another mini -

but it's much too large for the Halfling Hideaway house.  Drats!  At least it was easy to put together and I'll make another after the next couple of projects are out of the way.... 
There's even a fire in the stove -- a little bit of plastic upcycled for a flame colored using alcohol markers and the wood is from a branch that's been drying for a couple of years and was to be used for another project that I just never got around to.  I need to size the pattern down a bit more - probably 50% from the original.  This is at 75% of the original 1:12 size.  It's just a bit too tall even without the stand.  So maybe my next iteration will fit in the house and the straw stovepipe will still be a good fit into the chimney.  

I will keep this one as a reminder that it doesn't hurt to try something you've never done before and it can be a good experience.  The svg pattern is a bit pricey -- I'm not sure I can justify purchasing too many more, though if making miniatures does become a new hobby I'll be delving into more fully, a few more patterns that could be adapted might be a good investment.  And not having to cut a lot of pieces by hand and letting the machine do the cutting for me did help keep the arthritis flare at bay.
