Well on the way now and some newly made miniature bags.

Yesterday I really progressed with my doll house and put the window settings in the roof. I am still not sure about the plastic windows that came with the dollhouse so I have blu tacked them into place to live with them for a while to see how I feel after a few days

In the meantime I have not been idle and made some new bags 

I love making bags!

Building my house update

Well work is proceeding on my dollhouse. The first problem I had after I had put together the basic carcass was my youngest granddaughters little fingers and hands. My temporary solution to that was to make some keep out signs and tapes to put across the front and it worked. I told her that the fairies, she believes I am best friends with fairies, put up the tapes as warnings.

However since then I have decided to work on the front of the house as that will be a more secure barrier. I have made up the front doors although I have not attached them to the house yet as it will be easier to work on the inside if I can remove them. I have finished the lower floors and am working on the window frames for the attic. A little difficult as I have to curve to roofs of the attic windows and it is not the easiest thing to do but getting there.

 

The actual windows in the kit are plastic and I am not sure that I like them very much so I am trying to decide on whether to make the windows out of strip wood, probably will.

In the meantime I have bought hundreds of wooden lolly stick which I am going to cut the curved ends off and then use them as floorboards, I think it will work.Let you know.

I have started my dollhouse

Yesterday and today I have really cracked on with my dollhouse. The basic carcass is glued together and I have begun to paint and decorate the rooms before I finish putting it together as it is more accessible that way. I am really determined to keep doing a bit every day to get the assembling done so that I can start the exciting job of fitting out the house. Keep watching!

Capes

Today I at last finished the two fur capes I have been making, one short and one long. I do like the short one but to be honest the fine fur fabric I have used on the long one is so beautiful, soft and hangs wonderfully. I think I will be making a short one in the finer fur fabric. I just think it will be nicer. Still you never know how things are going yo work out until you try and I think I will probably used the longer pile fabric for something different. Maybe a fur rug would be nice and it would work fine as that. I do like the short one but it just hasn't turned out quite as I wanted
