Playtime

I came home early from work yesterday because I was dizzy and nauseous. I wasn't feeling much better last night so I arranged for a substitute for today. Still not feeling great but well enough to play a bit. I did a bit of arranging in Rebekah's cabin. I realized that the trunk I painted quite awhile ago (in folk art style) would look great in the cabin. I like it much better than the black leather one I first had in here. I had to rearrange the furniture to fit the new trunk in but it looks so much better that it was worth it. :) I also found a more in scale rifle for over the door. It was in the round robin swap I do with friends. Take out what you want and put in what you don't want - it's a lot of fun and several of my projects were inspired by something I found in that box.

I'm also playing a bit in my mini house. I took some photos of the pine border I stamped in my real living room to turn into a mini border. I'll let you all know how that works out.

Have a great weekend!

Edits

Today was one of those days when I felt the need to "fix" some things that I hadn't been completely happy with in my mini house. First up is my mini stocking boot. I originally made the fur with textured clay but that just wasn't right. Today I changed it to actual fake fur. It looks much better now.
I bought this bentwood rocker many years ago. It was originally a golden oak color but our real one was dark wood. I finally got brave enough to paint it. I was worried about getting paint on the "cane" part but I didn't need to. :)
And, finally, I changed the living room window treatments. Although we didn't have wood blinds at the time the dollhouse is set in, the decor has slowly been morphing into the way the house looks now. I've never liked the lace curtains that were in this room and they didn't look like the real window treatments that were in here anyway. We currently have wood blinds so I used a bamboo placemat to make some for the mini room. I need to do some dusting in here soon. Apparently, mini me is not the best housekeeper, lol.
