meaningful for me because my father and grandparents made me love the sea and enjoy the pirate adventures, stories and movies.
Then we have the Glittering Water Lily and the Classic Carousel. Both of them were gifts for loved ones (the first one for my mum, who loves flowers more than anyone I’ve ever met, and the second one to my partner, since she’s a carousel lover and she found in it a cute design for the Christmas decorations).
Awwww, yay! Your story is making me smile so much! I love how each of your finished kits holds a special place in your heart, and the reasons behind them are just beautiful!
It’s so clear that you’re a total sentimental crafty, and I am HERE FOR IT!!! I love that your dad and grandparents sparked a love for the sea in you, family traditions like that are the best! And gifting those kits to your loved ones? That’s just the most thoughtful thing! Your mom must be totally thrilled with the Water Lily, and your partner is one lucky gal to score that gorgeous carousel You put your heart into these gifts, and it shows!
What can I say? I try to give everything I do a purpose, no matter how big or small that purpose is. Like the Dream Gift Factory I’m finishing now, that’s nothing special in regards of past meaning and is not a gift to anyone, but Christmas season is coming, this is the first one I’ll spend with my partner and I want to make a difference (no matter how small that difference is) regarding our home decoration. That’s special enough for me
Thank you for sharing this. Sunshine Town is such a special kit, and it’s wonderful that it brought you calm during a difficult moment. I also have builds that helped me through hard times, so your story really resonates with me. Miniatures can be such a peaceful space
Thank you for sharing! I’m so so glad you foundd solace in these kits just like so many of us! Sunshine Town Book Nook is really special to me too because I made it when I was recovering from surgery.
Aww, that’s so sweet! I love that you’re putting extra thought into making this Christmas special with your partner. Creating something meaningful and handmade has always been my favourite thing to give and receive. I like the Dream Gift Factory, I honestly want one too! Also that is such a lovely way to celebrate your first Christmas together! What’s your partner’s style like? Are you going for a specific theme or vibe with your decorations?
thank you for sharing your thoughts! I’m so glad that the craft also give you calmness when you needed it too, and it’s beautiful that we can connect over our shared love for miniatures as a source of peace
Amazing! Creating something so special during a tough time is truly a testament to your strength and resilience(I mean… all the light wiring lol). Sending you all the positive vibes and happy thoughts your way Can’t wait to see what other magical creations you come up with!
That’s adorable, I would love my mom to get into this craft but she’s always on the go
Giving your mom something handmade makes it extra meaningful. And I totally agree, being crafty can be super therapeutic and fun! Do you have a favourite craft or medium that you enjoy the most besides the miniatures?
