Needle felting and flee market findings

Summer is going to it's end (but here in Sweden we finally got sun and some heat, I have been missing that yellow warm thing!)
My husband got back to work, me and my daughter are back to being home alone.. with a big stomach and some serious back pains. But we have been outside enjoying the sun a bit, me on a bench, while she has been running around the playground.
I hope I will have time for some bloging and reading blogs this autumn, but I'm afraid I wont have much time for miniatures this autumn since the baby is expected in less than 2 months now! Were did the time go? But now it feels like I'm stuck in time, with pains and a big (Everyone keeps saying I have such a small stomach) bump that just wont let me move.. I'll be so happy once the baby is on the outside instead of the inside, being pregnant isn't my favourite thing to be.. But I keep trying to think how fast 9 month will go.. But right now, stuck and unable to move..

Anyhow I saw Jennifer got an Instagram account, I started to look it up again.. After a few weeks I even downloaded the app for my phone, but never opened it =) Then Jane Chérie talked about Instagram too, and now I finally manage to open the app and open an account, so now I'll try to learn and maybe post some pictures there too. I do love blogging because you can write, a lot.. =) And I tend to do that.. I'm better at writing than taking pictures, but it's fun to take pictures too, and I will try to combine these two, and I love to follow others and see all their amazing pictures. So if you have an account I should follow, let me know =) And if you want to follow me, this is my accound: Hannahsminiatyrer

I haven't felt like doing much lately, I'm just too tired for everything now, but I haven't given up on needlefelting just look at the bunch of cats and giraffes appearing the last months..
I do dream of attending another fair, maybe next year?! I try to do a few minis to add to a "selling box", and hopefully I'll have enough things to attend a fair next autumn =) I hope to bring my daughter too, she is a great helper and I think she would like to see all those miniatures =)

Yesterday we went to a big flee market, I was looking for dolls and dollhouse furniture. No more dollhouses =) But.. The first thing I saw, was a nice Lundby Dallas house. Original wallpaper, just like I want it! And nice condition. It lacks a few plastic things for the windows, a door to the garage down stairs, two parts for the fence, and a half door to the stable at the side and the front downstairs. The chimney is loose, I have to glue it back on the roof later.
Here you can see the house in the catalogue of Lundby 1975: http://dollhouse.mine.nu/download/ws/lundby-/lundby%201975_VS.pdf

 With the "front" attached

Without front wall

Also found a box of furniture. I'll see if I'll keep everything or sell a few of them (I already have the stove, since I was a kid, really like that one, but now I have two of them =) )

I also found this cute littlest pet shop Blythe. I have been looking for them =) I was so happy to find her, and she was very cheap too =)
A great day at the flee market! Sunny and great findings =)

Take care
Hannah

  1. Hi Hannah! So good to hear from you...you are relly sounding like me when I was waiting for the babies..I had such a large stomach at that time, couldn't tie my shoelases! I hope you'll have everything fine until the birth of the baby!

    I love your kittens and ciraffes(I am so happy to have one of them :D )
    And you had wonderful purchases from the fleamarket! The house looks gorgeous!
    Hugs

    1. Thanks Kikka! The worse part right now is my back, that wont bend, but I have a little helper picking things up from the floor for me =)
      I have been adding a few furniture to the house, all the Lundby furniture I had here in drawers =) I most go to my mums and take out the rest too =) It's fun with new houses.

  4. Las jirafas son muy bonitas. Seguro que tienes el tiempo suficiente para poder hacer muchas cosas para la feria. Espero que te vaya muy bien el final del embarazo.

  6. Only two months left until your baby comes - I totally agree with you, where did time go, I can hardly believe that August is almost over again. But it looks as though you're enjoying flying time to the fullest - enjoying the sunshine, working on your wonderful felties and going to the fleamarket to make some great discoveries. This house is a fantastic find and everything else, too. Enjoy your new treasures... and best wishes for the rest of your pregnacy, tell your back time flies and soon this will be over - I don't expect this to work, but why not give it a try? ;O)

    Hugs

    1. Thanks Birgit! The back got better, it was some kind of crick. Everything feels better once the pain got away, now I can clean the house and make miniatures and do what ever I like, (But I'm so tired, mostly I just sit down thinking of all the fun things to do.. not doing them, but, dreaming is good too) but I'm a bit careful, don't want that pain to come back!
