more little mouse

I am still in a mousemaking mood. lol
Birgit suggested I should use real bearfabric instead of an old sock and she even gave me the adres of a webshop in the Netherlands, this webshop has the most lovely and soft bearfabric for little bears. I had to alter the pattern because it doesn't stretch like the old sock, but I am very pleased with the result. Birgit you see I have been a very good girl and listened to your feedback.

two little mice

I am freaking out on real mice, but I am so in love with the mouse of the book,"The mouse Mansion" That I wanted to make a mouse myself, to use if I will read the book with my grandson, and maybe make a little mouse-room for it. If you don'y know the book go look for it, it is so awesome.
I took an old sock and some pipe-cleaners and just experimented a little. The big mouse is 6 cm and the small one 4 cm.
I love how they turned out.

new things

At the dutch forum I am participating a yearswap, every month one of the members has to make something to sent to the other members. January was the month Cassandra had to make the swap, I got this beautiful tray.

At the fair in Urk I bought a workshop for a daybed, I made it last weekend. I only made an other mattress.

At the Dutch forum we had a workshop everyday before Christmas, the little book I liked very much, but something went wrong everytime I tried, I even cut my finger very badly, mind you by only cutting paper. But at the end I had some succes and finished the book.

And yes I finished to make the windowpanes for the French house and I am very proud of that, sorry no picture yet, you have to believe for that. but this means I can go on with the house that is waiting for so long to get finished.

maison Du Bonheur: Shabby chic trunk / Brocante hutkoffer

Go take a look at MaisonDu Bonheur, I posted some pictures overthere

maison Du Bonheur: Shabby chic trunk / Brocante hutkoffer: I was at Sjoukje's place this week and we started, the shabby chic trunk, a workshop from Sylvia When I left, it was not ready at all, but ...

new things

a message of mother nature telling us spring is on its way, little snowdrops and the Helleborus, or Christmasrose as we say is a flower I like so much, it doesn't care for cold or snow, it just blooms in the worst circumstances

I have been creating some miniatures with polymere clay as you can see, the teapots are all hollow and the lids can be removed the 3 jugs need a label but I have to make that, I made a lot of little bottles and things for the bathroom, but I have to make labels for them too, soo I didn't make a picture yet

I made two little dragons and gave them to Sjoukje

Last Saturday I went to a fair toghether with Sjoukje It was a small fair, but very crowdy and I bought some nice things.

I updated the text of the post below, because there was some information lost during the work on the template, but I also fixed that, although not all the way I wanted, but at least I have the menu buttons back. How do you like this design? and what lettertype do you see, because it has to be cursive,but my Safari browser doesn't show, Firefox works okay.

Daily bread?

Sjoukje was here this morning and we made some bread, as a tryout of the fimoworkshop I gave this evening at the dutch dollshouseforum this is my bread I will make a page with the breadworkshop one of these days and put this at my blog, so you al can bake your daily bread lol

I also have to show you my birdcage a made some time ago, it is made of paper.I bought a Cricutmachine some time ago and I am experimenten how to use this for miniatures, this is one of the results. it is a little bit crooked, but I know how to fix that another time, for this old cage it is okay to be crooked. lol

Thank you

thanks all off you for your wishes, as you can see I made some progress on my template, but it is still not what I wanted, but at least the links are working. Will be working on it, because I cannot stand the fact it doesn't want to do what I want. lol
This year in december it will be my 5 year bloganniversary and I intend to do some special things to celebrate.
the pictures of the medinella, are from my old website I thought of showing some of the old pictures. The pictures are not the best quality, I took them with one of the first digital camera years ago, but I hope you like them
