#espresso #cake was today's #baking past time. Twas good. I made 2 pans, froze one and, well, we are eating the other. #shelterinbaking #yummy #bakersofinstagram #baker #bakeacake #bakeaholic #mrssheckyinthekitchen #mrsshecky #bake #cakes

Furniture day #mini #style and the leader of the Cornyoak Tribe has begun to emerge from the #crafting table. None of this will be in any interior design magazine, but I'm having fun with it all. Kids could do better but I never did this as a kid; it was #Barbie's, #Easybake #ovens and riding #Schwinn's in peddle pushers. Who knew I would like it this much! The little smile of the acorn man is a natural crease in the #nut #seed so he was perfect to start with. The #table is a button and so are the chairs made with the addition of #ploymer #clay . The green set is again, made from crowns of #acorns. I'm just glad I have what I need for this #shelterinplace from #mothernature outdoors. All the rest is extra. #Rain again for the next 3 days the reports say. It's already started a bit. So, again, I'm glad I got to clean the estates up. I just wish I had brought in some logs before it started raining. I'm Hoping the rocks stay in place too, it is suppose to be a heavy pour. Stay healthy everyone 🧚‍♀️🏚️ #mrsshecky #mrssheckyminigardens #mrssheckysminihouses #miniaturegardens #minipeople #minaturefurniture #minihouses #fairyhomes #minigardens

I baked #bananabread then mixed up a #sour #cream #butter #frosting for it. Twas good. #baking #bakeaholic #bake #bananabread #bread #shelterinplace #goingtoloseweightafterthismess

The #miniaturegarden was cleaned up a bit finally. The rain really got it, but it was still there. The snails had a field day so I need to get some sand and figure that one out. Mini #conifers replaced some damaged #plants but all is good. Rock was put down for the roadways that I've had from the painted rock days and it came in handy. The bark, color and accessories now should be it, then upkeep and of course, the growth of the plants. I should have tackled one house at a time, my hands hurt. #miniaturegardens #minigardensifinstagram #fairyhomes #fairyhousing #gnomehouse #gardens #miniconifers #smallmagicalgardens #magicalgardens #M&MNursery

I saw this shoe on the internet marketplace for just a few dollars and had to have it. I got it a few days ago and I love it. You can see it is a pretty good size compared to my hand. It got planted today and the old lady now has her shoe. #mrssheckyathome #minigardensifinstagram #minifairygardens #gnomes #fairyhousing #theoldladyintheshoe #mrssheckygardens #mrssheckyisquarantinedandheryardistakingablow

The #fairy log house is outside and looking for a spot to plop begins. #fairyhomes #fairyhousing #fairyhomesandgardens #mrssheckyathome #miniaturegardens #minihouses #minihousing #imagine #becreative

There's no reason why we can't #cook #healthy during this time of sheltering in. #Soups are so simple to make and you can still have one healthy good meal. Today I made soup from carrots, a butternut squash, and scallions that needed to be cooked up. I was going to can them but decided just to freeze it because I have a feeling we will eat it sooner than later. Grab the #veggies, scallions, some celery seed, water, a bit of bouillon and throw it in a pot and cook til tender. I use an immersion blender but if you do not have one just get that potato masher out and mash it all to bits. That works too and some of those chunks of carrots are good to keep for some good texture. Serve it up with bread or a little salad and you have a pretty good healthy meal that fills you up. Tomorrow I finally get to work on the little houses in the yard. It was drier today and I was able to walk around and check most of it out. I'll finally be able to see what the rains did to the mini estates tomorrow after all this time. I'll let you all know if I need to call in the fairies to help me out. Then I have to clean my work room! Ughgh... Stay healthy folks. We are gonna party in Sheckyville when this is all over! #cooking #soup #soupsofinstagram #mrssheckyinthekitchen #foodofinstagram #food #Sheckyville #shelterinplace #stayhealthy

The #workroom and it is a mess. The rains kept me from going outside and now the #virus has me inside with all the #wood pieces I need scattered about. I can't wait to have my work table outside again. My writing desk is overwhelmed. Hopefully this week that will happen. You can see the #fairy #log house is still being worked on. I changed a couple of things but I think it is ready for a place to be finalized for tweaking. I've been working on it intermittently because I've been #canning and prepping for staying in. It's all been a crapshoot of this and that's. But then everyone has had to go through the same. Wishing everyone a good hobby and great health. #fairyhouses #hobbies #fairyhomesandgardens #workroom #fairygardens #miniaturegardens

From the first day of #Spring a bunch of beauties. A bit late in posting but they are still pretty #flowers still. Rise up, be patient, stay smart, stay calm and enjoy nature.

After finally going to the store, I found a couple of things, but I knew they had to be canned to be good. So I've spent the last couple of days doing just that. The less time in the stores the better and since the stores are trying to replenish a bit more, there's no need to hoard. This to shall pass. Sending all peace and hopeful thoughts. Don't let it take you down. #mrsshecky #mrssheckyintgekitchen #canning

After a couple of days getting things together for the hunkering down, a #bench was made and a few other things I've yet to post but will shortly. Moving things inside because of the rain wasn't fun either. I haven't been able to get on the hill to check out the #mini estates. I hope they are ok. We still have some more rain due. But I like the way the bench turned out so far. I think it needs cushions. #fairygardens #fairyhousing #fairyhomesandgardens #mrssheckyinthegarden #diyhome #miniaturegardens #minigardensifinstagram #minigardens #fairies #fairyhomes

Today 2 outdoor lights went on. I've had this mini drill from the egg carving days so it came in handy for those small holes. I made them with acorns from the yard and grey pearls from the jewelry making days. I'm working on the rest but the rain has got to go so I can get it in the pot so I'm into the furniture now... #minigardensifinstagram #minigardens #fairyhousing #fairyhomesandgardens #fairygardensofinstagram #fairyhouse

Day 3 in the #1 log house. This is the fun part, the details. I'm far from done but a lot got accomplished. I'm planning to put this in a pot with real greenery. It is heavy. #fairyhousing #fairyhomesandgardens #fairygardensofinstagram #fairygardens #miniaturegardens #mrssheckyathome #mrssheckyinthegarden

The roof is on. Took all day gluing. I had to go down and buy an industrial glue gun because my minigun was absolutely no good on this project. But I like the outcome so far. Next are doors and windows and doodads. #fairyhousing #minigardens #gardens #mrssheckyinthegarden #diy #homemade

Today was a prep day for the rain coming in. The scrap pile of #logs was raided and this one was my pic. 2 pieces of board were cut and screwed to the top for the roof. And I grabbed some of the rim from an old log, drilled two screws on the front, and added the piece for an overhang then stained it. Now I get to be creative with doors, windows, greenery, and doodads. The pile of pine cones will be the roofing. At least that is the plan. Update tomorrow. #lovehavingtoomuchtimeonmyhands #miniaturegardens #FairyGarden #handmade #minigardensifinstagram #fairyhouse #fairyhomesandgardens #gnomehouse #imaddicted #cantstopme #donttouchmystockpiles

I made my own rock paths. I used Epoxy then tried #E6000 to set mini rocks. Both worked, but the fastest was E6000. It was a bit sticky but just leave it overnight for a good cure. If it's still a little sticky put a little dirt on it; it's going to be in it anyway so brush it off and it'll be smooth. #mrssheckygsrdens #minigardens #stonepathways #FairyGarden #fairyhomesandgardens #mybackhurts

#minifairygarden update. I did a lot of #planting today in the #gardens rearranging, planting, and gluing down the houses on a little log slice. That way it'll be easier to take up when it rains and during the winter. I need mini bark and a bunch of little doodads now that I have to get out of storage and start playing. Then I start making the houses out of a whole bunch of logs I found. Can't wait to do that. Stay tuned. #mrssheckyinthegarden #miniaturegardens #gardens

Another #Cake from the #maryberry Fast Cakes #cookbook. #athomebaker #mrssheckyintgekitchen #bakeaholic #recipes

Getting some #planting on at the Estates. I figured I'd get the ground covering and some other #plants in then do the details. When all the lots are done then I get to hit my stack of logs to make some houses. There's so much I haven't thrown away and can't wait to dig through, but this slope that the estates are on is a killer on the back. Slowly... #FairyGarden #miniaturegardens #gardening #Mrs.SheckyAtHome #mrssheckygsrdens
