He’s honestly the perfect fit for any miniature kits. Hahaha I still don’t own any Christmas kits oops but probably next year since I now have the dream factory. 
True! I might do some mini shopping online for figurines!

Careful with that “mini shopping online”… that’s how I ended up with a whole zoo waiting for a home in my kits 
You just have to make sure they’re the right size. For example, I bought some Jiji figures from Kiki’s Delivery Service that are huuuuuuuuge…
We cannot be trusted with our own money. It was honestly so bad I memorised my card number and all the details so nothing could stop me. But I’ve since switched banks.
Oh that’s good to know because I’ve decided to do a studio Ghibli theme because I’m a huge fan. I’m a bit scared but we will see what happens. 
I’m gonna shop for figurines.

I was working on Kiki’s Magic Emporium inspired by Kiki’s Delivery Service, but I needed to take a break because I just didn’t have the energy to be creative, I was really tired. Hopefully I can pick it back up during the holidays, after I finish the kits I want to make as Christmas gifts.
If you check on AliExpress, you’ll see there are toooons of Ghibli things!!! But if you’re looking for a Jiji, make sure to check the size first, these are the ones I got in a pack of 6, and they’re huge.

Thank you, @Nita_Davis! Honestly, I can see some flaws, especially on the table 
, but I’m realizing that once I place everything in the position where it will be seen later, I manage to hide them pretty well

I recall someone else having the same problem…with cutting it too short. I think it may have been @Jill_Francisco or @Tricia12 …maybe? We all have flaws that can be hidden (on the back side)…LOL!

Oh! Let’s see if they say it happened to them too, now I’m curious. I messed it up a bit as well, like I said, so it’s as if I had three separate pieces… and one of them will end up in the front, but I glued it as best as I could, and honestly it doesn’t show in the photo, right? That’s the idea when I put it in the frame

OMG Howl!!! And who isn’t in love with him?? I could put Jiji’s all over the house with no problem, he’s adorable!!!
And about the kit, I was setting the bar way too high for myself and my mind just wasn’t in the right place for it at that moment. It’s okay, I’ll pick it up again later

It does not. Trust me…that chandelier in my Christmas lodge is the best side I could show…LOL! Some strands have 5 links and some have 4…I was over it. So dang tiny, I couldn’t even see where I was snipping them off.

Don’t worry, I’ve realized that these mistakes are only visible to us. We know where they are because we’re the ones who made them. No one else even notices. It’s fabulous.

You have a great memory @Nita_Davis
I cut the cloth that made it too short. I had to stick the remaining piece and hide it at the back.

That’s completely fine because customising involves so much brain power haha it’s so much harder when you’re not just following the instructions. And you most definitely don’t want to be burnt out so I hope you’ll have the motivation to come back to it during your break.

I was just saying this earlier. We are our own best critic! We see things and know things that others dont even notice!

It may not seem like it, but absolutely!! I was worried because I had an idea, but I had this feeling it was going to turn out badly, and you just can’t create like that 
Let’s see if I feel like going back to it once I finish all the kits I’m planning to complete these holidays heheeh

Totally! We notice every tiny “flaw,” but no one else ever does, they just see the magic of the build!
My goodness! How creative! And I wish I had your skills, because that tablecloth is adorable - nicely done!
