After being horribly sick for several weeks, I've finally picked up on miniatures again and have almost caught up with my to-do list.  Almost.

Most of these are available at my Etsy.

These are wonderful! :D *is in awe and slightly jealous of your skills*

...you know, it never really occurred to me to wonder what polar explorers did about such things. Outhouses and latrines sound like a really bad idea. Eesh.

And, huzzah for Manor House! It's just so wonderful.

Thank you!

I can't imagine how they would dig through the permafrost etc. to make a latrine. Maybe they just dug a hole in the ice! Like an ice fishing shack. Though that would be kind of far from the hut, which is also a bad idea. Still, I used an outhouse in Alaska, near the arctic circle in winter. It wasn't that bad (though I had to hack ice away from the door to get it to open and shut.) But it wasn't a blizzard. Apparently a lot of people in rural Alaska use outhouses, enough to know that you should put lime in it to prevent peesicles and poosicles.

Huzzah! I love it. My chamber pot looks just like the one the two footmen shared.

I absolutely love the jars, and your idea of using old tacks for the candlesticks is a stroke of genius. Well done!

That turquoise set looks so very appealing--and that's a lot coming from me since I often don't like turquoise, but I can't help but be charmed by these.

The "pottery" jars are very convincing, I wouldn't have guessed had you not said!

Thanks! Gasp, how can you not like turquoise?? So I guess that should be an even extra thank you!

Hooray!
