Another suitcase in another hall.......

What is a hotel without suitcases. This is the first of many....because many guests have many suitcases.

We started with 2 simple boxes

Then we put on some paper that looks a bit like leather

Tadaaa.......

Made a belt with a buckle that really works    :-)

I also got a workshop from Lisette. She made the box and we had to put in a christmastree and some other stuff.

I made a chair, table and snowman. But pffff......it was soooo tiny. Look at the pin on top of the box.

Also had a workshop of a little box with drawers. (Keetje)

And finally.....a tableclothworkshop by Emma. Didn´t I told you I would never embroider again.....well...I had to make this but I guess that this was the last time ever!!!! :-)

Day well spend.

A new bed and some little things

Harrison and Lara wanted a new bed. The old bed is still fine but a little old fashion. They wanted a  boxspring. I looked up a picture from a magazine and got started. But first I made some other small workshops that I got last saterday. A basket of wire, a wreath with real lavender, a little christmaspuppet and a christmas cake.

Very busy

Yesterday we had a meeting with other miniaturists. It was a lot of fun and some of us made a workshop for eachother. I made a terrasheater. And I got a lot of lovely workshops in return. I made two of them today. The sunflowers and a tray for bottles of booze. We also made a workshop invented by Lisette. A lovely gardentable. (But also usable in kitchens, livingrooms, bathrooms etc.) Today I made a second one because I want to put four tables in my beach-hotel. Guests need to eat ofcourse

The Terrasheater. If you would like the workshop, you can mail (click) me.

Tables, booze-tray and sunflowers. The watering can was already made.

Plant table

Last week Klara and I made a tray with veneer. It is so much fun to work with veneer so I thought I´ll make a little table. And this is the result of a lot of  "blood, sweat and tears" (and a punch.)

A tray for Lara

Lara complained that she didn´t have a tray so when Klara came over to day we both made one. The top tray is Klara´s. I had a lot of trouble with the veneer. It wouldn´t work with me.  :-) But I won  :-)

Lara is delighted with her new tray.

Back from vacation.

It´s been a long time since you have heard from me but I was on vacation. I spend two (short) weeks in France. I´ve seen a lot of castles, gardens and museums. I love France.......

But now I´m back and I will show you my treasures that I bought overthere.

The statue is a statue of Ra. In France there are a lot of series that you can collect and this was one of them.....it is a new serie so the first episode was a bargain.

And then the paint.....I love the French colours. So I couldn´t resist these two acrylic paints. Fleur de rose (pinkish) and Azur. (bleu-ish)

The chair I have bought in Chenonceau. My most favorite castle. It´s a little oversized but if I make the rest also 1:10, no one will notice.

I´ve also been very busy with a tiny quilt.

It´s going to be a bedspread for my christmashouse.

Shoes

Klara and I have been making shoes today. Klara already made a lot of shoes but it was my first time and it was really fun to do. I tried them on one of my dolls and guess what....they fit. She is very happy with her new shoes and can´t wait to try them on.

Also tried to make boots but that didn´t work out that well. The fabric I used is not easy to glue. And I don´t like the model so I will not show that to you. LOL

A shell thing

I love the nautical theme. Made a shell pendant today.

And finished my chair, made from a champaincorkholder. (you know....the metal that keeps the cork in place)

I´ve decided to put all the sea-themed things in my "hotel".

With love

Discover the seaside.

I´m having my nautic period at the moment.

I made a few pillows with nauthic theme and a garden mirror.

There´s a hole in the bucket.....

Today Klara came over to have some fun with paper. We made a bucket and a teakettle. It was so much fun to make this. The bucket was very easy.....the teakettle a bit more difficult but we managed. The left one are mine.

I started to embroider this carpet a 3 or 4 years ago and now it is finally finished. (if you look closely you can see a coulourdifference, that is the result of waiting to long to finish it  lol) 

 I didn´t have enough green to do the last 8 stitched but it is not that visible. I´m glad it is finished. It measures 12x8 cm

I´m going to put it in little Bears house.

With love

Walk-in-closet

After all of the skeletonscenes I decided to work on little Bear´s house again. It´s been I while since I´ve worked on that and little Bear asked me to start with the house again. I made a "walk in closet" in the kitchen. It still needs some shelfs but I´m working on that. I made the hinges of aluminium foil. You know.....from a tealightholder.  (don´t know if that is proper English lol) And this is the result of a days work.
