Welcome - belated again!

I must welcome Leanne and Preble, the newest followers of this blog (neither of you list your blogs, please let me know if you have one)

.  I apologize that it is rather belated.  But it is nonetheless sincere.  Thank you for joining our group. and taking the time to sign on as a Follower.  I truly appreciate it very much.  I am so happy to have people to share my thoughts and meanderings with others online.  I wish I had people to share with among my family but apart from them looking (sometimes) at the different buildings or showing them to the grandchildren, there isn't anyone with the interest to talk about those things that we miniaturists love to talk about.  So this is the alternative for me, and I really, really love looking at the work that so many of you show on your own blogs.

I am inspired by your lovely creations and although I can't dream of achieving the wonderful woodworking that some of you do, I aspire to improve with my miniature-making.  Don't always achieve any improvement, but I am trying.  Very trying, my husband would say if he wasn't such a kind and loving man! I look at the effects you achieve and am encouraged to try to make my projects more interesting.

So thank you, my friends, for your encouragement through your comments and your inspiration through showing your work on your blogs!
