I’m at my little childrens’ house, babysitting. Dylan, the 4 year old and I are watching Tom and Jerry. The house wife is wearing slippers and an apron and it made me think of my mini house. Also the fact that Tom is a cat made me think of my kittens.

As I sit here thinking, I’m thinking about the design. I’m no good at drawing, and would love something 3D, but haven’t found a computer program for that. And so, suddenly I realized I could make a diorama! I’m going to make a mini house with a shoe box and card board. I will design everything! Kitchen, where the bed and table will go, where my porch will be, and the little steps I’m going to make for my cats to get up to the loft, because they won’t be able to use a ladder, but they are good jumpers. Also, they will like perches for looking outside.

This is very exciting, and I like crafts! It will give me something to do, and it’ll be good for me to design what I want.
I’m think I will do one inch = one foot, but two inches might be more realistic. Then I won’t have to work with such small spaces. But it should be to scale so I can see where everything will fit.
I’m also only going to use things from the house, I won’t go out and buy any dilly craft things. We have glue, cardboard, and lots of boxes. I’m sure Megan has craft stuff in her room, and I have all my scrapbooking things I abandoned years ago (this blog is my new scrapbook. It’s cheaper, and doesn’t waste paper!)

I will take pictures throughout the process. I’m sure my mom will love me setting up a craft table in the living room! Ha!
