Some of the furniture that came with it

But first, here's a one inch scale sandcastle that I made today from various "found" objects - a wine cork, 4 wooden spools, a wire nut, and 4 glue caps all glued together on a cardboard base. I painted it all a sandy brown color and sprayed it with spray adhesive and then sprinkled sand all over it. The path is lined with seashells.
This living room set came with the house. I will recover the cushions on the couch and chairs and I might repaint the table frames -either black or brass.
All of the drawers open on the nightstands and the dresser. I need to replace the mirror on the dresser and make new bedding. I dug through my stash of 1:16 extra furniture and found enough stuff to furnish the whole house. The finished house will be child safe for visiting children (and grandkids whenever I get some, :-D.)

The mystery house and a welcome!

Well, here's the mystery house. It's a two story homemade house in roughly 1:16 inch scale.
It was extremely dirty. This is after the first two cleaning, lol. It came with some plastic furniture that looks to be 1970s era. I think I'm going to use that theme in the clunky little house. Should be fun! More pics will follow. Hubby will be out of town the end of next week and this will be my project for then.

Also, please help me welcome Carey of Chicory Nits. She blogs about many things but be sure to check out her Easter Bunny house. It's adorable!

Happy Easter everyone!

I'm sorry that I haven't been around much this past week. Real life stuff kept me busy. This next week will hopefully be better for minis and for spending time with all of you.

My mother in law says there's an old dollhouse in the attic that I can have. Hubby doesn't remember ever seeing a dollhouse up there but he's going to get it for me this weekend. So, with any luck, I will have a new project to start. I don't know what to expect other than my MIL said that it is very simple. I will let you know more once I do, lol.

Happy Easter!

Welcome!

Please help me welcome Rhonda from Vegan Dispatches from Vancouver. Rhonda is trying for the second time to become vegan and stay with it. Follow her progress on her blog.

Meet Eddie

Eddie has a somewhat inflated view of his looks now that he’s older. He’s still imagining himself the way he looked in 1977. Unfortunately, the years have taken their toll and Eddie is no longer the “hot young thing” he once was (or at least thought he was, lol.) He no longer has the body to wear a racing suit but hasn’t let that stop him. Eddie has hair just about everywhere on his body except his head at this point in his life – even his back is hairy!

Maybe Eddie and Carole should get together, lol.

I've just taken a man out of the oven

Oh the things that dollmakers get to say, lol. I'm working on the male version of the middle aged bathing beauty. The sculpting part went well. Next up is making him hairy and dressing him in a Speedo. I'll post photos when he's finished. It looks like blogger is allowing photos again this afternoon.

Back later!

Welcome!
