Inside additions

James has also been busy inside, adding storage to their tiny home. (I guess that's why he hasn't gotten any wood chopped yet!) First, there's the shelf over the window which holds the home canned goods. (The liquid in the jars isn't dry yet.) The jars have rounded rims which look like the glass jars with wire bails to seal them. I added a clear plastic punch out lid and made the wire bails from thin wire. When dry you'll see 2 jars of green beans, 1 of carrots, and 1 of beets.
Then there's the peg rack by the fireplace. The broom hangs there.
And, finally, there's a shelf/peg rack combination over the bed. That gives storage for nightwear, boxes, etc. (All still to be made.) You can also see the inside of the door latch. When the latch string on the outside is pulled, the latch lifts so that the door can be opened. When you are inside and want to "lock" the door, you simply pull the latch string inside.

Thanks for the idea and tutorial, Casey!

Casey has inspired me to dig through my no longer needed personal supplies and my plan is to make some canisters today. Pictures to follow later...

It was a busy weekend of graduation parties and miscellaneous chores. I stayed up late to make a couple of things for my dollhouse just because I was desperate for some mini time.

Everyone needs a spot to hang her purse or tote bag so I added a peg rack/shelf by the door. There's a bill waiting to be mailed on the shelf. Even mini people have to be responsible, lol. The tote bag was a fun and easy project. I'll post a tutorial for that sometime soon.

I also made a paper towel dispenser for the kitchen - many of you have probably made the same type of thing from a simple craft stick and toothpick.
