Still working on my Miniature House, rather quietly......reaching completion slowly....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have another corner in my 1:12 house that feels like there's nothing to add anymore; it's in the "blue attic". To start with I bought a wooden piece of furniture and painted it. </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I made two suitcases out of foamboard, fabric, wire and strips of painted paper. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added a tiny pile of "lace and linen", held together with a ribbon. </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make things complete, I cut a piece of mirror-sheet, aged it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and glued it into a kind of metal embellishment I bought. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I made two pieces handsoap (if you like to know how: http://michaelas-miniaturen.beeplog.de/151819_480971.htm) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally placing a lovely watering can from Elisabeth Causeret on top of the dressing table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And here it is.....another step taken in decorating my doll's house.</div>

To my fellow bloggers I would like to say; it's a bit more quiet in "Blog-land" than it used to be, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I am happy you are still updating your blogs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For I visit them as much as I can and your posts keep me inspired.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My thanks to all of you!</div>

After having made some umbrella's (http://liduina88.blogspot.nl/2016/10/umbrella.html) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I turned my attention to making walking sticks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then of course an umbrella stand to put them in :-D</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I found a really helpful tutorial on making umbrella's: <a href="http://wasting-gold-paper.blogspot.nl/2013/03/easy-parasolumbrella-tutorial.html">http://wasting-gold-paper.blogspot.nl/2013/03/easy-parasolumbrella-tutorial.html</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I practiced a little and made a few myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day I'll put some of them in the downstairs hall of my Miniature House.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-em-of6Ge4qM/V9PjvyQUkeI/AAAAAAAACy0/Xyo8KBuJrcA7O4BuxKkTMji7sHo4i3PJgCPcB/s1600/20160910_122316WM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-em-of6Ge4qM/V9PjvyQUkeI/AAAAAAAACy0/Xyo8KBuJrcA7O4BuxKkTMji7sHo4i3PJgCPcB/s320/20160910_122316WM.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Actually, it all started with this little chinese teapot I found in a shop years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to create a kind of "chinese corner" in my attic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I made a tiny sidetable to place the teapot on. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT8a0zjQ9XHK2xADwc85lAH_gkehEDDjXatLXpfiQ8xc0vcI-KJuUTbbyAnBpVuuLGGjPRYbcvFz1NM5pEw9Exsp5ul3dqjup35JxSfOewk07gUktSSfhCx1dQ8tj-_YiuUrBFnOYa3ELI/s1600/20160910_122518WM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT8a0zjQ9XHK2xADwc85lAH_gkehEDDjXatLXpfiQ8xc0vcI-KJuUTbbyAnBpVuuLGGjPRYbcvFz1NM5pEw9Exsp5ul3dqjup35JxSfOewk07gUktSSfhCx1dQ8tj-_YiuUrBFnOYa3ELI/s320/20160910_122518WM.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I next changed a readymade chair so it would be more in harmony with the teapot&table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see the way the chair used to look like <br />
in the picture below, though I used one with armrests of course :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Adding a picture and perhaps in future more things....<br />
But for now I think it's okay like this.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When I assembled my dollhouse kit "De Cameleon" from Karweipost back in 2007 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just one chimney (the square one on the roof at the back of the house) was part of the design. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I wanted a hearth in almost every room of the house, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I added another chimney to the right hand side of it. </div>
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I later improved the top of the chimneys. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The one at the back of the roof got a better top </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by adding some paper covered by plaster.</div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To enhance the one on the side of the house, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made some pipes out of wood and paper, stained them </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and glued them in place on a layer of plaster.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Somehow, the sewing room has become the second room in my </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Miniature House I regard "finished". ( First one was the bathroom, see my post http://liduina88.blogspot.nl/2013/08/bathroom.html)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I changed my mind and placed the table with the sewing machine on top of it, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> in front of the window</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I collected all accessories I had made before and started shifting them around, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
arranging them untill I felt happy about it. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next to the bathroom in my Miniature House a deep but narrow space was left in which a cupboard could be placed, but not much more than that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided this would become a place to sew and mend clothes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I bought a cupboard, a chair, a mannequin and a sewing machine.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I changed the chair I bought and made a table to put the sewing machine on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Together with the cupboard I painted all pieces in the same colour.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then started dressing the mannequin. I always stiffen fabric by using "Paverpol".</div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When this was finished I thought it would be nice to add a mirror....</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
That done, I made the accessories and a small table to exhibit them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sewing machine will be placed in front of the bathroom in future.....</div>

I wasn't happy any more with the way I created the ceiling in the upstairs bedroom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time to improve! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all I decided to paint the whole ceiling and the upper part of the walls again </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in order to soften the pink I had used. </div>
<br />

But I also needed to cover ugly cracks, like shown in the picture beneath. ( I used an acrylic medium for this, look at my blogpost <a href="http://liduina88.blogspot.nl/2016/02/downstairs-hall.html">http://liduina88.blogspot.nl/2016/02/downstairs-hall.html</a>)</div>

I sometimes cut my brushes short so I can more easily paint the inside of the house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In his way I painted the ceiling including the ornament.</div>

Finally I put back all the furniture. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made all pieces years ago except for the mirror; that I made more recently when I found and bought the beautiful wooden ornaments in the corners of it.</div>

A dear friend of mine crocheted a lovely round carpet especially for my Miniature House. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dyed it in a very soft pink color with help of some crepe paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's lovely but so subtle it only shows in real life; in the picture it actually appears white.....</div>

Recently I bought Ilona's ( http://minimumloon.blogspot.nl/) gorgeous Agapanthus </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at the Dolls House fair in Ulft, The Netherlands. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I was already in possession of lovely tulips made by her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I found a place for them all in my Miniature House. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so happy with this addition! Thank you, Ilona, for your beautiful miniatures!</div>

I think the Agapanthus is a real eye catcher in this spot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides, it's a shady place so I don't have to be worried</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that direct sunlight will harm the colour of it.</div>

By now almost all windows of my Miniature House have curtains. </div>

For the curtain rail in the attic I got inspiration from </div>

the French doors leading to the balcony.</div>

I have been busy making curtains for the blue bay window and the living room downstairs in my Miniature House. I begun with making curtains for my blue bay window.<br />

<br />
I wanted a nice curve in my curtain, so the upper part would be broad and it would get real narrow in the spot I wanted to have it tied together with a bow. To avoid imprints from my pins, I shove a piece of flexible plastic between the pins and my curtain. After drying I glued on tiny bows and stuck the curtains to the alcoves.<br />

<br />
In order to decorate the living room I made a wooden alcove and painted it white with a primer before covering it with fabric. <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
I cut a piece of fabric the right size. Years ago I read in a doll's house magazine about using toothpicks for making real small folds in thin fabric. So I glued some strips of toothpicks on a piece of wood.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Yck43Vc0XnQ/VvFjL6BjtvI/AAAAAAAAClA/ApfBa2Qs4T8ZrSLg3wx0Pq289vAgwPiIA/s1600/20160322_154606WM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Yck43Vc0XnQ/VvFjL6BjtvI/AAAAAAAAClA/ApfBa2Qs4T8ZrSLg3wx0Pq289vAgwPiIA/s320/20160322_154606WM.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next I used a kind of spray which is used to stiffen your blouses while ironing. It's called Crack Free (one can buy it in dutch supermarket Albert Heijn).<br />
I really soaked the textile with it and started pushing the fabric in the strips of toothpicks.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
After drying I glued it in the alcove, together with the long parts of the curtains.<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I started working on the hall downstairs my Miniature House I decided to locate a toilet beneath the stairs. So I shifted the door that gave access to the living room. I made a tiny room and placed it into the house. It then looked like this:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DBMV50734nM/Vrt8S9nN7NI/AAAAAAAACio/U7h_Eqa9wCs/s1600/wcbenedenWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DBMV50734nM/Vrt8S9nN7NI/AAAAAAAACio/U7h_Eqa9wCs/s320/wcbenedenWM.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I decorated the toilet room and glued it in place. I painted the ceiling and put a ceiling ornament around the lamp. I made a floor of wooden sticks, painted it and made use of a brass stencil to add a decorative pattern. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
After that I didn't feel satisfied..... I decided to add some ceiling lists made of cardboard. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_G9fDOGZwlQ/Vrt8O6nGqII/AAAAAAAACik/tdxPGPqywn0/s1600/20120128_083245wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_G9fDOGZwlQ/Vrt8O6nGqII/AAAAAAAACik/tdxPGPqywn0/s320/20120128_083245wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Though I glued them well to the ceiling, some ugly cracks appeared.....</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P4R1vfzzOsY/Vrt8Ox0SoxI/AAAAAAAACik/ElXGSWykeiA/s1600/20120128_234548WM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P4R1vfzzOsY/Vrt8Ox0SoxI/AAAAAAAACik/ElXGSWykeiA/s320/20120128_234548WM.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>

</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I filled the cracks with Amsterdam Heavy Gel Medium Mat and painted them over with some left over paint I used on the ceiling. That looked much better!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Iq-t22WaF8/Vrt8Oy32KFI/AAAAAAAACik/2lbKkAoAbcg/s1600/20120205_025634WM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Iq-t22WaF8/Vrt8Oy32KFI/AAAAAAAACik/2lbKkAoAbcg/s320/20120205_025634WM.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I made some plinths/baseboards. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One can make lovely baseboards (as well as ceiling lists) out of cereal boxes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The places the boxes are folded are great to use. When treated with glue and paint they are easily tot cut with a craft knife or scissors, even a small saw!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
After that, I felt like adding some wall panels. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still had a pretty piece of wallpaper in my stock; I glued it on a piece of cardboard and painted it.</div>
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a kind of hanging cupboard or wallunit. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to make some working blinds for my Miniature House. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After looking closely at real life blinds and pictures of miniature ones, I gave it a try. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below some pictures of my work in progress and the final results. </div>

<br />
<br />
Last week I began decorating the verandah. I thought it would be nice to have a garden seat there....<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the picture above you can see a chair and table I made years ago with help of a tutorial out of a dutch dollshouse magazine ( Poppenhuizen & Miniaturen, 2002, part 56 page 47).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2wrTxiuYfTo/UiiYEeWv36I/AAAAAAAAB18/RWWXJuNtAJo/s1600/20130905_163539.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2wrTxiuYfTo/UiiYEeWv36I/AAAAAAAAB18/RWWXJuNtAJo/s320/20130905_163539.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Somehow I did not like the fresh, bright colour of the furniture I had made, so I stained it a bit darker. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UDN2-Ar3rzQ/UiiYDTXj4oI/AAAAAAAAB1w/mAztn8BpWCc/s1600/20130905_142902.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UDN2-Ar3rzQ/UiiYDTXj4oI/AAAAAAAAB1w/mAztn8BpWCc/s400/20130905_142902.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I placed it on the verandah of my Miniature House and I think the colour now matches nicely with the brown/red of the brickwall. I'll have to do a lot more work on the porch before it's finished, but I made a good start with this garden seat, I think :D</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Last saturday I received Tatiana's coffeegrinder she gave away some time ago.( Check out her post: <a href="http://mylittlelittledream.blogspot.nl/2013/08/miniature-cofee-grinder.htm">http://mylittlelittledream.blogspot.nl/2013/08/miniature-cofee-grinder.htm</a>). Isn't it beautiful!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I immediately started moving the coffeegrinder around in the kitchen of my Miniature House.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Apart from the chimney there is still a lot of work to do to on my kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Inspired by Tatiana's gift I decided to continue working on it, focussing on the cooker beneath the chimney.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is the black cooker the way I bought it....</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below you can see how the cooker looks now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tatiana's coffeegrinder is in the upper right of the picture;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it looks very nice on the chimney like this.</div>

Along with the coffeegrinder, Tatiana also sent me a bouquet of lovely roses (she made it herself, I guess). Now it has a special place in the living room: <br />

A few years ago I made a bathroom in my Miniature House by creating a separated space in one of the bedrooms. Up till now it looked rather empty with only a bath and a sink in it.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the past month I spent time on making miniatures to decorate my bathroom with. You can see the result below. Now the bathroom is the first room to be completed in my Miniature House! </div>

Inspired by the recent give-away on "Basketcase Miniatures" I began looking in my own collection of miniatures for a round basket I had once made in a workshop, given by dutch miniaturist Will Werson. (<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.willwersonminiaturen.com/"><strong>www.willwersonminiaturen.com</strong></a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

I felt encouraged to try and make a copy of my own "real life" laundry basket. After measuring my 1:1 basket I made a mold out of paper and filled it with plaster. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Below you can see the pictures of the way I worked to create my mini-basket. Two tutorials helped me a lot in this proces: <a href="http://jicolin.free.fr/techvannerie.htm">http://jicolin.free.fr/techvannerie.htm</a> and <a href="http://1inchminisbykris.blogspot.nl/2011/07/weaving-basket-with-crochet-thread.html">http://1inchminisbykris.blogspot.nl/2011/07/weaving-basket-with-crochet-thread.html</a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I made two more beds and I enjoyed working on them a lot! I think I will choose the black one to furnish the attic of my "Miniature House".</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you want to know how to construct the black bed you can find a pin with a link to a tutorial on my Pinterest Board "Miniature Tutorials (<a href="http://pinterest.com/Liduina88/miniaturetutorials">http://pinterest.com/Liduina88/miniaturetutorials</a>). The mattrasses are made with help of a tutorial by 1inchminisbykris.blogspot.com</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The accessories shown in this post are all made by myself except for the lovely knitwork on the black bed; it's a beautiful scarf knitted by Anne <span style="color: black;">from </span><a href="http://ateljelillahjartat.blogspot.nl/"><span style="color: black;">http://ateljelillahjartat.blogspot.nl/</span></a><span style="color: black;">.</span></div>

Do you remember my last post? I complained about my failure in making a faux iron bed. I received so many comments on this: encouragements, lots of handy trics, good advice and honest opinions.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want to thank you all so much for it pushed me back in motion again. I even started working on <em>three </em> beds to be able to put all your advice in practice!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this post I will show you the first bed I have finished by now. I completed the paint job and then dressed the bed. Have a look back at my former post to see the difference. I am pleased with the way it looks now! Thanks again; your comments have been very valuable to me!<br />

Whenever I believe I know a technique that can be of use to you, I am glad to share it. But I am not afraid to share my failures as well. I wanted make a faux iron bed myself and this is what happend.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I decided to try and make a faux iron bed, using all sorts of materials; fabric, wood, paper, beads, pins, etc.<br />
It took me a days of trial and error to figure out how to keep all these tiny particles together.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">And this is what it looked like after endless spray-painting. <br />
I guess I needed over 10 layers of spray paint to finally cover the colour of the beads and lace. <br />
I used a primer first and next an expensive finish. I nearly suffocated in a cloud of spray paint.</td></tr>

When I have regained my courage, I will try again. But in that case I will definitely use an easy tutorial I found on Pinterest and make a very modest bed. Your tips and trics are very welcome!<br />

This picture is the first one you will see when you visit Anne's blog: <a href="http://ateljelillahjartat.blogspot.nl/">http://ateljelillahjartat.blogspot.nl/</a><br />
It is a favorite scene to me: beautiful in its calmness and simplicity. Nothing overdone or "just too much". And I really admire Anne's crochetwork....in the picture you can see she has used lovely colours to crochet some baskets. <br />
<br />
Some time ago I won one of Anne's selfmade Pelargoniums. A very pretty pink one. (thank you so much, Anne!). But when I received her parcel I opened it and although she had wrapped it very carefully, the terracotta pot was broken! Fortunately her precious flower was undamaged.....<br />

<br />
<br />
I decided to make a new pot myself, inspired on and dedicated to Anne's lovely crochetwork.....<br />
However; to crochet a long string is as far as my own crochet-skills reach, so I had to satisfy myself with it.<br />
In this post I will show you how I made a tiny basket myself using a crocheted thread. <br />
Perhaps most of you will already know the technique I used. Those people can scroll directly down to the last picture :D<br />
