Miniature shabby chic roombox

Rosemary, the sweet, sweet lady I work with asked me to do a roombox for her granddaughter's graduation. She bought some of the items and the rest I made or purchased. It's done in one of those shadowboxes from Michael's that looks like a book that opens up.

I will be putting a diploma on the right wall under the picture.

I made the memory board with balsa wood, batting, fabric and ribbon. The bottom right picture is of her and her sisters.

The "Love" letters were in a $3 grab bag at the thrift store. They were silver plastic. I made the cupcakes. The cute bag and matching box are a kit from Syreeta's Miniatures.

 That's a graduation cap in the right corner and the box next to it is a printie from cdhm.

The luggage is a purchase from the Tom Bishop show. I wish I remembered the name of the lady. Also got the shoes, guitar and shoe box kit at the show.

Miniature Felted Pea Coat

Made some mini felted pea coats. Might sell a kit on my etsy if I can get it together. Don't mind the unevenness of the mustard colored one - it was my first and the template has changed since then :) DH says the red and white one looks like a man's pajama shirt. Heh.

Mr. Rabbeler's cousins

Made a few of Mr. Rabbeller's relatives. Knitted them some sweaters. Made some baked goods for them. :)

The middle guy might be too husky for a sweater.

New mini bathroom cabinet, pillows, etc.

Made a bathroom shelving unit with towels, washcloths, perfumes, bath salts, etc. The perfume bottle is one of those rubber closet feet from Home Depot painted pink with a bead on top and a label. The balls across the top are a gold string of beads spray painted.

Just acquired the little figurine of a girl posting a letter from Lolly's. Love it! Made the paper flowers and painted, glossed a wooden bowl for them.

New pillow shams and matching throw pillow. I bought some more lace from Tiny Tique and used it on the duvet and pillows - much improved bed linens.

 

Also rearranged the bedroom to make room for the table I built from candle holder, tongue depressors and a cd. The chairs are from polymer clay and business cards. If there's interest I will post the tutorial. Made the pitcher from Marlie's tute and the hydrangeas in Lolly's group.

My craft room

Northeast facing windows. Redwood floors. Never enough tabletop space, but I love this room!

Trying to stay organized.

Brookhaven is on a rolling table.

Made this bulletin board from a frame, cork and scrapbook papers.

Piper's Christmas - the perfect petite blythe holiday

Piper saw her first Christmas tree. The bears brought it in from the forest and decorated it for her while she slept. She wore her new holiday dress from the Netherlands - thank you Jessica!

Under the tree was a present from her Aunt Rose! She made Piper a mini-me paper doll with 4 adorable mini dresses - just her style, and a rabbit and bear for mini Piper.

 

Entranced by her mini-me.

This calls for a sleigh ride to Mr. Rabbeler's house to show him the new dress and presents and wish him a merry Christmas!

Chrismas in the dollhouse - mini holiday decor

Got the painting above the fireplace from Amber at MyDollhousePictures on etsy. I made dressed up the garland with gold items.

I bought the adorable snowflake cookies from Leslie at TinyTuffets on etsy. Had to make a couple of fun purchases for the holiday season - they were calling to me!

The tree could use a couple more ornaments. Maybe over actual Christmas I'll put some more on.

Got some really cute reindeer cookies from Jennifer Tuttle at miniholiday on etsy.

Mini Pink Christmas Roombox

Thought a pink Christmas would be fun. This actually came together faster and with less effort than a lot of my projects. I think it was because the space was so small and I really stuck with my theme: pink. It was really fun and put me in the spirit to tackle the dollhouse living room with Christmas!

 

Thank you gift for my followers: miniature book printies

I'm up to 50 followers! Thanks everyone! Here is a link to a pdf of some book covers that I gathered/photographed. They are the ones I used to make a bunch of the books in my dollhouse. They are 1/12, but I have them in half scale if you'd like. I also have them in word if you'd like to edit for yourself and I have more if you like these. Just drop me a line and I can email them to you. :)

Miniature binder clip handbags: yay for quickie mini purses!

OMG! These handbags take, like, 10 minutes each. They are so easy and quick and all you have to have is a few binder clips (stolen from the office, of course) and some fabric and tiny rope. Someone named Martin Løkke created it and had it published in Mini 1 til 12 online mag. Go to page 7 of the latest issue (issue 9) to see the tutorial. Martin - you're a mini genius!
