Today i played with "Lego"

Well it is not really Lego, it is called Nanoblock and i bought it in a gift shop.

It looks so nice in one of my boys rooms.

Now i want to make or find two tranparent boxes for the rest to go in this cabinet.

The Dolphin painting is made by a painter who paint with his fingers and nails.

I bought it many years ago from someone from Spain, he was painting on the streets in Amsterdam (the Netherlands). His paintings were a little bit larger but i asked him to paint a smaller one for me.

I have another painting from him in my first dollshouse.

I will make a photo of it later.

What am i going to do in 2012?

First of all i wish you all a Happy and Healthy 2012 with lots of fun and mini making.

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.

Day 6 of the corners,a little tutorial, a lampout of beads and help!!

We are busy making a chair, still needs to finish it up.

 and we made some more bundles of wool.

For those who don't know how you make bundels of wool here's how we didi it:

First take a big straw ( the ones who comes with milkshakes) and cut it in pieces, as big as you want your bundles to be.

Than take a needle and thread, we used embroidery thread but you can use whatever you want.

Start winding the thread around the straw by going in one  whole end , going out the other whole end.

Do this till you're bundle is big enough and than cut it of.

You don't have to use glue, it will stay like this by itself.

You can finish it of with a lable, made out of paper.

 I also made a lamp out of beads and wire for the girlsroom of my big dollshouse.

Maybe you wandering why you did't see me for a while.

I am having some problems with my laptop.

If i want to type some texts my laptop is acting really strange.

If i type a t i get a new tab and if i type a p it wants to print and more of this things.

The only way i can type a letter is by typing ctrl and then one letter and then ctrl and type the other letter.

I don't know how i can fix that.

Has anyone of you had this roblem before?

I am now using my man's computer posting this post.

I made a trunk

I made a trunk in the same technic i showed you earlier.

Now i want to fill it.

Maybe with old toys or other vintage stuff.

I don't know yet.

I will put it in my big dollshouse.

More to come.

Tiles on and tiles of.

 I glued some tiles on, it was a real mozaik tiles.

 But every tile was not the same size.

I was not happy with it,

so i have to take of.

 You see, it is not right and not nice.

So i did take it of again.

It was a bit difficult to take the glue of, i had to do it with sandpaper.

New purchases and new project

Long time sinds my last blogpost here, because i only did put a part of my roof-tiles of my big dollshouse and a part of a bedspread that i crocheted and was not happy with.

So i had nothing to show you, but in the meantime i looked a lot at all your lovely blogs.

Today i do have something to show you.

I went last saterday at a miniature fair in the dollshouseshop "Mini-Wonders" in Wormerveer with my mother.

I bought some lovely miniatures and we had a lovely time.

This is what i bought:

I also bought  tree fimo-canes, one with a bear and one with a butterfly and one with a dragonfly, but they are so tiny that it's hard to make a good photo.

My mother and i also bought a woden corner to make  a scene in.

Ones a week my mother and i have a craft-night and we have decided

To make a new project were we make the same thing, ofcourse in our own version.

So we both bought the same woden corner.

We are going to make a hobby room/ atelier.

We only work on it on our craft-night and eveything in it we have to make ourselves...the only thing is maybe a scisser or a tool we already have.

So we don't gonna buy things for it.

I am gonna make a lot of photo's of how we make the things and try to explane how we didi it.

I think it's nice for the beginners out there to see how you can do this hobby without braking the bank.

Maybe i can share some tips  with the more experienced also.

I would love to here about your tips, so feel free to write me comments....I love them! :)

Bedspread,kuddly toys and modern chair.

Last week i went to a dollshouse fair in Rijswijk and i bought this modern design chair.

Perfect for one of the boys rooms, i want to make a corner desk to compleet the room.

I also bought a lot of stuffed animals, these two cuties.

And a couple more.

Yes and look my bedspread is finnished.

If you look good you see that one of the drawers in the bed is open, i want to fill this with a lot of toys.

I wish you all a nice weekend.

Laminated

I laminated the floor in one of the hallways

and in the boysroom

and in the other boysroom

in the girlsroom

all with this same laminate, it is the stuff you normally iron on the side of a planchet.

I only cut it in 1:12 size strips and ironed it on the mini floors.

The color is called in Dutch: Beuken

I think i did a good job.

It is looking like a modern floor to me, what do you think of it?

Mystery man

Who is this man?

What is in the box?

He is leaving the flowershop.

He is not working there, his clothes are more like a bussiness man.

My mother made me this man.

I am so happy with him!

I don't know his role jet.

For now i gave him a box and a sunflower in his hands, but that can be changed.

He is not the father of the house.

Do you have any sugestions?
