I wish all your dreams come true.

I thank you all for your sweet comments and support and woderfull gifts and all the eye-candy and tutorials on your blogs. 

Do you have any Newyear's resolutions?

I do.

I am going to loose weight, i wanna loose 20 kilo.

I am not going to do some kind of "super" diet, i am going to skip snacking during the week and eat healthier and drink more water.

I also going to move more.....i will swim ones a week and will follow Zumba lessons on my WI almost every day.

I also finely going to finish what i started.

I have a lot of W.I.P (work in progres) projects wich i finely going to finish in this year.

Here are some:

This little house is screaming to be finished, it needs the rest of the kitchen and the room upstairs on the left.

 I am not happy with the outside, it is way to shiny, so i will fix that and there is no toilet in this house, i am going to make a outside toilet.

I want to rise the whole house and make a little stairs in front and a garden around it.

There are still rooftiles to make and attach.

 Another project: Beauty Angels

A beauty salon etalage in a roombox, needs more stuff in it.

 This wicker basket has to be filled with old toys and memories for in my big dollshouse.

 The hobbyroom corner does still have empty spaces.

 and i have to make a rug for it.

My big dollhouse....it dont have to be finnished on the inside this year, but the outside must be finnished.

I am now working on the roof.

 My needelwork:

I am making a rug for the diningroom of the big dollshouse, i started more then a year ago!

This year it have to be finnished.

 I also started a 1:144 project what needs more furniture and details.

 I have to make more clothes for my Country and Western store.

 The letters are falling of, they are some kind of stickers and i am not happy with the name.

Any suggestions?

 My latest addition, the babyshop....lots of things to do and stuff to make.

You see..I have lots to do.

I also starting  with my mother on our hobby evenings again, ones a week.

Because my mothers hobbycorner is ready we are starting on another project, i don't know what it will be yet but i will anounce it as soon as we know.

What are your resolutions for 2012?

I would love to know.

Hugs

Day 10 of the hobby-corners

No, we're not done.

There is still some thing to make for our hobby-corners.

This is what we made on our mother daughter evening:

Can you see what i added?

Yes, little spools of sewing thread!

 Here are more of them, i see now that they are not standing straight.

I also made tree "glass" potts from a piece of a pen, still have to make the lids from fimo-clay and fill them with beads.

 I also crochet a little bag for some wool.

 I am not so happy with it, the holes are to big.

 My mother made this plant.

 and these two,

and this Hedera.

 I also put a Hedera against the wall.

And a pot with some stakes, still have to make a rose to go in there.

The pots are lids saw in half.

Next week we are going to make desk lamps, i make roses and the lids of the potts and maybe more fimo things.

I also want to make a rug, so not finished at all!!

Some of you were already sad the project was finished, but we still have to add more bits and bobs.

So stay tuned.

I am already starting to paint the little shop i bought at the Arnhem Fair.

This is going to be a baby-shop.

This is just to show you what i am doing, first layer of paint is on.

I want to ad more color.

Oooh yes i know i am strange, i start so many projects at the same time.

I am also still working on my big dollshouse.

But hey i like it!

Have a nice weekend.
