Miss Mini thinks this house belongs to her and she is looking very carefully at the build to see if its up to standard

I didnt put up my finished Art room better late than never I guess, so here it is

New house to make

Working on a new dollhouse 

this is the top story it will be all shabby chic, 

I haven't made one of those before, so it's very exciting!

Im a bit concerned about the patch in the back wall I dropped the glue arrgghh!! 
Oh well never mind I can put a picture up over one of them mmm might have to redo that wallpaper
Not sure what to put on the roof probably a light grey tile I'm thinking after looking at photos of Shabby chic houses.

 

Mouse House

Our group is making a mouse house made up of different boxes so it's been fun using anything we can find as mice tend to pick up all sorts of things

So here is my box it is 8"x 7" x 6"  still have a bit more to do,

the walls of the box have corrugated iron newspapers and wallpaper

Gran is sitting crocheting, she  has her cupcake and pot of tea, there is also some knitting in Grans basket

while Minny has come to ask Gran what to do next with her knitting she is looking up at the ceiling because she spied a spider she is about to tell Gran

What do you think about Grans favourite chicken ! lol

Happy Christmas!

I found a new Miniature Group in my city I have been searching for one since I came to live here 15 years ago 

Isn't it funny I decided to sell off all my minis downgrade a bit as I have so many crafts here half finished  (you didn't see me write that! lol)

Winter is almost over so its back to work!

Oh Dear I cant believe its been that long since I have been here to check out the blog

What has happened to me LOL 

I have been laying low over winter but more than usual it seems

Havent done a lot but as of 2 weeks ago I began to organise the house!

 my real house that is!

I have been on pinterest for a while now and have had a wonderful time searching out all sorts of things and found a lot of utubes on Organising your home 

So I have been buying some baskets and storage bins to really get into it and sort the lot out!

What a job it is and Im still going!

I have also finished a half house for the BMEA this year to raffle and have sent it off I am just looking to start the Fairy Dollhouse that I saw on "Cinderella Moments" Blog a while ago

I wanted  to copy so badly but I knew that would not be fair on Caroline so, as she  had a couple of Pdfs thankfully, I wanted to buy 1 set of instructions from her

Im glad I did Im going to need them!!!

 I made up some wheat bags for us its quite cold at night here right now and we dont run heaters at night so these are very handy

Then I began  making some bedding in 1/12th scale still working on those,now its tea time so Im just about to go put the dinner on

So thats about it folks!

Doll Show

I checked my facebook this morning and I was surprised to see that the Doll show was on up here so I wasnt missing out on that sadly there was only 1 shop selling minis but I found a couple of things

 

 I have been searching for a sink unit with a butlers sink and what did I find?

  I was so pleased it cost $12

 there is no sink drain hole I'll have to fix that and I want it a different colour

this is the one I would have loved to find but have been searching a while sadly cant find it

 

 I found these 2 kits for $4 each

Beds

I  have been making some bed linen for a couple of beds my mini friend Judy made

I cant keep on the one thing till its finished it seems

 Judys Bed

My bed is being made for the Mill not sure they look quite right though!!

Too neat ? do you think?

Tudor roombox

well I have to own up that I do make these things but never really finish them off to the standard I would like. 
eg: door handle, roof, light, front hinged on with a window so I thought I better get it done

 

The Box

 

This is where I am puting a light just setting it in there it will have 2 AA batteries in a box at the back

 I learned from Casey to make plans so here are my plans for the front window it may be a little too big so I will see how it looks when I have the actual front cut out

  I may put some shutters on as well but not sure if I will have enough room, maybe I should just cut the windows out  and add the shutters on the front,i would be easier!

mmm any suggestions would be appreciated
