home alone

Again I enjoyed being alone tonight(Tai chi for the husband)
And I don't know why, but making miniatures is a lot more fun and relaxing then.
So I began to make a dresser with a lot of drawers, Will finish it later.
I want a big one like this, to put all my crafting stuff in.
Anybody suggestions for the handles?
Maybe polymer clay that I give a silver coating.
All ideas are welcome:)

Little table

In all our stress I managed to make a little table this evening and I painted it and I finished the cabinet too, But the handles keep coming off!
What kind of glue should I use to attach aluminium to wood?
I lined the drawers and the bottom shelf with scrapbook paper and I think it has a cosier look that way!
I enjoyed making it and it relaxes me.
But my eyes are getting worse, I think I will buy a magnifiing lamp,(Help, how do you spell this?)

There is always a positive side

when we had to drive almost 600km, a few days ago, to look at the new floor we had to order, I kept myself a little bit busy in the car making this bed covering.
What else could I do?
I know it is a little bit rough, but I'm not patient enough to crochet with very fine crochet pens.

doormat and a shelf

this is all I used to make the shelve! Very simple as you can see. and the hooks are made from wire.


I had a couple hours of my own this afternoon and I enjoyed making this doormat and shelve.
It is the first time that I made a piece of furniture with cardboard and I really liked it!
I like the result to, It goes faster than with real wood and ...(much cheaper to)
The glue sticks better.
Mmmm, it relaxed me a little bit.
Because we have a little bit of misfortune in the house, but I will tell you about this later!
Bye

witch house in trouble

Today I took a look inside the witch house and I wonder how you begin a cleaning and tidying operation in a dolls house?
A few times I started doing this, but everything has this wax on it,
because the house used to move a lot in the past and I fixed everything with tacky wax, but it has become dirty and sticky now and I want to take it off. Someone any suggestions?
The picture is not very nice because I had to use the flash.

A little bit creepy :(

Isn't this a little bit creepy? A children bed, filled with body-parts?
I want to try, and make a doll, but I still have to buy some tape.
You know? Getting an award is fun, especially the first time, but it brings a lot of work to,
It was very hard to choose al the blogs, and I have forgotten how to create a link in the post, Sorry for this.
Copy paste will have to do the job! Ooh, excuse my English!!

Tulips from Holland

I receaved a lovely package from Sylvia yesterday,
She was so kind to send me a tutorial of how she makes her beautiful roses for her flowershop (http://lotjesdollshouse.blogspot.com/)
But as extra surprise she added some finished tulips to,
I thank her a lot for her kindness.
You have to visit her blog, it is so charming, especially the attic from the alcoholic!:)

A lot of strawberry's and a little cabinet

I made these strawberry's a couple of days ago, at first I didn't like them that much, but with a little varnish on them there OK for me. Maybe they are a bit to big, but they're 1st class Belgian Quality!
The cabinet has to have some finishing paint, but I will post that version later.

A table and a few magazines

I made this table all by myself and I am a little bit proud of it.
It's a little bit too big but it can go.
A few magazines where not hard to make and I love the result, just go to amazon and pick yourself some pictures, (or is this illegal??)

A fabulous book

I received this book last week and I enjoyed it already every day, It is really beautiful and everything in it well explained.
I tried to make this little childrens bed, but I must say "it looks easy but it is very difficult"
Mine is very clumsy but I don't mind. The matras is soft!
The description is in the book.

what a mess

Making miniatures is fun, but look at my desc!

paper roses

I made some paper flowers today, from a tutorial from

Lesley Shepherd.

I must say that hers look much,much better.
But they give colour

The old dresser from my witch house

This is a dresser I made a long time ago for my witch house,
I used it to present some of my new pots I made. Don't look at the dust, the chair is also an old one

little chair

first cupcake

My first cupcake ever and more cakes ( a bit smaller than the previous ones)
I don't seem to be able to get my pictures sharp.

miniatures cabbage, carrots and tomatoes

miniatures cabbage, carrots and tomatoes.
I have been making cabbage this evening, very dirty job but great fun. Yesterday I made the carrots while watching a movie, mmmm I love doing this
