I've been making minis and crochet, but when I see it on photo It always looks like I didn't do much ;)




The floor for the bathroom is stained, grouted and ready. I've made some toiletpaper and the towels you see in the bathroom cabinet.
The frame is going to be the mirror, but I can't find the mirrorsheet I had for this, so I'll keep looking...

I've made some pillows and now I'm trying to design some nice covers.

And every evening and sometimes when we have to drive somewhere far I'm crocheting. It's now a single person blanket and it's going to be twice as big.

Good times

Last week on the day of the WK finale my friend Annemieke visited us for a barbecue and some miniature making. (and of course to watch the finale between The Netherlands and Spain)

Unfortunately Holland lost, but we didn't mind to much because we had a great day anyway.
We made a beautycase: mini in 1:12 and Annemiekes in 1:24 scale.


We happened to have both made a bathroom cabinet, so we both had a place to put it!

My cabinet was painted and provided with knobs after this photograph and I started the tiles for the floor, but I'll show you in a next post.
Thanx Annemieke for a fun day!

In the bathroom I wanted to have a big sink with a cabinet. I already bought the sink from Chrysbon and designed a cabinet to place it in:

It isn't finished yet. Need to add some details like knobs and paint

the whole thing. The first look is through the window of the hallway:

As you can see I need to make the tiles for the bathroom as well as paint the wall the sink is up against. I made the curved wall between the hall and the bathroom, because there is no window in the bathroom and I like the view from the hall window to show some bathroom.

It's real fun to design something and have it come out the way you imagined!

I think I'll paint it like the floorboards in the hall. And there will be some baskets in the middle.
Have a nice day!

(Ps. it's 34 degrees over here and that's really hot for Dutch standards, so I think I'll deserve some icecream now ;) )

Bathroom and Hallway

I've been painting and cutting to size the floorboards of the 'masterbedroom' and hallway and

this is what it looks like now:

I only have some floor left and no more floorboards ;) I messed up the bedroom calculation.

I've made some mini-purchases too: a Chrysnbon bathroom set and a bed I already dressed a bit. It still needs some pillows and a bit of paint.

I'm now working on the stairs banisters and I've applied a stucco-look on the bathroom walls. It all has to be painted and there will be a big curtain for some privacy if needed.

projects

I'm planning the dormers and the roof tiles and in between I'm working on the rooms of the first floor. The flooring on the left room is ready and I'm thinking how I want to hide the wiring. I'm trying to design cabinets on the back wall. Out of cardbox to see how it will look and later of course in wood.




















For some variety I'm also crocheting a blanket with granny squares. I've got babysize now, but want to go for at least a throw blanket. No need to get bored ;)

Have a nice weekend!
