Valentine's day

For Valentines day some people are lucky and get breakfast in bed....

Who made this breakfast?

What will she write in her diary about the breakfast? Or is she reading what she wrote last year on Valentine's day?

Nel's house

A few years ago I received a dollshouse. It is an old house, over 80 years, unfortunately it was damaged in some parts by woodworm, so some renovation had to take place. After the repair of the damaged areas, I had to wallpaper again, so I could make the interior more the way I like it. With the house came some furniture and accessoires and most of them I kept with the house, sometimes painted the furniture so that it fitted better to the new style.
The house was built by the father of the lady who gave the house to me. After renovation she has seen the house and liked what I did.

The front of the house



The back of the house

The house is not very big, just four rooms and opens at the back. I've included a sitting room, a kitchen, a master bedroom and a children's room.

The sitting room



The kitchen with the chicken theme

 

The dishes and other kitchenware are decorated with a chicken rooster decoration which is popular here in country style kitchens

The lady of the house is still in bed
 

The bedroom of little Nellie



 

The wallpaper and curtains have a Beatrix Potter theme


 

Cheap furniture can easily be painted to fit the room

Mobile again

Even in the miniture world modern inventions are added. In a workshop from Bert Aarts in het Netherlands I have made this

Now the elderly doll is mobile again. He really enjoys going around again and visiting shops and meeting friends.

Shop

After making a quiltexhibition I decided I needed a shop for supplies. So I started to build a shop with knitting wool and fabric for miniature quilts. Very quickly the room was to small so I enlarged the space, but it is still hardly big enough.

The shop front. It is called "steekje los"

Inside the shop you find the wool and cotton for knitting, and accessoires for embroidery.

Behind the counter it is quit messy.

In the window you can see some of the item sold inside.

Quilt exposition in miniature

Since I love making miniature quilts and couldn't put more in my houses, I decided to make a quilt exhibition a few years ago. Now I can change or add new quilts.
