Bed set and a new 1:144 scale house

Well Birgit was right :) I did manage to cut into the lovely fabrics, some tiny pieces, for a pillow and quilt for my cradles, I have two cradles to sell, and one of my own.. that haven't got any bed set yet..
And I just wanted to thank you all, you are ALL so nice, I love reading your comments =) Inspires me to improve and keep working on my minis =)
Thank you all!!!
So after all encouragement I tried making some bed sets. I just need to glue the bottom and legs to the green cradle, and then I'm done. (But when I say that I always find something else to fix or add...)
I've also started a make-over at a changing table.
I'm not done yet =) I will add wallpaper to the door too.

And guess what, just after I "revealed" my new fabric "addiction" I won a giveaway, from Conny, with new fabrics =) How great is that?!! Will be looking forward on getting my mail now ;)

Last time I promised pictures of my new 1:144 scale house, so here they come =)
I measured my 1:12 scale house and devided it with 12, and drew a floor plan. I decided I wouldn't make the big doors that opens in the front.
I wanted a 50's and 60's look. And looked for old wallpapers on the net (everything is so much easier when I have a printer) and just printed the wallpapers I wanted =)

And made a parquet floor, just drew and painted on the wood. And then a brown carpet and some printed floors.
The house is 5,6 cm high.

I wanted a red wooden facade, but when I started painting I realized it was more orange than red.. But I didn't have any red paint left.. so this is what I got.. I'm NOT pleased with the windows.. They are not straight and equal... But I don't want to repaint it.. I don't know if I'm even able to remove the old paint.. and do a better job next time.. so this is how it will have to be.

I havn't made the roof yet, Dont know how I want it.. Have to think about that, and while I was thinking I found an old cardboard minihouse as well, so I'm working on that too. It was unfinished, like several of my things are...It most have been lying in the drawer for at least 7 years =)
I printed some floors to that house and have started painting it, but I have no picture of it, yet...

And last but not least I wanted to show some furniture I bought on FB =) They were cheap (just like I like it) =) and I really wanted a highchair, so I'm very happy with the new things.
My daughther was with me when I opened the package and guess who snitched every single one of these furniture.. Saying: "Låna mammas"... (Borrow mums) Well I'm a sneeky mum and I snitched them back when she wasn't looking ;) She manage to get rid of some bows on the bed, I'll see if I glue them back on again, or if I paint the bed first?! I have to paint the table, because there is an ugly sticker on the top, that wont get off, but I like making furniture a little more unique, but I realize I'm no good att painting, it never ends up the way I want it =( But I have to practise and use a better brush or roller.
I'm thinking of painting the chair too. Actually I'm not that found of this dark red wood, but I end up bouying them anyway ;) Maybe beacause its common, or I might like them without knowing ;)
The tiny sofa looks just like one I have in 1:12 scale, would be nice to have them together in a scens somehow..

Now it's bedtime for me, and since I got a cold I should have been in bed awhile ago... but.. I hate going to bed! There are so many fun things that can be done beeing up, instead of sleeping.. But I have to sleep and get well now! So Good night =)
Hannah

  7. *grin* Do you know the song "The first cut is the deepest" - and of course the hardest, too... But now that you got rid of any hesitating about cutting your fabrics you received lovely results. Your furniture looks nice, offering so many possibilites - and I really like your little house.

    Greetings
    Birgit

    1. Thanks Birgit. Yes the first is the worse =) I cut some felt today to make coats, I did hesitate, but then I just cut it =) I cant keep waiting for better things to do with the fabric all the time =)

  8. I love seeing your blog post and all that you are working on. I love the wallpaper you chose for the changing table--very pretty. Your tiny house is darling. I think it would be fun to see a dog or cat lying on the mini sofa with a human lying on the big sofa at the same time! :-) I'm sorry you have a cold, Hannah. I hope you feel better very, very soon. xo Jennifer

    1. Thank you Jennifer! I've been wanting to put wallpaper on a piece of furniture for a long time, but never got to it. I thought that paper might suit the fabric in the cradle =)
      That is a great idea, with a dog or cat on the mini sofa!
      The cold just got worse, but I'm still able to sit up and play with my daughter, so I guess I'm OK and will get better and better now =)

  9. Your minimini house is perfect. I don't see any flaws just a wonderful little house!

    I wanna try one but last time I tried 144 I broke he balsa several times and cursed up a a storm!

    The cradles are fantastic!

    Oh the little one is only going to get worse over time, it is the mini curse. I actually have to hide my packages from my daughter otherwise "is that one for me" ..she means everything ;P

    I hope a quick recovery for you colds cut into mini time :)

    1. Thank you Jane =) I will try making the roof to the house today.
      You can always try making a 1:144 house in cardboard, don't break as easy as balsa =) But it can bend easy on the other hand...
      I'm always very impressed by your work so I think you will be able to make a wonderful 1:144 scale house one day =)

      Yes, I think I have to start hiding the packages from now on =)

  11. I hope you are feeling all better by now. Colds are really annoying when you are trying to make minis.
    I love the cradles and the changing table. You did a beautiful job on them. That tiny sofa is adorable!! And I love your tiny dollhouse. It's so cute.
    hugs♥,

    1. Thanks Caroline, I'm still sick, but much better, but now my daughter starts to cough =(
      Hope you feel better too, with the leg!
      I think I'm starting to like the shabby chic style more and more after I seen your blog ;) I think one could say my changing table is a bit shabby chic, but I'm not that good at keeping to one particular style, my house risk to end up in a total mess style-wise =)
