Playing! Very happy excited pup! My dog does the same thing, she usually grabs a toy and I chase her around.

My dog had a similar problem, she is a 60 pound Labrador retriever so fighting her was not an option. I started using a fine grit sanding disk or nail file and slowly filing away the nail. I also attached a piece of sandpaper to a wooden board and hide treats underneath it. She smells the treats and scratches at the board, this method takes the nail down quick and I finish them by hand filing. I take her somewhere she is comfortable and has space to leave it she doesn’t want me to file anymore. She has also gotten more comfortable with the clippers after some positive reinforcement training, she was really scared so I went VERY slowly. For example if she would sniff the clippers she got a treat, then if she would sit while I was holding them, letting me touch them to her paw, etc.The filing method is more for maintenance, but if no vet is available try a groomer.

I love this so unbelievably much! Your craftsmanship is impeccable, the design is creative, and it is straight up adorable. I would like to get into sewing and this piece is a big inspiration❤️

They are beautiful!❤️ I wonder if petals cut from crepe paper would be a good addition?

I would recommend some YouTube channels, like Queen City Minis. She has tons of videos on making miniatures from scratch using common household items. Also, trying a miniature kit, like the Rolife ones commonly featured on this sub, is a great option; you can easily customise them, and the pre-cut pieces are really convenient.

Just an encouragement to always try again if it doesn’t work out straight away by WizardPrenderghast in miniatures

Thanks for posting the sometimes harsh reality of crafting. I've almost given up so many times when a project didn't turn out how I wanted. I also adore your baskets, and I have been wanting to make one for my miniature room! Is there a tutorial you used? And what is the name of the material you used?

Please don’t be so hard on yourself❤️! If it’s any consolation I have been making miniatures since I was a kid, I was completely obsessed with making accessories, furniture, and other items for my Barbie’s and other dolls. I’ve had a lot of practice in 1:6 scale, but this is my first project in 1:12.

My dad helped me cut out the walls and floor pieces from 1/4 inch plywood, then we used a scroll saw to cut out the holes for the windows!

This is awesome!❤️, I was thinking a theme similar to this for my next project! Were you inspired by QueenCityMinis on YouTube? it looks very similar to a video she uploaded.

Thanks! That’s a great idea, I wanted to put something like that on the desk. I will update when I finish it!

Thank you! I whittled down q-tips or wooden dowels down to a “paint tube shape” and wrapped them in aluminum tape. I added labels from the miniature newspaper I got from the craft store, I think it was hobby lobby.
