The Slow Life Café is finally open , which means it’s time to move on to my next big build!
If you missed the opening, here’s the link:
When I first started this kit, it was simply called Slow Life Café. But somewhere along the way, it became something a little more personal—a tiny café inspired by a real place in Siargao, filled with details that reminded me of the island, the people, and the slow, easy pace of life by the sea.
It took more than a month, but the café is finally ready.
[2293d911-f417-47e6-8a98-21c090311429]
The rainy season had other plans for my grand opening, so while the little café sat waiting, I kept …
But before I dive into the Wisdom Stationery Shop , I squeezed in a little in-between build first—a mini-brick Ferris wheel .
And because real life doesn’t stop just because there’s a new miniature kit waiting on my table, I’ve also managed to squeeze in a bit of actual work along the way.
But tonight, I’m starting something new.
Wisdom Stationery Shop, here I come!

Thanks, @Nita_Davis . Probably not this one since it already has too much going on inside … which I love about this kit. I think I’ll put my creative energy into the autumn and winter builds instead—I already have a few ideas brewing!

I love this hobby @Grey74 … but have to remind myself, I have to work, too so I can afford this hobby … though I really wish I could do this more often.

@Gidge yep! Work ruins things and makes it possible. What a life. Why couldn’t I be born independently wealthy???
