This and That

I've been working on some little projects.  My next house will be shabby chic white and gray.
 I finally made a Trumeau mirror!  I saw Susi's of Mini Eden. She has a shop on Etsy MiniEdenTienda where I saw her mirrors and I finally saw how to do these! Thanks Susi!

 I made this little key holder. I think this was the side of a chair or some bit of dollhouse? I can't remember. But I loved the heart cut out and saved it. I twisted wires into hooks and done!
And I needed a slip covered chair. So I took a wood frame and glued batting on it.
I've reupholstered human sized stuff before. So I figured I'd do this mini the same easy way. I pinned the fabric on reverse side. Sewed it all and flipped it over to get a loose fitting slip cover.
I did it in one swift swoosh! I was afraid to get lost and confused if I stopped.
The little pillow has some burlap. This one is for the shabby chic house too. I also have the chandeliers ready to go.  Now I just need to build it!
I made this bed for the 4th of July house. It will go upstairs to make a cute little girl's room.
I glued the ruffles on. Sewing them was making them unravel.
This bed is made from more left over stuff. The headboard and footboard are pieces of railing for some house's front porch. I used shutters on the sides of the bed.
And finally, I made a mailbox. More scraps glued together.
Thanks for coming over!

  2. Caroline...
    Oh, this is going to be a fun cottage to watch come together.

    I don't have a clue what kind of mirror that is...must hop on over and check it out.

    I can see now that there are a lot of pieces left over from each kit to create new items.... I know I have a bunch just from this first cottage.
    I'm having the best time with Storybook... I can't seem to stop with the outside...hopefully I'll move inside SOON.
    Your chair is fantastic...as is the cute little bed.
    Wish I could figure out what my room was going to be???? Guess that will happen real soon.
    Have fun mini playing.
    I'm always excited when I see your newest post.

  14. Judging by what you have so far this is going to be a GORGEOUS one!!! LOOOOOVE the bed! I have a few ruffle things pinned on Pinterest and one of them is a ruffle throw and looks like what you've done for your bed. =) I never thought to miniaturize any of it, but I think you're on to something....lol.

    I really love the things you come up with. Your blog always makes me smile. =)

  15. Hi Caroline,
    Love the lil chair you made, it came out so cute, as well as did everything, can't wait to see how you use it all in your new lil house.

    Yea, I am feeling lots better, still get coughing jags every once in awhile, but been much better today with that. The wedding was a lot of fun, and we needed to get out after being sick for so long.

    Have a good rest of the week hon,
    Blessings, Nellie

  16. Your new house will be perfection - as usual! I think my favourite part is the ruffled pink bedding! If my hubby wouldn't toss it out instantly, I'd make one and put it on my own bed just for fun! I'll have to see what I can come up with sometime and make one for a tiny bed of my own! Great job!
