So Much Fun...

I've been working on a few things this week as I continue the Trailer project. Sometimes I get seriously distracted by the ideas dancing in my head and I just have to tackle one or two.

This week it was Suitcases, Art Deco Bust, French Flea Market Suitcases and Clogs!

As I'm working on the Trailer, I'm also thinking of accessories I would love to include in the project. The Art Deco bust is something I've been wanting to do forever. It looked pretty easy to do, but once I started working on it, I realized how difficult it is going to be. I have my fingers x'd on that one.

The French Flea Market Style suitcases. I envisioned them next to the iron bed, kinda using them as a side table. I played around with a few ideas (see below). Not sure if this set will go in the trailer, but I'm liking the way they turned out, so I will make more in the theme of the trailer.

Okay, the clogs, these are the cutest EVER! I own several swedish hasbeens clogs. When I saw this picture, I went ABSOLUTELY CRAZY, I must have a pair in the trailer!! The Etsy store is Minis2you, she doesn't have any available right now but it looks like you can ask for a custom. Of course, I just have to give it a try, not sure if they will turn out this fantastic, but I will do my best and I'm sure they are super fun to create.

Lastly, the Trailer. I used plaster on the walls and it did not turn out too well. There was crackling and peeling where I covered the windows. Probably should not have used scotch tape in those areas. I was able to get the plaster pretty smooth, but when I painted, it crackled (not the look I'm going for). So I came up with an idea that worked out perfectly…
First I sanded the walls to get them smooth, painted them in white and let dry. I cut a piece of muslin fabric, gave it a glue bath and let it dry, it was pretty stiff when dried. With a brush, I put a nice amount of glue on the wall, then covered with the muslin, making sure every area was glued and there were no bubbles. Let dry, then paint.
The walls now look very nice with a slight texture. I'm thinking I may use this technique on the exterior of the trailer instead of the corrugated paper, it looks great when painted.

Here's a few photos, have a wonderful weekend and I will catch up with you next week.

Little Darlings...

Wrapping up the week with a few more topiaries. I completed the pails and added a few colorful aged terra cotta pots. The colorful topiaries measure 1 1/2-1 3/4 inch total. They are so cute. I have them in heart and round shapes, with and without bows. (will upload to Etsy this weekend)

I also have been playing around with a few frames I found. I have cute idea for them…stay tuned! Taking a little break next week to work on a home project.

Have a great weekend:).

Beautiful Mini Topiary Pots...

Managed to photo and uploaded all the dollhouse miniature topiary pots into my Etsy shop. The pots are painted with Annie Sloan Old White and Duck Egg, then aged to look like they have been sitting in the yard. Some even have (faux) moss. These little cuties will add instant charm to any room in your mini home.

Potted Topiary's...

Today I finished a few of the potted topiary's I've been working on. I've had this idea in my head for a while and was determined to get them added to the shop. They turned out exactly the way I envisioned. I am very happy.

I created different styles; single and double topiary, heart shape topiary (still drying). I have a bunch more that I am working on with different color bows, different size and shape pots and possible baskets. I'm also playing around with different color pots, even though I love the aged "old white" look.

These will look lovely at your front door, or inside your mini home. The pots measure 1/2 and are aged to give a shabby feel. Some even have (fake) moss growing on the pots ;)!

Will try to get them listed in my Etsy Shop this weekend.

Busy Bee...

So much going on now that I am back. Here's a new addition, "fabric throws". These are the great, made with 100% cotton, soak them in a glue bath for realistic creases, or leave them as they are. Will be adding lots more in different fabrics. 

I also have wonderful new 1 1/2 inch pillows in fresh new fabrics (will be uploading next week). Super excited about the new items.
