TY for the kind comments. It looks like I've done nothing to fulfill my dream of making micro cloth pots. Shame on me!
Turbo, I'm so much farther south than you are, the details of my mini can't be of as much use to you as you could get by asking for the experience of others in your climate/location/house-type situation. And I welcome your company in this discussion, but if you decide to ask your own questions, more people will see your questions in a new discussion, and your questions will get the separate attention they deserve.
Most of the plants I showed can survive outside here, in the right spot, but I don't think that would be the same where you are. You can also use the database here to find plants suitable for mini gardening, and select from those the ones that might be hardy where you are, if doing a permanently outside mini garden is your goal.

If you plan to bring inside for winter, look for those that don't need as much sun. Most of the plants suitable for mini gardening seem to be of the generally succulent type, so cactus/succulent forum is also a good place to ask for information about specific plants.
