Trucks

Hello everyone sigh !! its almost September and i am still waiting for summer :D The good news is that with the winter coming more time for minis hehe. First I would like to welcome all my new followers and to say Thank You to all my followers. The words of encouragement and friendship that i have gotten since i started this blog has been fantastic. So from one grateful blogger a BIG THANK YOU.

These are a few trucks that i made. Also a little dolls house ( maybe even use it as a shelf in a childs room ? )They could be improved but for my first attempt i am pleased. I put a cardboard box on one and side bars on another. I am sure there are lots of ideas for these. I saw the tutorial on this site
http://creatingdollhouseminiatures.blogspot.com/2011/08/112-scale-toy-truck-tutorial.html  There is some fantastic tutorials there.
I hope you are all having a good week. Hugs to all my friends.

Summer swap

I also took part in Caterinas wonderful summer swap. Thank you so much Caterina what a great lady you are to organize such a great event. I enjoyed a lot. I never done a themed swap before so i really had to use my imagination lol. It was great fun. I received my swap from Monika. This is what i received. I am so happy with my gifts. The deck chair even folds up. The cushions and the table are so pretty. The boat is fantastic and there is even a tiny pair of sun glasses. Thank you so much Monica I love my gifts.

My partner in the swap was Drora. I sent her a summer picnic basket with food ( made from fimo which i had never done before ) A summer dress and hat. Drora has told me she is happy with her swap so i am happy :) Thank you Drora. Here is a picture.

I hope you are all having a great weekend. Hugs to all my friends

Gift from afar

OO my goodness look what i got in the post. :) A little while ago i admired a beautiful mini book of Psalms on Droras  blog. This wonderful kind beautiful person  sent me an e mail very kindly asking for my address as she wanted to send me one. But Wow she also sent me all these other beautiful things. The box they came in was so pretty.

 Then i had the pleasure of opening it and just look at these treasures.

Two of her wonderful teapots that i have admired since i seen them on her blog.  Beautiful framed shells. The lovely piece of fabric. Other little trinkets to use. And of course the beautiful book.

Thank You so much Drora I love all my treasures. They will find a place in my house or shop. A big Hug to you.

Have a great weekend everyone. HUGS to all my Friends.

Saga of the Shop !!!

Hi all  :) I will continue now with the rest of the story lol. I had so many ideas for so many shops. I got a bit confused and bewildered hehe  so i decided to turn the whole house into different shops. That at least let me try lots of different things. It also gave me gray hair and sleepless nights hehe. So all of downstairs will be a Cafe with  cakes sandwiches and whatever else i cook up :D. Upstairs will be a ladies shop. I have also decided as i have been given through swaps and wins some beautiful baby clothes to have a small selection for children. The attic will be the toy shop. The other room in the attic i havent decided yet lol maybe an antique or china shop or maybe non of them hehe . I think i will decide that when i see what minis i have left over.  Just in case anyone is wondering ( if anyone is left reading this lol ) i found my cottage in a market. I decided that this would be great to learn with and that i would make nearly everything in it. So here i am still making things learning having fun and more important getting to know some fantastic wonderful people. Here are a few pictures of my shop. I hope you like. :) Hugs to all my Friends.

Toy shop

Hello all :).  I have here a picture of some toys i made. They are for my toy shop. I am not sure if i explained about my shop lol so here goes. :D I wanted a dollshouse for a long time but like a lot of you looking after a family left me little time or money. Late last year i finally  got one Yay. I was rather impatient and as i had already bought a few bits ( in the hopes of one day :D ) i wanted to furnish it  fast. So i bought a few more bits without really thinking about what i wanted. This was also before i met !!! all you fantastic people. Then i made my first piece of furniture and i was hooked. My children ( who listen to me sometimes lol ) decided as a gift for Christmas to get me a shop unpainted. Due to the bad weather and the Christmas rush it didnt arrive on time but it did arrive at last in middle of January. This time i wasnt going to rush it. Haha i have decided to finish this story in my next post.Or not lol i will let you decide ;) Is it way too boring ? or do you want to know ?. Soooo let me know continue or not :D  I hope you all had a nice Monday and have a great week. Hugs to all my friends. xxx

I found these dishes in the store and my mind went cool mini bath lol.I thought it would be great in my cottage bathroom as its small. They were great value 3 for 2 euro. I have put gold feet " on it and some gold flowers. I hope you like.I still have to put taps on it somehow lol. I will try something else with the other 2 then decide which one i like best.Any ideas anyone ? : ). Well its almost the weekend again :). I hope you all had a great week and wish you all a great weekend. Hugs to all my friends
