more minis part 2

here are some more minis

minis, minis, and more minis

I have been busy making printable minis lately, I have tons of sheets that I have printed out. So I thought I would start putting some of them together. I will worn you, they can become addicting and since they do not take a lot of time to put together, you can actually accomplish quite a few completed in a short time period. My favourite sites are found on mysmallobsession.com. they are great for people who are on a limited budget and have no dollhouse stores available. Speaking of dollhouse stores. I have found a store located in Port Hope, Ontario (outside Toronto) that imports miniatures from England. The shop is called the Dollhouse and Train Emporium. If you have a catalogue from the Dollhouse Emporium this store will order any of their pieces for you. My  wonderful husband ordered a bunch of stuff from them for my birthday. Once I  recieve them I will post pictures.

This photo has to much light, on the shelves are boxes of my favourite chocolates and candies. They are Quality Street, Pot Of Gold, After Eight, Fruit Slices, Cadbury Chocolate Fingers.

progress

Well I am making progress with the daycare centre and the candy shop. The bed in grandma's apartment is done and made. She has a small rug beside her bed and I put together two tables one for beside her bed and a taller one for her to eat off of. I put up some of the posters and toys in the daycare centre. I need to make and buy more toys for this place.

happy new year

Happy New Year to all of you out in blogland.

Today I am working on Nana's chair for her apartment so that she can give Michelle hers back. She wants a white chair to match her existing furniture. I have not decided on a material colour, The carpet i am working on has blue, green and yellow with a bit of navy blue in the pattern, there is alot of blue in the wallpaper so I might go with a yellow or green. I also would like to cross stitch some throw pillows for the bedas well.
Here is the cottage so far. I finally was able to take a decent photo

Until next time

new years eve

This is the carebear room in my neice's house (the secret project). So now that the holidays are pretty much over I have been able to work on the candy shop which is together, all I need to do is install the windows and some more trim and shingles on the roof. Inside I have completed the stove, sink, fridge component for the apartment. Since the space is so tiny I  took an old sink and stove and took them apart and remodeled the sink unit to house the stove top and fridge underneath. All that needs to be added is the hardare for the stove and faucet for the sink and handle on fridge.

The last two days I have been working on the candy counter. I spend a huge chunk of time looking up candy wrappers online, resizing them and printing them. I found all kinds, life savers, chocolate bars, nerds, fun dip (do you remember that powder sugar stuff) Yep made it mini!

I Even found a printie to make a popcorn machine and the dollarstore had this foam stuff, so I painted it and chalked some yellow on it and made popcorn. I made small popcorn bags with popcorn all ready to sell too.

I am currently cross stitching a simple carpet to go on the cottage apartment floor, and I need to find some fabric for the bed, and make grandma a small table and chair, she is borrowing Michelle's from the Willow house.

sorry about the glare on the popcorn machine, the lighting in this house sucks.

christmas surprise

Well I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday. Christmas was wonderful all 4 children had a great Christmas, Santa was very generous to all. The best news we recieved is that my husband's brother and sister in law are having a baby boy in may.

My sister recieved her secret surprise that her mom and I have been working on for the last few months and it looked wonderful and she was in tears when she opened it. I have pictures of the completed dollhouse that her grandfather build when she was a little girl. I can't find the before demo photos. The wallpaper was large out of scale from the 1970's and the carpet was aweful, and we had to demo the closets to fit the new furniture. so without further delay here are the photos.

I will have to tr ome resy to load photos later, wont load for some reason

happy holidays
