Not at all done..

I thought I was done and I was trying to put the house together, but I could not get it to work. I almost went crazy over that house.. How hard can it be?! I gave up and ask my husband, and after a long while he realized that I had the back upside down... Easy to fix, or... not really since I had done the wallpapers all ready, upside down =( The room I thought were the kitchen is really the bedroom, and the bathroom is the livingroom and so on =( I got so mad and sad. All my hard work, such a waste!!
I just had to remove the wallpapers on the back, and remake it! As you know I've made two rooms with napkins, so I had to remove them completely, it was quite easy using water and a brush, but it took me awhile... Then I had to paint some more white and then I could do it all over again. I am lucky I had more napkins left, I only had 5 of the one for the bedroom, and I already used 4, so I was really careful with the last one..

But, my daughter refused to sleep for a few days now (at daytime, and she slept poorly on one night too..) and all a sudden I had not even one minute to spend on my dollhouse =( Today she slept for almost one hour, so I rushed and got it done, again =) but.... I tried a new technique and placed the napkin on the wall and brushed glue all over it. It was a bit hard, you got to be careful, and don't tear it apart with the wet brush. I thought it looked all right at first, but when it dried I saw all the wrinkles.. so I have to do it all over again... (and use my old technique and paint the glue on to the wall and then place the napkin on top) How many times can something go wrong??
Hopefully will my daughter sleep tomorrow so that I can do that last wallpaper one last time (I really hope its the last time) and after that I can FINALLY put the house back together again....
3 out of 4 rooms are done now... Only that last room left now... it seems like forever until I get it done..

But my carpet is moving along, although I had to redo a lot of stitches too.. I think its hard to count when I do only half cross stitches..
But I keep going =)

  2. Jeg har mødt en dame det har lavet masser af decoupage på æsker m.m. Hun putter limen på emnet og så lægger hun servietten på, og alt hvad hun har lavet har været så fint. Jeg har jo også prøvet og ikke været så heldig. Engang vil jeg gerne finde nogle flotte sort og hvide motiver og sætte dem på enkelte steder på vores sommer hus gulv. Jeg skal bare også lige have styr på teknikken.
    Giv ikke op, prøv igen og igen...smil

    1. Det går bra med danska med =) Kan jag svara på svenska då?
      Jag började med att sätta lim på väggen och sedan sätta dit servetten, det gick bra ibland och mindre bra ibland. Sen testade jag detta nya sätt att ta servetten först, men det verkar vara bättre med lim först.
      Det finns så många fina servetter så jag hoppas du hittar en fin svart/vit som du vill ha. Öva lite först så får du nog till det sen =)

  3. Have fun in the garden. We are promised warm weather last in the week, here in Denmark.
    Sweet and very girly furniture. I love pink and yes just colors.
    Nice little cozy scene.

  4. Si que es un poco rollo repetir las cosas, pero tómatelo con tranquilidad. Y con la alfombra hay que tener mucha paciencia pero el resultado al final es muy satisfactorio.

    1. Ja, det var ju inte så farligt egentligen, men jag blev så trött och trodde att jag hade slut på servetten till sovrummet, men jag hade tur och hade en kvar =)
