Welcome

I didn’t keep up with the welcoming of new followers lately, so it’s a long list.
You might want to pull up a chair and have some coffee; there are lots of lovely sites to visit:

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!

what I've been up to

Working on the roof of my dollhouse and planning the flooring of the first floor
















Making a birdhouse (1:12) for a swap. I still have to make a 1:48 one now.
















Sewing a pillow with "blankets" for the stuffed animals of the little girl I baby-sit. She loved it :)

Have a nice evening!

Welcome

It's time for the welcoming speech again ;), here we go.

A warm welcome to:

Anama at http://anamavesi.blogspot.com/. I love her room 'Waiting for 12', she won a prize with it and that's no suprise to me!

Janice at http://onbeingaminimum.blogspot.com/. She's fairly new to blogging, but already has a very pretty house to show on her blog. I really like how she writes about her cats and kids too, so sweet!

Monica at http://miniaturasmodelando.blogspot.com/. I'm super impressed with the chairs and cars she's made, wow, such craftmanship!

fantasyli li welcome too! Do you have a blog? Because I can't find one.

Carol at http://true2scale.blogspot.com/. Beautiful miniatures and great (photoshop) tutorials. Can it get any better?

Debbie Lee at http://thelittlesaintsnursery.blogspot.com/. Precious little babies and bears, so lovely!

and Kriana (?) at http://miniaturaskriana.blogspot.com/. She makes her own beautiful witch houses and also a lot of different miniatures to decorate them. Really like your diversity!

Have a nice day! I will continue to work on a birdcage for a type of swap. If it's finished I'll show you. I'm also designing the floors on the second level of my house. So lots of work, but little to show ;)

to hinge or not to hinge

Very poetic not? ;)

The front door of my house was almost installed, when I saw I missed 2 hinges to finish it.

A quick look at some webshops made me realize that hinges are pretty expensive.

I already had a try at making my own hinges a while ago (I gave up then), but the costs made me try it again.

So far I've tried pins with thick paper, plastic sheets and an empty beer can (thank you boyfriend ;) ).

The easiest way is thick paper with clear tape to make it more solid. I only have to try if I can paint it with metal paint and if the hinges work properly when installed.

I'll let you know!

The roofpanels have been sawn and the roofbeams painted. Tomorrow I will try to cut the space for the dormers.

I also have to figure out how I want the floors upstairs. O boy...so many choices to make!

groetjes and have a nice day! Evelien

Welcome and give away result

First I'd like to show you the give away I made for Sylvia:

It was difficult to make something for someone who makes such beautiful miniatures, but I'm glad she likes it!


The sign on the left says toilette, but it is a bit dark on the photo. The little tealights can be taken out of the box separately. The stars in the middle are just for decoration. I also sent the workshop and more paper I made the box of.

Then there are also new followers! Welcome to:


Roelie at http://lapetitesofie.blogspot.com/. She's working on her "Marmod" house and boy is it pretty! Also take a look at the atelier she recently finished.

Just some fun

I love to make a collage of nice statements and pictures I see in magazines and on the internet.


Today I made a new one to hang on our toilet wall. Just want to share it with you, because it makes me laugh and think about all the projects in my head!

Have a nice day!
