It's time to show you my next project: Hunnibabies' Cottage.
Here's the front already covered with vertical siding.
I had forgotten the little front window at the top. So I had to carefully cut it out with a box cutter.
This is the porch floor flipped over so you can see the underside. It will wrap around one side.
The downstairs is almost done. Just missing window trims and the mantel is not yet glued down.
I made a little bed. I used 1/16th bass wood for the head/footboards(about 3 3/8" x 2 1/8"), a square dowel(2 3/4" long) for the legs and a left over piece of wood(2 3/4" x 6 3/4") for the bottom of the bed.
I sewed the bedding from cotton fabric. The blue fabric I dyed by putting a few drops of blue acrylic paint in water. I made the roses on the bed out of fabric.
There will be no jumping on the bed in this house!
Thanks for coming over! I am feeling much better by the way. I can now walk! I'm still being very careful. But I can now get back to my normal speed of making minis. :) Thanks for all your sweet thoughts, words and kind prayers.
Jeepers - your work rate is extraordinary - and every single house is an absolute delight. Light, airy and enchanting, this one - just lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear the leg is improving too...

So good to hear that walking is working again :-) And that mini-speed is back to normal - though I am not sure what that means since it seems to me that your production rate is phenomenal - as are your houses ......
