One thing I love about miniatures is how one day you can be a book maker, and then the next day you can be a candle maker. I might never get bored again!
I spent the afternoon yesterday, burning tea-lights and hand dipping candles. LOL, I know, I could of found an easier way to do this, however, I have (lol, had...)an abundance of tea lights, so I thought I'd put them to good use. So.....here's the view from my lap, You know my helper is always close by!! I still don't understand how he made it through it with all his whiskers, but he did.....He's just too nosey!!
Any guesses as to what those little balls in the next picture are??? I'll give you a hint....It's rolled up moss in candle wax.........And there is a point to it, but I'm not going to tell you just yet.......I wanna figure out what I did with my book first, don't want to be giving ya'll any wrong information!! LOL So, for now, take a wild guess! :) Oh.....I also borrowed a few of the kids crayons and added some to the wax to get the different colors~ there's dark orange and black in my next batch. More pictures to follow later.....

First, Ohhhhh Otis. You are so cute- glad you still have wiskers you naughty boy. I am so curious about the moss balls- whatever could they be? The candles are super duper cute Katie!!
OMG ACTUAL mini candles!!! I LOVE it! May I borrow this fantastic idea. I have about a bazilion tealights too, I love the clay candles, but this is just fabulous!
Love those little candles. I'll just have to give that a try! What did you use for the wicks?
Those candles are looking great! Very clever to be hand dipping them.

Moss-wax-balls? I have no idea LOL!
Love Otis though, wish my kittycat was a lapnapper...
This will be interesting to see what will become of the moss/wax balls! And that Otis! Funny.
