store update

Well the store is coming along fairly easily and quickly. In the mail today I gor the miniatures that I had ordered for the shop. I am still waiting on the counter that will hold the ice cream, it is on back order. Here are the latest photos.

 These pieces are a display cabinet and counter and a tea cart which will hold special holiday items

 the bed is almost done all I need to add is bedding.

These are the doors to  the Store and the willow. I ordered the door knobs and the little brass numbers on the doors.
.


Well I am done for the evening. back to work on the secret project

good night.

Pink, Pink, and more Pink

Well the new store is coming, boy is it pink. In between paint drying I put together the bed that came with the  kit. I found this stencil book that my mom's friend gave me. I wanted to add something to the headboard and footboard, so I came across a small stencil for bluebells. I think it turned out really nice, It adds to the boring shape of the frame.

I will show you a picture of the bed assembled tomorrow,

thanks for dropping by

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas......

I want to welcome all of my new followers to my blog. Sorry it has been awhile but my real life has been beyond crazy. I am still busy working on the secret project as well as making some minis for my housse. The Willow will be decorated for Christmas. Today I was able to finally get the tree decorated and I decorated a wreath for the front door, made a cute nativity scene from a printie I found online. I have two out of the three stockings done and ready to hang from the mantle. All I have left is to decorate the mantle and make presents for the family that lives in the house. Michelle and Luke and their three children Kevin, Olivia and baby Emma.

On a more exciting note, my wonderful hubby bought me a dollhouse kit for an early Christmas gift. It is the Sugarplum dollhouse kit. It is by the same company as the Willow. I have had my eyes on this cute little cottage for a while now. I am going to turn it into a candy and icecream shop. The shop will be called " Nana's Candy and Ice cream Shop" i am dedicating this shop to all the "Nanas" out there. I have wonderful memories of my Nana. So I think this tiny cottage will be a perfect fit. The downstairs will be the candy shop and the upstairs loft will be Nana's apartment.

I have decided to paint the outside Tutti Fruitti Pink with a Lavender door with white trim and candy striped wallpaper for the shop as for Nana's apartment I have not decided on a complete colour scheme, something with blue, because I found blue flowered printable kitchen accessories.

Well back to putting on the second coat of paint.
bye

more minis

Well besides being very busy lately I have had some free time to make some minis. I am trying to finish the kitchen in the Willow. My colour scheme is red and white with cherry accents. so I made some chairs and I made a quick temporary table until I can buy one. Now all I need is to buy the fridge, stove and sink or fix the stove and sink that I already have. I have to buy a fridge because I used the one I had to make cubbies for the daycare centre..

 The kitchen is really starting to look like a kitchen.

 Sorry for the blurry Jello are really cute. I found the printie online at tinycrafts.com, they are super cute.

I made this cute cosmetic tray out of beads, stickers and toothpicks all glued on a round mirrored disk.

So that is all for now,
have a good evening.

I'm still here

Sorry it has been awhile, real life is really busy lately. I am still working on minis, my houses are coming along nicely, as some of you know I am working on a secret project that I will reveal after christmas, so that has taken time away from my minis, I have some new photos of some stuff I have completed, I am trying to get some christmas minis started.

 This was a boring looking crib, Emma has a nice cozy place to sleep, the bedding is made from pink checkered flannel, all she needs now is a peter rabbit comforter for the winter.

 this was very plain and boring.

 It now looks like this. The material is black suede with a satan printed material on the inside, all this needs is a basket on the bottom and a bag attached to the handle.

 Bathroom is 97% finished, all it needs is towels and toiletries in the cupboards

 These two pieces I bought at Micheals, I painted them white and added the matching fabric that is in the Kitchen to the doors, Inside the one has pantry items I made from printables and wooden dowels the other one will hold dishes once I find the right ones.

That is all I have for right know. I have a busy day, so may not get to many minis today, will see.
