Baby Room

This is a new theme we (Artofmini.com) have presented this Spring.
The wardrobe, dresser, cot, children's' bench, shelves and step stool are all new laser cut kits.
It was so much fun to make this room. 

 See the butterfly on the lamp?

 

The Inhabitants of the Old Bear House

After a hard day work (helping Papa Bear), it is so nice to get into a warm bath! A drop of water is on the little bears nose and on the back of his head. The same as with the chicken on the other photo: I alsways wondered why not do something else with a teddy bear: why not putting him into a bath????? 

Tiny wet paws are on the floor. Dripping onto the carpet, rubbing the fur on his back dry......oh, never mind...the fire is nice and warm and this will dry in a minute!

Into the corner is little Brenda playing with her coocker and tiny dollhouse. Have you seen the little turtle? He is bringing back the books that have been read. 

Oh, Oh, what have we done.....quick, hide, if I cannot see mama, than she cannot see me.......or does she???? 

 
Are we both hidden for mama? What do you think? 

From the bear kit Buster, I changed it into a girl. Eating her banana, she is helping her mother with bringing all the food to the dining table on the patio. Gosh, what will they all enjoy eating here, later on this evening! 

 

It was real lovely to make this project and when the lamps are shining and the fire is burning, Oh boy, I have to admit I'm a bit proud of it. It has turned up to be a real cosy house and I just keep looking  at it :).

My little dollies

I did found it hard to paint my little dollies in the right colours with the right shading, but I think I did it!
The dollies do have the look I just love: mmmm...what IS the correct word in English???
Is it cosy or shabby or distressed??? I don't know.
The one thing I do know, is that they are looking adorable.
If these dollies were in a window of a toystore I probably would stay sticking with my nose to that window and dream away....

Stacking, stacking, stacking......

I like not only stacking in real life, but also in my miniature life. Often I see beautiful miniatures placed solitair. That's fine, only I like them stacked or hidden, so everytime it's a pleasure to see something that one first didn't see. I developed these stacking and decoration blocks, so now they can be placed behind another item and still can be seen. Just a lovely item to add anywhere you like.

Beautiful kits of Fragrance sachets

It is so much fun to decorate with all kinds of little items. One cannot have enough! I have developed 17 different kinds of kits of frangrance sachets. All with beautifull different images! The little sachets are not only fun to make, but also fun to decorate with! I use them in little baskets, in my closets or on a table or anywhere I want. Just perfect!
