during "wetten dass"






the coffee table the seller sent me today with the other items is too large for the chairs and sofas I have allready, but okay for a dining-table or desk. My coffee-table is a cream-jar.
I think the reac-chairs work well in both scenes in 1:12 and lundby.

I like the grey and brown colours in this scene. the postcard shows the "speicherstadt" in hamburg.

it's the same nearly every saturday.....

... I am full of intention to clean my flat and do the housework untill --- the postman arrives with packets for me. so here a very quick view to my new 60s-style-treasures. I saw such armchairs in anninas fotostream and never hoped to find similar on ebay, but I did. I'm so happy, allthough everything is very dirty. So I have to clean big and small furniture....


padding-room?


I feel a bit uncreative the last days. I have a few new items - but don't know what to do with it. This is my desperate try to use all my new finds: the doll without legs and head (Euroshop), the placemat with the grey-pattern (nearly like saltandpepper, I would like to cover armchairs with it), the big shelve (comes with the "steeltube"-gardenfurniture).
I am not good in sewing and don't even have a mini-sewing machine, but I made a kind of sewing room. I am better in padding and so this could be a padding-room? however....

miniatuurkermis










seen and fotographed today in my town.

the rest



I've sold most of my furniture I didn't need or I made swaps. Here are some pieces I keep and I'm very happy with, like this lamp or clock. I can use them in very modern scenes too.

renovation




I decided spontaneously to paint the walls in the lundby-house again, because they was so dark-stained from the glue I used before I found the blue-tack. I used the same colour, mixed with white sand for bird-cages.



I splitted one of the cupboards and used both parts in this little scene. what a great find. I will strip the paint from the other one to have an ikea-look and the third one may stay as it is.

All Souls Day



In the tradition I grew up this day is a holyday, we think of the people, who are dead. We make up her graves with flowers and especially with lights. My whole life I liked cemeteries. I visited my grandmother's grave and had so nice konversations with her. I don't believe in death!
This morning in the dawn - I am an early bird - I tried to make a cemetery-scene in my flower-pot on my balcony.

new fabric with transfer paper


Before Pubdoll sent me some wonderful fabrics with small patterns I allways searched for fabrics with modern and small patterns, this was hard.
A workmate has a bag in a fabric I like and I ask her to take a fotograph of this bag. Then I resized it, put pretty much of this beside in a word dokument and printed it on a transfer-paper, afterwards I took my iron and ironed it onto a light fabric. I'm quite happy with the result about the colours, but it is so very inflexible and has no cosy outlook. But I think on the foto it is okay.
By the way, I'm searching for two bedstands for this bed and wasn't successful yet. I have two cream-jars, they work, sometimes I take a chair, but the most bedstands are too big and I didn't found any lundby-sized I like. If anyone has an idea or a link to a good find - you're welcome :-)

I stole the idea with the painting from a person I met on the fair I visited in spring. Today I tried it and it is true: the paintings look more real printed/ironed on cloth.

There's a light












for ARU this time. Thank you Aru, for beeing my new follower. The time for the real blossoms is nearly over, the time for candles just begins. There is a dark corner in my dollshouse and I had no lamp for this part of my flat, so I used candles for the first time to enlighten it, and I think I will do it some more times.
Hope you enjoy beeing here!
