WIP/ Dollhouse

 I crossed path's with a lovely man who's been doing carpentry and architectural work for 40 years. He was kind enough to teach me the basics. He helped me built the house above...it's not perfect but it's a start. It's a new beginning to many more to come.

  I've been creating with cardboard since I was a little girl. I created a Barbie doll dresser with removeable draws when I was a little girl among other things. I enjoy creating.

This house is made with felt and cardboard for stability. The house opens so I will be making a doll and some furniture to complete this house. This will be another pattern for sale.

 The ribbon is to close the front of house.

Sneak Preview Of A Crochet Mini Doll Living Room Furniture And A 5" Mini Crochet Doll

 This crochet furniture pattern will be available soon to download. It fits 5" - 5 1/2" dolls. I especially made this furniture for the 5" inch crochet dolls you see in the picture. Since the dolls are a variation of Beth Webber's Mini Free Spirit crochet dolls I was given permission to post the variation's so you can also create the 5" crochet dolls. I will post it after I finished the crochet pattern for a bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom.

Psst...Look What You Can Do With A 5dollar Second Hand Jewelry Box

I bought this jewelry box for only five dollars and it's a music box as well.

I know it's been awhile since I've posted. first my laptop went out of commission for about a month. I had to replace the motherboard twice. I'm also going back and forth to court pending an eviction...I'm a bit burned out and overwhelmed that I've started to develop a bit of migraine headaches. I'm doing the best I can...I can use lots of positive prayers from all of you.

Enough of  that disappointing news...let's get back to arts and crafts.

It has three extra draws in the inside.

I took off all the handles. Then I sanded down the whole  jewelry box.

I used CLR to get rid of all the gook that was on all the handles.

I began to paint it with acrylic paint.

I started to build on decor painting.

I finally added the flowers.

Viola!

I can also use this as a big piece of furniture for a doll that's the right scale for this jewelry box size.

Sweet Little Darlings Felt Doll Pattern

 Sweet Little Darlings only measure 4 inches tall when completed. Her eyes are simply made with a french knot or you can use your own imagination. She is really simple to make. The supplies are fairly easy to get...for instance I used shish cobob sticks for the umbrella. The pattern is for sale on my etsy shop or on the right hand side bar here on my blog just scroll down and Click Add to cart. She can be made for a broach, ornament, a paper clip using a clothespin, a magnet, or a doll for your doll. She happens to be one of my favorite felt doll that I've created thus far.

 

Skinny Mini ePattern In Felt And A New Blossom Raggedy

I so love the Skinny Mini in cloth that I decided to make her in a felt pattern for those that prefer making felt dolls. her limbs are rolled up felt so no need for cotton cords like the ones I use to make the cloth doll Skinny Mini. She measures 5 1/2 inches tall when completed. The epattern is available on my Etsy shop or you can purchase it here on my blog on the the right hand side bar just scroll down and Click Add to cart.

This new and latest Blossom Raggedy is a custom made doll for my Aunt. She wanted one of these dolls for her grand-daughters birthday coming up next weekend.

WHEW!...have I been busy.

Everyone enjoy your weekend.
