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
Hannah

  4. Poor Hannah; you had some kind of flu! I am happy to hear you are recovered and back to work on your mini-houses . Both houses look great and you made fine progress on your rug. ( I admire your patience!!!). Yeah...planning ahead when working on a dollshouse is a thing I don't always like...it can take the spontanity away and make the job more rational and tedious. But if you don't you may be sorry afterwards.......I have experienced both situations serveral times :-).

    1. Thank you, you are right, I like being spontaneous in my miniwork (not so much in real life =) ) But I will try to do better groundwork, it really shows in the end.

  9. I'm sorry you were sick. That's never any fun. Don't do too much. You wouldn't want to get sick again. The little houses are both sweet. Maybe your cabin has more of an open concept! They're cute!
    hugs♥,

    1. Tack! Det var en långdragen förkylning, men jag får roa mig med lite miniatyrbygge nu när jag är på bättringsvägen =)

  11. it's ok Hanna, I do stuff like that all the time because I hate to measure too, I find that if I use a doll that is in the correct scale I dont have to measure stuff (which I hate to do)

    your houses look wonderful

    1. Thank you! I use a doll to measure in bigger scale sometimes, but I don't have any dolls in 1:144 scale, maybe I should look for one =)
