Been having a rough time with health recently so not really done much lately. However been trying to finish a few projects that I have started and not finished before so thought I would post some of the finished items just to prove that I have not been entirely idle.



Firstly some hats that I have been working on and now finished

This is a lovely dollhouse cape that I made out of the most beautiful pink silk and then did some silk ribbon embroidery on. I am very pleased with it





A really beautiful dress that can be used as a wedding dress or as a ballgown I am very pleased with the way this worked out although it took days and days to finish.


Below are two other dresses that I have finished also very pretty.

Today I have finished a new miniature dress. I am really happy with it. The pictures do not really convey how pretty it is

The dress is made with a beautiful fine ivory silk. The skirt is decorated with tiny silk ribbon bows. At the head of the sleeves is an ivory silk ribbon bow on each finished with a little detail of tiny pearl beads

A long time ago I used to make dressed beds so thought that I would post a couple of pictures here of the ones I still have. I used to love making these but the lovely man who used to turn the posts for me became ill and I have not made another one for many years. I still have a couple of sets of posts left so maybe one day I will get around to making more. May even find a new maker for my turned  posts if I am lucky.


This was a very pretty bed with very delicate drapes and beautiful bedding. someone once said to me that they could just snuggle up in there if only they were small enough
This bed was draped with beautiful red velvet curtains which are lined with gold
silk This is one of my favorite beds.

This is my very favorite bed made with ivory silk.

This is a close up of the interior of the bed
Here you can see the draped more clearly.
