slow progress

At the moment the work on the dollhouse is in slow progress, or no progress at all... School is eating up all my time once again! :(

But sometimes I just need to stop working for a few minutes and do something fun, like going outside with Kronk, my bunny, or make just one quick little miniature! Like this basket :D

It's made out of popsicle sticks, coffee stirring sticks, and a toothpick. The contents are just some random things from my miniature odds and ends box

LENTE!!!

Spring has definitely sprung! :p There is no denying now!
This beautifull butterfly visits my balcony daily, and today I took this picture of the pretty little visitor!
(please click the image for a better, larger view! You'll see amazing details if you look closely! ;) )

dinner table

This beautifull square table I found, and it is just the perfect dinnertable I was looking for! The living room of my dollhouse is quite small, but it needed a dinnertable since the kitchen is way to small for it. This small and delicate table is just perfect I think.

It's still unpainted, I'll paint it when the living room is done so that I can choose the right color for it then.
The table is from a dutch company with beautifull line of furniture and porcelain: http://www.dhminiatures.nl/

kitchen progress

Pictures of the kitchen so far. It still isn't finished, it needs shelves and the ceiling is still unfinished, but I'm very happy with the results so far! :D
It was quite a lot of work. I made a window in one wall, a hood over the stove, claytiles behind the stove. I made the wooden floor, sanding and cutting with endless patience! Painted the cabinets, replaced the sink with a selfmade one, the list goes on and on.
Many of the little details I bought at fairs, and many I made myself, or are at least "pimped" by me ;)

nearly finished attic

Last time I promised better pictures of the attic, well here they are. As you can see it is nearly finished, but still needs some work done. It still needs plinths and more frames and pictures on the walls, a railing around the stairwell, some carpets and more furniture and knick knacks ;) One wall is still unpainted because I want it to be the same color as the hall downstairs.

The Anton Pieck picture above the bed is the exact same one I have in my 1:1 house

sunshine award!

This wonderfull sunshine award I received from Coby at http://coby-mijnwereldje.blogspot.com
Thank you very much Coby!

The Sunshine Award Rules...

1. Post the award on my own blog.
2. In a blog post, name six blogs that I enjoy.
3. Let your six named bloggers know that you are passing the award on to them.

Now, I truly want to abide the rules, and name six blogs that I enjoy, but I don't think it would be fair at this point. Most blogs I like have allready received one or more sunshine awards!
And it doesn't feel right to give just 6 people this award.
All the blogs I follow deserve this award, otherwise I wouldn't be following them!!
I know that sounds cheesy, but it is true! :) So consider this award yours if I'm a follower of your blog :)
