Susan's Handmade Miniatures and Adirondacks

08/09/2023

Hello! I am having difficulties with Etsy - they suspended my shop because I need to put in my tax ID (which I have) but nothing seems to be working?! And I have searched the site and have googled but cannot find any way to contact them through either email or phone. So I may have to close the shop out of frustration. And I have been there since 2008! I have devoted several hours trying to figure it out. I am not very good with computers to begin with and with no way to contact Etsy about this, I am floundering. Does anyone have any idea of another site that I can create a shop? I have all this stuff! here! Thanks!!

We can't WAIT to see you all this Saturday!!!

I just finished this bedroom set and let me tell you! I had to make four shades before I was happy with the result! I’m not putting this in my Etsy shop because I will be doing a fair in May in Enfield, CT (more information as it gets closer to the date) and will be putting my shop on ‘vacation’ later this month. In an effort to kind of clean out, I will be lowering all the prices from my Etsy shop prices. I’m running out of space to store stuff. Maybe some of you are close enough to come see me in Enfield?? Excuse the dusty piano!

Yikes! It looks like the first picture is a bit out of the picture! Sorry!

Hello. I just finished this doll and put her in my Etsy shop. Take a look when you get a chance! I do love making these dolls though I know they aren’t the ‘norm’ for what people are looking to habitat their doll houses. Oh, well! They make me happy to work on - or should I say play with? I have been working on a knit bridal dress so that may be the next doll I make.

This 1:12-scale doll is completely handmade. The head is made with a wooden bead and hand-painted with acrylics; the sweater, hat with flowers and purse are knit with teeny-tiny needles; the (paddle) hands and shoes made with polymer clay. With a bit of finagling she can stand on her own. Her arms

I just finished and listed this little twin bed. I couldn't resist the dog fabric!

A cute little twin-size bed for a child doll. Especially if you love dogs like I do! The doll pictured (not part of the listing) is 4 1/2” tall to give you an idea of how a small doll would fit. Everything is handmade from scratch. The bed measures 6” long, 3 3/8” wide and the headboard is 2 3...

I’m almost done with my Advent Calendar box! Hoping to get the base done and the tree today. I’ve been working on the little treats for inside the boxes; still have a few to make! But! I may actually finish this in time to get it into my Etsy shop! 🤞

11/12/2021

I’ve got more done on the advent calendar. There will be shingles down the side of the red roof and a wreath in the center of the red. Today is a miserable, rainy day so a good day to be working on what is going behind the little doors! So far I have knit a few dolls, a teddy bear, and a teapot cozy. Today will be for making wood pieces and tree ornaments. It has been a fun project! And very much a learning one!

Can you guess what I am making?

I just finished this bed for my Etsy shop. Take a look and see what you think! It was a challenge, but always fun!

My niece and nephew are beekeepers so when I found this bee fabric I thought what fun it would be to make a honey-bee themed bed! I researched what flowers honey bees are most attracted to and painted a few of them on the headboard. I have never made a platform bed before, so it took a bit of

This is the first time I have made a football bed. It was interesting. I wanted originally to try and make a headboard that was like goal posts but I couldn't find a material that worked well. So! I went with the helmet. Hope it looks okay!

This is the first (possibly only?!) football bed I have made. A good workout with my scroll saw! A fun bed for a child’s room in your dollhouse or room box. It was certainly a fun project for me! The bed measures 6 1/2” long, 3” wide, and 4 3/8” high to the top of the helmet. Measure your sp...
