Silly Ol Bear

Pooh's having a pic nic indoors, but what should he be saying? Maybe he's thinking.

I wanted to fill in the bubble as "Ara, come have a pic nic with me.", lol. But if he looks as gloomy as Eeyore to you as he does to me, you've pick up on the household gloom that's been following me around for weeks now.

Perhaps it's time to clean house.

By the way the reason I've posted no new progress is because I'm waiting on materials again.

More Southwest Food Minis

Okay and next I'll be doing some cans.

Biding the time ~*~ Breakfast in Bed

I've been doing a swap "Within the Castle Walls". Only 4 signed up, so not including myself I only had to make 3 sets. I had this perfect sheet fabric so I just sat down and made them. Then pillow cases. I realized I had to fit it into the theme so I went for breakfast in bed. Who would be having breakfast in bed within a castle? I don't know but I can assume it's a modern castle, British, possibly someone with Children and who's planning on herself or someone else's getting married.

When I think castle I think living comfortably and breakfast in bed with all the things I'd like to read plus a yummy breakfast and very comfy sheets.

So I'm still waiting on some doilies and trays. Technically we're supposed to make it all, but I did pretty good with the bedding, breakfast, books and magazine. The plates and silverware I had around in extras, and I ordered the tea and roses.

I had fun trying different napkin folds for the silver, I ultimately went with that fold because I thought it looked good with the gingham. I recommend, cutting some squares, and getting out your iron and trying this some time. You could even look up folds online. What a blast.

Anyhow, crossed fingers to my order arriving in two weeks and I can thus continue my dollhouse.

Tudor Scene I Made for a "Make".

This is my first time making miniature food, or clay items. First time making a table, fireplace, fire, and waddle & daub walls. Pretty good huh?!
I made everything, including the prints. I didn't make the serving ware or fireplace screen. And the cat was a miniature commission. Oh and the picture frame & basket. Everything else, the jug, benches, table, food, room box... I made :D

It was for Christina, she has a shop called Dragonscale Miniatures so I thought feast with a dragon. The rest just stemmed from that, cause the theme was "What's that Smell?". Tee hee hee, Me and Ara are posting the pics on our blogs, but Marie did so weeks ago so it's okay.

You should see the roombox Marie made for Cate. Here!

The Addams Family Mini-Mansion!

Ooh I'm so excited, another themed dollhouse :D It's like a sisterhood of bloggers and dollhouses here on blogger.

Mom's Dollhouse Decorated

Well I got squat done on it but we went ahead and decorated it anyway. I realized mom needs a better house, a bigger one and I think we thought I should get a cheap kit for practice, boy was it ever! Wow, lots of mistakes I won't be making again, that's for sure!

I love my mom's taste in miniautres. Moms, we appreciate them. Dads too.

Thought I'd show you what I make in 1in scale miniature...

I'm selling a lot of my miniature food times on eBay, though I'd show you, here.

I also have some pictures of something someone made me for Pooh but I can't show you until everyone gets thier's. I'll also show you guys what I made for someone else.

Ah, now I get it Mom.

I decided to show Mom what was remaining on her dollhouse, and then it occurred to me to show her it lit up. Oh she was so pleased to see it like that. It's so romantic, this dollhouse lit.

The bedroom is just going to have a standing lamp.
Like I'm going to cover all the rough edges of wood and finish all the outer decorative trim.
She has more furnishings, I'll photograph it finished.
I think that door needs to be painted mahogany or dark brown.
A few touch ups and I'll have a done, lol.

Well I've got quite a lot done on this kit, it's my first dollhouse for my mom.
