The other night John and I decided to try something different in the evening.
We both have miniatures to assemble – he has a miniature wooden antique car 3D puzzle to assemble, and I have a miniature bookshop that my stepson bought me as a gift to assemble.
So after dinner we went to my studio and sat at my studio table with the Denver Nuggets basketball game on and perhaps a whiskey (sometimes you need a “crafting cocktail”) and got to crafting for the evening!
Here is John working on his project (which had like a million pieces, ha!):
And here I am with mine:
Luckily we had our new glue gun we found at Costco as we had several incidents where tiny pieces broke as were were trying to connect them.
The Glue Gun saved our sanity!
It was a pretty fun evening, I think we crafted for like 4 hours. We are going to do this on a regular basis during the late Fall and Winter season.

This is such a great idea! It’s fun being creative together.
That’s an amazing looking glue gun. I use mine so rarely, but it comes in handy.

Thank you it was an awesome evening. I am not a fan of glue guns but I like this one we found at Coscto.

It looks unique. I’ve burned the tips of my fingers so many times over the years. When I worked in a costume shop during my college years, the glue guns were extremely hot. The retail versions have gotten much better.

That is a very good question! Well we think we will display them on a shelf – I will display mine on my bookshelves in our home library and John will put it on a shelf in this “man-cave” in the basement 🙂
