Inside the Mill

I have taken a couple of photos of the inside of the Mill
But it seems my camera is showing that its now Locked..... no idea why! weird

Need a bed in here I think!

 
Bottom floor
I Have a pile of bits and piece to put together for the grinding the seed  part of this Mill but have not worked it out as yet!

Found a bed .....and made a house

Searching for the flowers I found a bed ......didnt find the flowers though

This bed I had made a while ago using a 1inch thick MDF cut to size added some white card around the sides and cut out the headboard with my scrollsaw from Balsa

I thought I will make some linens well I have made the mattress using card and batting covered with sheeting and the top sheet

Still thinking about using  this pretty mauve fabric for the quilt!


then I saw Kathryn Krieger's latest Video on making a Christmas cottage and that was the end of that other idea ! lol

This is all I have done so far its actually for a photo album but Im making it to put a candle in it for my Christmas table display tomorrow I will make the roof section I ran out of time today!

 7" x 3 1/2" base
5" x 7" walls 
cute windows all made from Paper and Card~!

I will try to finish it tomorrow after I have polished my car! Some days one has to tackle the real world stuff!!

Back to the tudor!

Have been dreaming about these stairs! goodness what a problem!
I have tried a few times
****************************************************

Thought this would work then cut out the side to make a bread shop

But No ran out of room to get the to the top! Arrgghh!!

Maybe this will work only I will have to extend the base!

This little bread shoppe will be fine I think! I may make a few of these  

****************************************************************
So not much organised today! after all that dreaming lol I will shingle the little side alley shoppe and paint it up and make some bread to sell and perhaps a few potatoes and cabbages! The Tudor is an eating house/ pub with a  meeting room
and an attic for the servants quarters!

What are your Thought on the stairs!

Baskets

I think I now realise why I gave up Minis! lol
Takes all day to make a few baskets some of which are not very good I fear!



 I think the little red and white one is less than be desired a few more bits added to the top on the ones on the left. I haven't made minis for so long I feel I'm back to square 1 again.... learner!!!  lol
