Boy with skatedoard.

 Look at this funny little boy playing with his skateboard.
 He is made by my mother specially for me.
She made him out of Fimo and dressed him in jeans and knitted a sweater for him.
He is wearing leather sandals.
The only thing she bought (in the toyshop) is his skateboard.

My mum likes too make dolls very much.
I think she makes a doll a day.
I infected her with the Dollshouse/Miniatures Virus a couple of years ago.
She is retired and has a lot of time to make mini's (a lot more time than me).
She has a canalhouse, cafe with upstairs living, a little candyshop, a wool and sewing shop in a sewingmachine- case, a serre, a whole fancy-fair,a leathershop with lots of bags in it in a leather bag, a clockshop in a clockcase and many more...
I remember when she started..
She wanted to buy a big dollshouse to fill (her canalhouse) .
She told me:" I want a big house so i only have one house and stick with one house or project."
I said to her... "No mum, we shall see, if this house is full you are hoked and you sure want more.
She didn't believe me at that time, but i was right, see now is totally hooked on making miniatures."
She specially likes too knit and make dolls.
Ones a week she comes too my house in the evening and we are making a project together or just chat about our mini-ideas.
I feel so lucky that we now share the same hobby and i am very glad i infected her.

 He seems to have a lot of fun with his skateboard.
Thank you mum.
I like him very much!
I love you.

Unfinished projects part1

I am working on the big dollshouse as you maybe already know, but i have also a couple  of unfinished projects and this little house is one of them.
See, the roof is not finnished and i am not to sure about the deco, i think it needs a bit of wear.
I want to make a base for the house and maybe lift it up a bit, so i can make a little two step stairs in front of the porche.
I also want to make a garden around it and lots of climbing plants.

 These flowers a made from silk.
 The entrance need a housenumber, and maybe i'll sand the shutters a bit, they look to clean.
A peek into the livingroom.
 The coutch i made myself and the cussions i ebroiderd, still need to make a little bird on the cage.
The piedestal is a repainted plastic cake decoration.
 The frame i made from plaster, my mum has a mold.
 You see, still needs a lot of work, on the left downstairs, i wanna make the kichen.
 Hey, naugty puppy!! Stay of the table.
 The other puppy is sleeping.
The other side of the room, a vintage clock.
In the corner a chest with drawers(painted plastic) and the television and radio with shelves above.....still need to fill them.
Above the intrance to the kitchen i did some glaspainting.
 In the kitchen is the mother of the puppies with one of her puppies in a basket i made.
Oke thats all for now, tomorrow i show you upstairs.
Hope you liked watching.
