More minis and virus warning!

Good evening! Since your last visit, we have had high winds for 2 days NONstop! that can sure work one down, the wind just pounding on the windows and walls!
Oh and a virus that i think i picked up on one of my searches for miniatures!! Can you believe that someone would do that? hard to believe that people make those viruses and then to attach them to something popular! Never ceases to surprise me, the lengths that some will go!! This virus was called "Vista Internet Security 2010".
Luckily my DH called Microsoft and then was told to call AVG since the virus attached itself to that, it was telling me that i had "infections" on my computer and should download such and such to "clean it up" and when DH called to find out why this thing just popped up in the midst of doing something (and it closed out ANY pages i had open!!) he was told it was a virus and NOT to download anything! and then they kindly proceeded to help him remove it from our computer!
We have had so much fun with making our own miniatures. and i have compiled quite an impressive list of tutorials on making everything from mini photo albums to mini windchimes, and just about everything in between!! hehe
Here's a photo of the potting soil table my sweetie just whipped up with no instructions or patterns!

He put the cooking pot, that i made, on it but didn't have the lid on right! lol
Oh and my mini roses are not quite done, they still need leaves!
Here is the photo album.

I love those miniatures you're making! The scratching post just cracks me up!!! I think the Kisses came out great, I could tell what they were right off.

Sorry about that virus. You are right, the hackers stick them in places where unsuspecting people go. I noticed a lot of the primitives sites have them now, and the poor ladies who own the sites have no idea. I really can't stand hackers, so destructive and mean.

I am enjoying on the mini things you are making and everything is so well done:) The kisses look so tiny!
Sorry about the virus. Why someone wants to do that is beyond me.
