I finally was able to load a picture of the swaps that I sent out. the little purple thing on the bean bag chair is a pompom bunny and the little book is a curious george book. the two framed pictureas are the ones that I kept the ladies got different ones.

I am so excited, my swap parcel arrived first thing this morning, and what a wonderful delight it was to open 27 little gifts from wonderful ladies. These minis are beautiful and are going to make wonderful additions to my houses.

mini house picture

Here is the finished house.
I think I will add some more pictures on the walls, but at least the main job is done.

The other house I am going to turn into Santa's Christmas house. Another fun project. On payday I am going to order my mother's day gift. Greenleaf dollhouse company has a competition and I am going to enter. Check it out if you are interseted. I am going to make mine into a farmer's market. Lots of market stalls to make and lots of fimo foods. Good summer project.

talk to you later

tiny project finished

Well I finished the tiny little house, I think it turned out well. I am debating on the shingles, my step mom suggested that I either leave them the terra cotta colour they are or paint them hunter green. Also my first set of swap minis are on there way to Canada, so they should arrive in about 10 days. That will be exciting. I mailed 27 little miniatures in three categories, colour turquoise, finishing touches, and framed pictures. These swaps are really fun and I am glad I joined the group. For some reason the picture upload is having problems I will try later.

my little project

I have the main floor just about finished of the little house. I printed some little printies to make some pictures for the walls and I made a little TV or the living room. The kitchen furniture doesn't even look the same. I made a sink for the one counter. Here are the recent photos

awesome yard sale find

My dad and step mom went to a garage sale this morning and came home with a wonderful surprise. In a box was two small scale dollhouse with furniture and tiny tiny dishes and a little doll for the houses. I am so excited. The houses are a cream colour on the outside, but a blank canvas on the inside. No yucky wallpaper to tear down, no yucky paint colours to change. The only thing I have to do is repaint the roof shingles, which are in awesome shape. I think the scale is 1:48. If any of you out there in mini land know where I can get  tiny dolls (I am looking for a dad, baby, mom), I would love to hear from you.

 




I some how have fixed the camera, these photos turned out pretty well.

talk to you tomorrow, i am off to check out tiny wallpaper.

spring is here to stay

Well I think spring is here to stay, and to commerate the green grass and the warm air I thought that Kevin and Olivia would like to try out their new soccer balls that I just bought them. So I was at Michaels this morning picking up some stuff for a cake and as I was looking around I found these really cute mini soccer balls. They are really mini erasers, but they are the perfect size for toys for my little people. Since they had the balls now they needed a net to play with. So that is what I did this evening. The net was really easy, it is just some small wooden dowels and paint and netting from the chocolate easter eggs that you buy in the store. If you are wondering on size the net is 5 inches in height, 6 inches in length and 2 inches in depth. once the frame was together and painted I sewd on the netting. Kevin and Olivia seem to love it.

The soccer balls cost me a $1.50 an each and the net can be easily changed to fit the size of your dolls, Kevin and Olivia stand almost 4 inches in height.

I love how it all turned out. If these two keep going I am going to have make them a supply of Gatorade.
