Arrived

A few days ago the giveaway from Linda, http://une-petite-folie.blogspot.com/, arrived!
It is a beautiful miniature book of Linda's french house, my petite maison.
The book was made by Maria, http://ilcucchiainomagico.blogspot.com/, and it is so beautiful made, you can realy read!

At first I could not believe I won that beautiful book, I can not discribe how happy I am with it!
I know I am a lucky winner.
It will have a place in my dollhouse shop, that I started a while ago........
I can not show you any pictures of it now, I took the front off to work on that, now the shop is a little dusty......
This is the last picture I took from it,

but with my beautiful present, all the more reason to go further and finished it.
Thank you Linda for this very beautiful giveaway, I am very happy with it!

I'm realy sad......

I can not stay logged in by blogger, I have to sign in everytime.........
Sometimes I do not follow any blog............
And worst of all........ I can not leave a comment on your blogs.......
When I do, I have to choose an identity, but he does not recognizes me anymore......

What can I do? I wait and see, maybe it goes away just like last time......

Hope to see you soon on your blog!

playtime

Maybe the girl does not want to bake,



she wants to play with her dollhouse and unpack her new furniture!

My tray

This morning I saw a workshop of a breakfast tray from Juli at:http://miniaturebyjuli.blogspot.com/
That reminded my of a table I did some mosaic on, some time ago.



I had to start my old computer to find the pictures of it!



Here are some details.

At that time, I thought it would be nice to make a workshop of it........
I did made the pictures............. but I never finished the workshop........

But I will share it with you with the pica's that I do have:

* It starts with eggshells, wash them and then paint in the colors you like, sometimes its better to do a couple of layers.

* Then add glossy varnish on them and let dry. Then break the shells into very tiny pieces.
I took a ready tray and painted in a matching color,


* Draw a design, think of a simple decor,



* Then start with puzzle the shells in to your decor,



* It looks no good, but it will be better,







* If your decor is ready, you can fill the background with a mathing color, try to fill every space,





* This is what it looks like

And then I did not take pictures of the finished tray.......

I've searched, but I can not find it, I can't remember where I put it.....
But with the pica's I have it must be a peace of cake! ;)

* You can now cover it with grout, be sure it is very fine, better you sifting and use only the fine grout. Gypsum powder is what I used.

I hope it is a bit obvious, Google helped me with translation, but he gives not always the word I'm looking for.
If you have any questions you can always mail me or leave a message.

Hope you like it and you will try sometime,

see you again!

Little baking

Sometimes a have to do something else, I'm busy with a swap and some more, but I can't help myself, then there is something in my mind and then I have to try to make it.
This is a little baking set for a little girl,




now I can continue with my duties.
Thank you for your sweet messages on my previous post, also there are still new followers "WELCOME"
and I can not even keep up your blogging......... sometimes I feel guilty about that...
I need more time!

As promised

Yesterday I said I would show you today more items out off paper, this is a wildcrown, I don't know if you call it that way........ This one is for wall hanging.




This is out off paper too, the hooks are bent nails!

Then I saw this picture on the internet,

And I made this out off it

I made ​​him a little used,

And thats what you can do with it, you can put in other stuff too.......

This one is also out off paper, see you next time!
*

Paper again

In some way I am addicted to paper and paperboard, you may have seen that jar I made ​​recently? And when I'm busy doing paper stuff, I can not stop,then I have to try out everything in my mind.......... is that addiction?

This time a tried a plantstand and a boiler............

They look very nice, but there can still be improved, did you see the lid can come off?

I also made a bathtub for a little girl to bath her dolls, but this one a show you later.
See you next time, I realy need to do something on my ladiesshop again, no more distractions!!!!

Ultimate Dog Tease

You have to watch this......... it's so pathetic.......... ahh

I'm still here

Firstly I thank everyone for the kind and nice comments on my previous post. I was working on the Mothersday-swap Dale organized, but it is on his way now! So I can't show you any pica's of that... But I'm very nervous if my swappartner, Patty, will like it.

While I was surfing on the internet yesterday, I saw this picture

I don't now where it was. But I liked the jar on the table, so I thought I give it a try,

Here is mine, thats what I've been doing.

And here is another one!
See you!

a little update

Today was a beautiful sunny day and I had some time to do something. I made some shelves and drawers in my closed, a tedious job, but it must fit.

The entire cabinet is made of cardboard, only on the front I used some thin wooden strips. In the corners are mirrors, I want to set a small mannequin in there, on both sides.

I made a start with the front of the store, but it did not turned out the way I want, so I have to think about that.

Does somebody know why you can not click on my picture?

Can somebody help me?

I'm deeply ashamed for no blogging the past time, but I was verry buzy with work and my grandson, it is realy fun with him and he is growing verry fast! But now for my question,

I was visiting your beautiful blogs and wanted to ad myself as a follower, but I can't anymore, because I have 300 on my list?? Now I have to stop following some blogs?? How rude is that?

Is there another way to do this? I hope you understand what I mean and there is a solution.

I also want to say thank you for those who still following my blog although I'm currently do not blog as much as I would like.

I hope to see you soon with a update off my minies!
