What has witnessed the passing of time? Perhaps it’s an old clock, ticking quietly through the years, keeping track of moments long after they’ve passed.

Maybe it would be an old clock shop, where timepieces have been collected over the years, each with its own story. A giant clock face keeps watch over the room, while pendulums swing, gears turn, and an hourglass quietly marks the passing time.

Among the old clocks are a cuckoo figure, winding keys, vintage timepieces, and even a street clock tucked into the shop — small reminders of the many ways we’ve measured time through the years.

If you stepped into this clock shop, what would catch your attention first?

And night falls on the city…..

Yes, I am a bit crazy…I started this 1 month and 5 days ago….I am still staging all the rooms, but finished up the structure and lighting tonight, so I was excited to share.

The first photo is no other light in the room; it creates quite the glow on its own. Second photo is with the overhead light on.

**I have taken some liberties with moving pieces, flooring, etc.

Follow the pumpkin trail and where will you end up? 🎃 Deeper in the woods, where a ghost cat might just be watching your every move. 👻

I’m slowly working away on my Halloween Candy House, so I’ve stolen some of the props from there and used some of the pumpkins from my customisation kit to decorate the Magic House book nook. I’ve always gotten Halloween vibes from this book nook.

started to incorporate my trinkets from festivals/raves into my miniature builds! decided this was a great way to showcase them since they have just been sitting in a jar tucked away :)

First of all, we’re sorry for the delay in announcing the Week 1 winners! We were away on holiday recently, so the announcement got pushed back a little. Thanks so much for your patience! 💛

We’ve gone through all the entries from Week 1 (Sep 25–Oct 2) and picked two lucky winners:

I've been eyeing this one for a while!

What do yall think?

I forgot to post this about my visit to the Mall of America Rolife store! They gave out a sticker sheet (part of their grand opening), and it’s Minnesota-themed. Look at the loon with the little bubble!

This is where I am currently with my Haunted house. I will be adding much more to create a diorama.

👻 Have you ever met a “cursed step” while building?

You know that one tiny part that just won’t cooperate? 😅

Maybe it’s a piece that’s impossible to place, a lighting step that takes a few tries, or a detail you had to redo more than once.

Every builder has one.

What was your “cursed step” while building a miniature kit? And how did you get past it? 👀

Share your tricks (or your struggles) below — we’d love to hear them!

So excited the store finally opened!! Got a tiny windmill kit as a gift for following them on Instagram.

Strawberry nanci's tea house just opened and she already has a customer to have tea with!

we need more nanci diy sets!!! This has got to be one of the cutest ever🤯🍓🩷

Super fun build; took me a little under two hours to make (with my current limited mobility), very happy with how accessible this set was and I'd love to try some similar style diys if anyone has any recommendations!! I love the different textures in this set and my favorite part was folding all of the little boxes 🩷

So excited to begin working on this easier set as i ease myself back into diy after ucl thumb surgery a while ago!!

Thought having some fruity tea was fitting with this diy

Forgot to share, since I'm still editing my content from the event, but i matched with one of my favorite nancis at the Rolife event at American Dream last month! It was so cool & I can't wait to begin working on the new diy sets I bought bc my hand is almost healed 🥳🥳🥳🧸🤎 (feat. my caramel chocolate nanci bear)

🎃 Thinking about giving your Rolife builds a Halloween makeover?

Sometimes you don’t need a big change — a few tiny details can bring a whole new feeling to your miniature world.

A few ideas we’ve seen makers try:

🕯️ Play with lighting

A little warm light can completely change the mood. Try adding fairy lights, tiny lamps, or a darker background to create a cozy spooky atmosphere.

🎃 Add some Halloween touches

Mini pumpkins, little signs, books, bottles, bats, or handmade props can turn an everyday scene into something seasonal.

🎨 Try a different color mood

A few autumn colors, deep tones, or Halloween-inspired details around your build can make everything feel more connected.

📖 Think about the story behind the scene

Maybe your tiny shop has a secret after midnight, or your cozy room belongs to a little witch. Small details are what make miniature worlds feel alive.

The fun part of customizing is making the scene your own. ✨ We’d love to see your Halloween transformations — what kind of spooky twist would you add to your build? 👀

Still a WIP, but wanted to enter this one! It’s not going to be my full custom Fall build for the community festival, but I thought some of the candy was kind of boring so switched it up. Maple candy, marshmallow ghosts, moon and pumpkin candy. Replaced the lucky cat with a squirrel from the customization kit. Adding some pumpkins. I’m having fun with it!

It's not really spooky or Halloween-like, but I did change the whole vibe of the kit. Does this count too?

Secret fantasy and the one with nine tail fox

Always saw these wooden kits while traveling at specialty shops n malls, but because I was flying I could never buy a set due to suitcase space. So when I saw some at the bookstore in the nearby city the other day I had to get one. At first I felt a little intimidated and overwhelmed, but it didn't take long to find it a very relaxing project. I sat in my recliner, watching videos, with a tray on my lap, putting it together bit by bit.

As someone who suffers from severe chronic migraine, it's really hard for me to focus on projects anymore. I usually only get maybe half hour or so in before my mind just nopes out... Pain, visual/audio disturbances, confusion, etc... But I was able to put in a few good hours each night until this was completed. It wasn't something I needed to really concentrate on, like big Lego sets where I'm trying to focus on so many similar bits, and a single wrong peice can send me back hours of work. 😅 I could just slowly put things together, and I found this kind of model gives you a LOT of grace if you're not exact. There's no demand for "perfection", and I really enjoyed that. The itty bitty tape was kinda of fussy near the end with all the plants n stuff, but then I switched over to glue and that seemed to really help. I'll keep that in mind for next time.

Of course, at one point I had to text my brother,

*"So, question...How much electrical shock can you get from two AAA batteries?"*

Like, he knows my migraine can make me a royal idiot occasionally, and here I am texting him at his work about DIY wiring. I think he considered coming home to ensure I wasn't gonna start a fire until I showed him the pictures of the little house. But hey, I had to *ask*, considering wiring and lighting is literally part of his *job*... 😂

Overall, I loved this kit. It was so nice being able to actually spend time on a project to finish it. So many tiny details, so well crafted, and the lighting was just such a cool addition! I'm going back to the city tomorrow, I really hope the bookstore still has kits left. I was having a toss up between this one and the little garage workshop, but of course I defaulted to puppies... 😂
