If you don't have a clue what you wanna do, be careful with the glue...

I'm sick =( It started out with a sudden urge to clean the house last week... I picked up things just to get them to their rightful place, and after a few days of this, it got worse, and I vacuumed the whole house and swabbed some of the floors and cleaned the toilet and the sink and did the laundry and the washing-up. But then I got so tired and just like that I got a sore throat. And then the cold hit me, with headache and fever. I couldn't even work with my miniatures for a couple of days, I was only sleeping and lying on the couch. It is boring to just lye down for a whole week..

But I can feel how I'm starting to come back now =) And I have been able to do some more details for my cabin. 

NOT the best picture.. but I added a doormat (a small piece of leather, upside down) And under a gutter I found some moss that I thought look like a bush or something =)

And I added some curtains =) I just realized I forgot to make curtains for the upper window..

I like yellow for the kitchen, so I couldn't resist this yellow fabric for the windows =)

I also added a blanket for the bed and a rug, made of tread like I did this one: http://hannahsminiatyrer.blogspot.se/2011/03/det-kommer-en-del-nya-inlagg-i-rad-nu.html Very simple =)

And then I thought that blue blanket would look good on my bed in the first house, so I made a quilt for that bed too =) And then I just realized both my "1:144 scale" houses are the same size... That seems about right.. until you see them.. first one is a big house with two floors and several rooms, the second one a small cabin.. how did it turn out this way???

Is it the first one, that is too small, or is it the cabin that is way too big? I think the cabin is too big, but the first house may be the wrong scale too! I just hate counting and measuring.. I will have to do a better job with that next time.. and yes, it's going to be a next time =) I'm already sketching on a new house =) I LOVE building houses. But I hope I will furnish them too, that is not as fun as building new houses =) But I like it when they are full of things to look at.. so I will work on that =)

 

And if you wonder what that headline is all about ;) I realized I shouldn't have glued that second floor to my first house just yet.. It will be very hard to add furniture in there... (At least the roof is still movable) I did manage to add a curtain, but that was very hard =) But I will keep working on that house, and hopefully I can add new stuff to it every now and then =)

And today I did paint more squares to my floor (in the 1:12 house) It will take a great deal of time to finish it, but I'm working on it (yes I'm working on a LOT of things ;) )
And I did a lot more work than usually on my carpet now when I've been sick. This really feels like a never ending project =) But when I see it like this, on picture, I can see I've done a lot already =) The boring part is still to be done.. all the off white in the background.. and the frame and some small details too =)

Take care
