Romantic

Wow, what a long time ago since my last blogpost.

I had a wonderful holiday, and now the kids are back to school;-)
Time to miniature again!
My sister came by and we made a plate full of miniature cupcakes and some other things,
and this romantic board is the first thing I finished from that.
I listed it on Etsy this morning. Now off to make some more romantic/shabby chic items.

Magic beans and Pendant

Today I had fun making this little pot of magic beans
and a scary but also cute pendant for a necklace.

Cupboards

Well, a lot of carving, sanding, more sanding and
a bottle of woodglue later, this is were I am now:



The cupboards are all going to be different after the're painted,
and they will be sold on the fair that I'm attending november 27th.

But what's that next to the cupboards?


Let's have a closer look:



It's a goldfish in his bowl, a new pet for my dollhouse;-)
and my first try to work with liquid resin.

Wood, wood and more wood

I started to make things for the fair in november.
I've been browsing pictures on my computer for a few days to come up with some nice ideas. Then I got the wood, lots of it;-) What am I making?
Can you guess?

After a lot of carving:

And because I got tired of working wood,
I made this little dragon head for etsy. I'm listing it now.

My First Fair

Well, do I have some exciting news:
I'm going to attend my first Dollhouse Miniature Fair as a seller!
It's Noverber 27th at Assen, a brand new location. Look how well suited:

The Fair is beïng organized by Stella Que Passa.
And I'm só só excited!!!
Looking forward to it, can absolutely see myself selling stuff there;-)
Now I have to get busy making lots of stock for then;-)

Look what I won!!!

Last saturday there was a contest on Het Poppenhuiskladblog.
Nella, (her dolls are getting famous here in The Netherlands, be sure to have a look at what she sells!) who also made my little Jan Klaassen doll, made two lovely little dolls and if you guessed their names correctly you could win them.
After a lot of puzzling I guessed the name of one of the dolls.
Her name was Pink Carmendina. And Yesterday she arrived savely in the mail:

Doesn't she look adorable? I just love her!!!
(the little clown was won by Jody.)

I didn't do much on my witch house lately.
I've been working on a commission for etsy, for which I had to make
19 tiny mushrooms :

...but I'll try to work on it next week again.
See you then;-)

Stable

It's my little girls Birthday today and she loves horses.
So last week I made her this stable. It is in 1:6 (playscale?) scale and she can play with it, with her barbie dolls. She absolutely loved it ;-)

Fire ready

Well my witch has her fire. So she can now use her fireplace.

You can't see it in the pictures but it realy flickers, looks so cozy!

Also painted the floor as you can see. Yes, there's some progress ;-)
Mandolyn (my witch) can be content.

Witch moved in

Today my Witch moved into her witch house.
She arrived in a very good mood...

even had some fresh picked mushrooms with her,
that she wanted to cook for diner.

But that all changed as soon as she entered the door...

What??? How can I live here? It's not finished, it's empty!

Where can I sleep, where do I brew my potions and prepare my ointments?

Where do I leave all my stuff and my plants that arrive next week?

No, she was not pleased!!!
I'm afraid I got myself a very demanding witch.
Well, perhaps that's a good thing, maybe I need some one to push me every now and then to finish something, in this case; a witch house.
She told me that she wanted a fire first thing, because a witch needs her fire to brew stuff, so I'm off to go make a fire now;-)

Bean stew

After the creepy eyeball stews, I wanted to make something more tasteful ;-)
So I made these delicious bean stews. Mmm...you can almost smell them.

Witches stew

Yesterday I made two cauldrons from polymer clay and filled them with a creepy witches brew of tiny bones, eyeballs and...well...you don't wanna know what else ;-)

And today I'm working on a witchdoll. My witchhouse has been standing empty and still unfinished, but I bought a (very cheap) witch doll and I'm transforming her today so that she's ready to move into my witch house.

More Mandrake's

Today I made some more mandrake's. They come with a book about mandrake's. They will be in my etsy shop this evening.

Present for my sister

As I wrote in the previous post, I made a miniature for my sisters birthday.
She is the sister who makes very beautiful cake's for every family occasion that we have. So I made her this:

Cupcake board

I've been working on a present for my sister, we celebrate her birthday tomorrow, so I can't show it yet, but when I was at it, I also made this lovely cupcakeboard for my etsy shop. It will be listed this evening. And I'll show you what I made for my sister next week;-)
