Now for a selection of dresses all in 1/12th scale


I love making dresses I am in the process of constructing a proper hoop to go under some types of dresses

A sweet bonnet with a matching muff
Pretty pink silk hat
Christmas hat and bonnet with matching muff

Ivory silk hat






Here is a selection of some of my hats and bonnets that I have made.  
I love making hats and bonnets it is such fun adding embellishments to them
The only limit is your imagination









Now for some more
These are some bouquets and plants that I have made





These tiny bears are a new addition to my makes.
The top two are needle felted and the bottom one is
knitted with 1 crochet cotton
Their joints are fixed in the sitting position and they measure about 1 1/4"sitting
This one is a little sweetie!





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.

These are two pretty hats that I have made recently.
The top one is made with ivory silk and has silk tulle swirled around the brim


This one is similar to the one above but is made with a lovely
pale gold silk and still has the silk tulle swirled around the brim.
I have many hats and other items that I have been making and thought that I would post them up here
It is made with beautiful ivory silk and the veil is made with silk ivory tulle. It would be lovely for a wedding setting.

I have cut large pieces of mount board the size of the rooms so that I can plan where particular items are going This is a really handy way of doing it.
