I'll have my Etsy shop cinderellamoments.etsy.com restocked August 17th.

Tracie Dean of Dean Designs has put a gorgeous post up about my book on her blog. 

Thank you Tracie! You are a sweetheart!!



I'm working on some commissioned orders.  One is another teeny weeny Streamside Studio. This one is going to Hawaii.
It's a 1/4th scale dollhouse.  

Cutting out all the windows and door is the hardest. I wish I could find some little tool to get the job done faster and easier. If any of you have a tip please share it with me! I cut these out with my utility/box cutter knife.

In these small houses instead of adding wood or siding to it(which would make it too chunky) I carve out the grooves of the wood floor and wainscoting. I used the box cutter for this.

You can also see the "tin" ceiling. I used the hot glue gun to make a very simple design 3D. I used my big glue gun not the little one. I found it  actually makes no difference if you use the small or big glue gun. Same result.

This is the tiny door.

I'm also working on a 1/12 project called 'phoebe's Cottage"

Downstairs has pink polka dot wallpaper and cream beadboard and gray floors.

Upstairs has a very exposed board plaster wall with little remnants of pink wallpaper. I'm not sure how I will finish this wall. I think I need an aging treatment.

Doing an exposed wall is very simple. Just lay down plaster liberally. Then cut craft sticks in half lengthwise and you'll have little lats. Squoosh the lats into the plaster making sure the plaster oozes out in between. Then I'll probably sand it a bit when it has dried for a cleaner look.

The sweet fireplace is almost ready. I'll be making some big "tin" tiles to put inside.
Until next time!
