One of our co-workers is leaving. My friend had the idea to make her a miniature office in a lantern. Her husband made the desk from wood and wants to try more, she got the carpeting and looked for some electronic devices (our co-worker is in IT) and helps him. I made some ring binders (a bit smaller than one inch) and crocheted/knitted a waste paper basket. I will share another picture once the lantern is complete.  |

What an amazing idea. Speaking of amazing, those binders and the trash basket are too! They are so tiny and perfect. Can't wait to see the finished lantern!  Dawn |

Her husband had put a fairy door into a lantern for her and they added some accessories. She's a big fan of year round decorations and has always loved lanterns of all kinds. That's how she got the idea. I had the idea for the ring binders and basket. We make a great team, I think. If there were more space in the lantern, we'd probably be unstoppable.
The only thing I put my foot down on was another co-worker's idea to put one of my dolls in there. They take too long to just give them away. So I looked for dollhouse dolls and must say some of them are just creepy and the pretty ones were too expensive. We decided it's fine without a doll.

Oh no, your dolls are much too beautiful and detailed and you work too hard on them to use them for a project like this. Besides, it seems like they'd be too big to fit inside a lantern. The lantern diorama will be just perfect without a doll inside. Glad you put your foot down on that suggestion! Dawn |

With the size that the desk got, they would be too big. Being able to find a doll, even a resin one sitting down, would have been fun, but I think our co-worker will just have to shrink herself  |

Amazing and fun! Yeah a definite veto on using one of your dolls. I’ll be eager to hear the details when the gift is presented.

Not your dolls of course. If at all perhaps small dolls, like the ones I found in my grandkids' "Kinder" chocolate eggs. But I think there is no need for that here.
