The finished bed

Here's the finished bed in front of a piece of the wallpaper I made for the room. There's a border at the top that will be used for trimming the dormer in the room. The bedspread is made from a downloaded picture and an iron on T shirt transfer. The sheets match the pillows.

Fit for a princess

I am helping a friend with a dollhouse for her twin nieces for a Christmas gift. Theresa likes to do the exterior and I prefer the interior so we make a good team. :-) Her nieces love Disney princesses, Dora the Explorer and Tinkerbell.

The bedroom will have the princess theme. I still have to dress the bed but I think it turned out well.

I also made a baby bassinet from a cake decoration.

The kitchen will have the Dora theme. Here's the table with stools and a corner hutch.

Back soon, I promise

I'm sorry for the lack of posts this week. I am fighting some sort of bug and I've just not been up to doing too much. Hopefully, I'll be back by the end of the week.

Pie anyone?

This is actually not all dry. The cherry pie filling will be more translucent when it's dry but you can tell what it is. The canister are filled with "flour" (cornstarch baby powder) and "sugar" (glitter). This was my first attempt at a cracked egg and it turned out fairly well. I made the table from wood scraps, the canisters from tampons. The egg basket was made by my friend, Brenda. Isn't it cute?

A little project for the day

These two little topiaries were very easy. The top is a wooden bead covered in landscape foam with some dried flowers tucked in. I used a bit of real twig for the trunk and they are planted in clay covered with dried tea. Very quick and cute, too. :-)

Come on in!

Please help me welcome Maria Jose, who says her obsession is miniatures. We can all relate to that, can't we?

And now for something a little different...

I have two tin lithograph houses from the 1940s. One was my mom's and the other one has the same interior but the other exterior that the company produced. I have a doll family living in my mom's house but only had a Polly Pocket doll for the other house. My younger brother customizes action figures and he thought I needed a more realistic couple for the house. These photos show the husband and wife who now live in this house. Didn't he do an amazing job?! I have to admit, though, that the lady of the house seems a little scary. She's also taller than her husband. I hope he doesn't get pushed around too much, lol.
