| Mini Dollhouse Project |
 |
|
Lianda from Kelirosh Studio down in Port Elizabeth will be
sharing a minature dollhouse project with us. This project
will be delivered in our monthly newsletter, each month
featuring another lesson.
Without further delay.. here is the first installment of
our minature dollhouse project! Enjoy.
What an amazing, creative week I have had. I even managed a
quick trip to East London, to photograph my Mom, Beverley
Immerman's extensive collection of miniatures for one of the
UK miniature magazines. We will shortly be adding these
incredible historical houses to our web site - there is a bit
of everything in her collection, from an authentic
reproduction of the RSPCA building, based on the original
building in Jemina St London as it was in 1869 to a recreation
of the last 'Jack the Ripper" victim. There is even a large
collection of vintage and new Sylvanian Families. Currently my
Mom has in excess of 59 miniature projects scattered around
the house and in her studio - these are only some of the more
than 90 houses and dioramas she has done over the last 14
years.

Welcome to the Get Crafty Advertisers Newsletter. For those
of you who don't know me - My name is Sonja Marnewick, owner
of the www.getcrafty.co.za Crafts Directory. I have been a
crafter all my life, and have hosted craft markets, craft
workshops and I'm an avid crafts buyer :). I'm 34 years old,
and I live in Pretoria, Gauteng. I have one child, Alexis and
I'm married to Steven.
I started GetCrafty on October 2006, after struggling for
hours to get information about crafters and crafts in South
Africa, and realising there is a real need for the crafters
information to be collated into one place, for easy access to
people like me, looking for supplies, workshops, products and
ideas.. and that's how Get Crafty was born!
True to form, we have grown tremendously, and advertisers
receive enquiries on a very regular basis. If you are one of
those crafters playing around with the idea of selling your
crafts, give me a call, this directory is not only for shops
and suppliers, but also for us humble crafters that has great
ideas, and can really make money from selling it!
Enjoy this edition of our newsletter, it is packed full of
great ideas, recipes and articles hand picked especially for
you! Visit Get Crafty
