Another basket

Just finished another basket, this is addictive.... It is not as fine as the first one but due to the colored tread the effect is quite charming.

Just to see the difference between the two baskets, I've placed them next to eachother.

Another workshop

basket





Yesterday I followed a workshop from Gabriëlle, wicker a basket. It was lovely! I really enjoyed it and am afraid that I will make more baskets in the future....
I had hardly finished or one of the dolls decided to take the basket for some shopping. As far as I can see, she is quite enjoying it.

Some hair

Finally one of my dolls has hair, she has been waiting for a long time te get some hair. Therefor she didn't want to be included in a photograph. Now she doesn't mind if I take a picture, maybe she doesn't even notice since she is so busy with her lace making.

Her husband and a friend are enjoying a game of chess.

details of the quilt exposition

Like in a real quiltexhibition you will find a stand with fabric and books for the enthousiast. Will she buy a ready to quilt panel?

This lady might go for one of the books on patchwork and quilting. There is enough choice, 3 boxes full of books....

Eventhough there are signs (in dutch) not to touch the quilts there are always some people who can't resist the urge....

Having builders in....

Having builders in, not in my real house but in my miniature world... actually the only builder in, is me in my old cloths.

original shop

shop with the new terras and opening for the french doors

Last year I bought a second hand shop in a sale. I thought it perfect for a country style shop. At home I started to put in all the little things I had collected over time... and soon discovered that I had a lot of outdoor items.... and the shop was not exactly large. So I hesitated a long time but now finally I decided it was time to build a terras along the shop for all the outdoor stuff. After removing one of the large windows I opened the wall for the french doors.

On the terras area there is space for all the outdoor items

Inside is more room for all the small items I have collected over time and for items I will make

Once I have finished rebuilding, I can hang all the shelves and start filling the shop

Now with the new space I have more room to display all the items I already collected over time. So just to see how it might look like, I displayed some of it and made some photographs, sorry for the poor quality of those.

For the coming time I will have to eat loads off eggs since the bricks to cover the outside of the shop are made from eggboxes.....
