under the stairs

Here is something else I've been working on in the dollhouse, I've been making a cupboard under the stiars.


My dollhouse is the "helena" kit from Euromini's, but while I was planning and designing how it should look, I became ever more unsatisfied with the entire house. The way it openend, the lack of windows and doors, the redicoulus bathroom-room (if you walk up the stairs you'd end up in the middle of the bathroom, now who would want that!?). There where all kinds of things that annoyed me about the house.


And so I'm altering almost everything, from adding windows (at least 6 of them up until now!) to placing many extra walls and doors.
The good news is, I'm starting to like the house more and more with every little project.


This cupboard is one of those alterations. I made a little light in there and the door can actually open and close. I'm still looking for a suitable doorhandle. And I'm now working on the banisters, then the kitchen will finally be finished, ready to play with the details! ;)

another update

This is how the windows in the living room turned out. I'm very glad I did it, it looks much beter than before I think.
The furniture still has to be painted and the cushions on the couch have to be sewn, but the couch itself is finished.
For the couch I used EM9649 from euromini's and took it completely appart, to redecorate it.

a small update

I haven't posted in almost two months! That is rediculous! So here are a few teasers to show you what I've been up to in the last two months, besides school! I wil post more pictures soon (or at least that's what I'm planning to do XD)

The daffodils in the picture above where a (bonny lavish?) kit I bought at a fair, they where very easy and nice to make.


Since I already glued my dollhouse all together, making windows in it is a very unholy little job! First I draw the inside shape of the window on the wall, then I drill several holes within the lines, and then... lots and lots of sawing. The working stage looks so unprofessional the way I do it! XD
But in the end it's worth it! Putting in these windows was one of the best decisions I made for this dollhouse! It makes it so much more realistic and allows a lot more light into the rooms. I'll show you the finished pictures next time because if I spill all the beans at once, I don't have anything left to post ;)

beautifull gifts from Glenda

Today I received the give away items Glenda made; this beautifull basket set! I'm very happy with these, the colors fit very well with my dollhouse! The detail is amazing and they are so delicate i.r.l.!

When I finish drilling and sawing huge holes for windows in my dollhouse, I'll take some pictures of these inside my house in a nice place/scene.

Thank you so very much Glenda! I'm very happy with your beautifull items!

I also want to wish Glenda and her family all the strength they need right now, and I wish her mom will have a healty and swift recovery.

Spring requires a lot of planting and potting!

I'm still getting used to the nice weather and the idea that it's finally spring again. After such a long and harsh winter it's a bit hard to realise it's finally time to wear more summery clothes instead of big warm coats, and have lunch outside on my balcony instead of all curled up in front of the heater!

My 'real life' tomato, capsicum and herb plants will remind me though! they grow so fast with this much sunshine!

That reminded me, it is the perfect time to shower my dollhouse with flowers and plants!
I bought a handfull of pots and vases and when I finish studying this week, this girl will be making some flowers!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter!

Here is a picture of my very own personal easter bunny; Kronk. In action as you can see!

sunshine

After a few days of rain, the sun is shining again and I'm quite happy about that! My little plants really needed more sunshine. In front you see cherrytomato plants, basil and parsley on the background. If the sun keeps on shining the way it does, most of my plantsies will need relocating soon! :D yaay!
(I'm not sure what the official words are in English, so I'll just say relocate ;) )
