Some time ago, I went to Sjoukje to craft together, because it was the 6th of december I brought her some presents. you can see the picture below.The little bear is just being curious after the presents, its Sjoukjes little bear.

I made this little house as an example for the house I gave to Sjoukje

We where not very inspired to craft at the quarterscale house we are doing, so we chatted a lot and just made a few simple things, we made a purse of a paperclip and a waterpitcher. The minies on the left are mine the others are Sjoukjes. the little bear is from Sjoukje Sjoukje also made the pictures

This is what I made

This is what I made,for Roelie

A while ago, Jolie from a little more minies was visiting the Netherlands, we wanted to meet at my house, but I we had to cancel the apointment because I had to work. Jolie promissed me a present and she sent it to me after she went home, this is what I got, it is so beautiful made.

Jolie again thankyou very much

Better late than never

First of all I need to apologize to the ladies, that I promised a present. The envelops are just posted today and I have absolutly no excuse for posting them so late. They where on my desk all the the time, I just forget to take them to the postoffice when I went to the shoppingcenter. I am so sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long but the gifts are on their way, keep watching your postbox.

Since my last post, I reached the number of 200 followers, so a warm welcome to all my new readers, I am trying to keep up blogging every week, but I don't always succeed to do so. I hope you will forgive me.

27 of oktober I went to the big international dollshouse fair in Arnhem, it was a real joy of meeting people I know for long and people I only knew from internet. And ofcourse I did some shopping this is what I bought.

I bought a quarter scale house from Petitepropperties and two books to make quarte scale furniture and I made my first quarter scale cupboard

I have some more things to show you but I save that for my next post.

my secret surprise

hello You all, readers and followers of my blog, I had a wonderful birthday yesterday, I got a lot of presents. First of all I will Thank every one for their birthday wishes and reveal my secret surprise. I was thinking about doing a give away, because I almost have 200 followers, but than I read at someones blog about having a lot of people commenting at a giveaway only to be in the draw. and so on.
It is not that I don't understand the people. Because I do, if you follow a lot of blogs, you can not give comment on each blog, but I just wanted to do it different, and for myself I didn't enter any give-away draws after that. And from now on I will only enter if I know I will really follow that blog and give comments.

That is why I want to reward those people who actually reading my blog and give comments.
So here it is I will go back 10 posts and everyone that gave comment at the posts after that until my post yesterday, will be in the draw for the give-away. I will put up a list here so you can see.
What it will be I don't know yet, have to think about it

from the dutch poppenhuiskladblog they had a meeting day yesterday, which I could not join of course, but they gave me some presents though

At the left a kit to make poppies from Hanny, in the middle a french styled coatsrack with the Eifeltower on top from Margriet at the right the nautical themed pillows from Sjoukje, and in front of the pariscard you see the little doll from Nella, very, very small.

Close-up of the little doll

Sjouke came to my house in the evening and gave me another little present
A servingtray, a kitchenpaper roll (yes it is pink!) wit a little napkinholder with tiny napkins, some nice little pillows (you can use them t o make little mini pillows) and some nice material.

And I got the book the Mouse Mansion from a very dear friend. This is a very lovely book with beautiful pictures, it is translated in english and french go take a look at he authors blog
this is the list with names, tomorrow I will do the draw

it is my birthday

It is my birthday today and I have a secret surprise!!!!

craft morning

This morning I went to Sjoukje and we crafted together. we made a tray with different colours of veneer to look like marquetry, actually I cheated a little bit I thought the Ivy was not dark enough so I made them a little bit more dark. I will do it over another time because it didn't turn out the way I wanted, but for now you have to do it with this one. It need a seccond coat of varnish as you can see. The one with Ivy is mine the other one is made by Sjoukje

posted a tutorial

Today I recovered the tutorial from my old webpage. it is a simple way of making a wicker chair, also very easy to use for smaller scales. I made it years ago, but my website is not in use anymore, so I thought of posting it over here. I also have it in dutch and will post that one later. You can find the tutorial if you poke the button that says tutorials.
Also want to say welcome to my new followers, Thank you for taking interest in my blog

a bucket and a kettle

This Morning I went to Sjoukje (Maisson du pompier)to do some crafts together, we made a bucket (that was the easy part) after that we made a kettle this was a little bit more work, I have to paint the knob and part of the handle of the kettle,. After that I will make it look more old. The bucket and the kettle at the right are mine

quilt is ready

My quilt is ready, it is not totally perfect, but I like it, the quilting I did with the sewing machine and not by hand, the rest is all made by hand.

do you remember?

Do you remember my post about two packages that I expected and didn't come? Well it seems that a complete container with post is missing in South Africa and guess what, my packages where in it!! how weird is that. Both packages contained miniature dolls, so I hope someone is very happy with them. These kind ladies offered to sent me a new package so I have something to look foward again.
this weekend I will show you my quilt, it is not ready yet, but I am getting there.

Patchwork quilt

I started to make a patchworkquilt

some work

Here is the little bear I made, I gave him some temporary eyes. At home I wil give him new ones. I also tried to make a lttle sheep . Tilda style . I am not satisfied how he looks , but for a first try, it is not to bad. I had a lot of trouble to get the picture uploaded, when I am at home, I will upload a better one, this one is taken with my phone and not the best quality

Welcome

Woh I have had a lot of new followers lately, welcome to you all that take interest in my blog, I am with my daughter at the moment and we had very bad internet, but for now the problems seem to be solved. I just cellebrated my 100 followers and now I am almost reaching 200 I must start thinking how to cellebrate that point. I have no miniatures to show at the moment, I have made a miniature bear, but I don't have eyes for the poor bear so he has to stay blind until I come home.

I am sad, because I would have liked that I could post a picture of the giveaway I won in
May. It was a beautiful babyoutfit , but the package still is't arived yet, as I am waiting on a other package from the same country, sent at the same time I have stil hope that it comes, but I feel so sorry for Sharon de Vries of Chrystel designs http://chrysteldesigns.blogspot. com. Take a look at her beautiful designs

New things

Tuesday I crafted together with Sjoukje and we made the little redwagon from 1-Inchminiatures by Kris It was far more small than we thought, so it was a little bit trickey, but I managed to get it done, except for the flowers later on I made a bigger one as a toy for the little dollshouse kids. you will see them both below

some time ago I made another hydrangea I didn't show, so here is a picture of the flower, in the garden they are just are starting to blossom so this is a good time to show.
