a package arrived

When I was away visiting my daughter in brazil. I got a message from Terry, that I won one of her give aways. I asked her to not sent the package before I got home and so she did. Yesterday I could get the package at the postoffice. Oh wat a surpise it is so beautiful made.
I got a basketbottle italian wine with glasses and a astray with cigarettes and a deck of cards to play carte genovesi. there even is a explanation about the game. Thank you very much Terry! it is beautiful

this is an overvieuw of the presents, even the box was very pretty as you can see

closeup of the bottle and glasses

close up of the deck of cards, I didn't get them out of the package, becaus I am afraid, they get lost before I use them in a scene

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.
