Miniature Bed Sheet Sets

Asked for a Favor…

So, awhile ago I asked my mom if she would sew a few miniature sheet sets. We discussed the size, and look. I also wanted to use sand in the pillows, as it gives a more "realistic" appearance. She said,
"no problem". A few weeks after that conversation, I received a package in the mail with more wonderful hand knitted blankets and a bunch of sheet sets! I was really excited about the package, but I was working on something else, so they sat there for awhile. I knew I would get back to them when I started doing the photography for the Etsy shop.
Well, today I am wrapping up the last few things I have to do before I get the shop open. I pull out the package and started dressing the beds. OMG, they are great!  The sets are for double (queen) miniature beds. Each set has 2 pillows (filled with sand), two pillow covers, an envelope style fitted sheet and a flat sheet.
Below are a few photos. They are beautiful!
Thank you mom. :)

White Linen Miniature Bedding

Pink Shabby Chic Miniature Bedding

This set has lace on the sheet but not the pillows. I think it's better to
have the lace on one or the other.

The Finished Vintage Puppet

Vintage Puppet

I finished the puppet this morning. He has a rusted tin backing, rusted edges and hardware and yes, he moves!
I will have him for sell in the upcoming shop.

This would look great hanging on the door or window of a
vintage shop.

Fallen Maple Leaves

Ahhh…Lovely Fall

I love when Fall approaches and the tree leaves began a wonderful display of color, eventually falling to the ground. With that in mind, here's a little handmade basket with fallen maple leaves.
Have a wonderful weekend!

All In A Days Work

Lots of Signs and my favorite…A Puppet!

Completed all the signs for the shop today…sigh! Also worked on a puppet idea that I have had on my mind for some time. I love, love the puppet. Might have to make it a little smaller, but it turned out nicely. The puppet has a rusted tin background, rusted hardware and the image is distressed. I love it, so I'm posting the picture of the puppet first :)

Moveable puppet on rusted tin backing. I may have to go
a little smaller, but I love it!

Finally completed all the signs I want for the shop opening

The Downtown signs mounted on wood with a rusted edge

I wanted these to look like they were stretched canvas, they are
pretty cool.  See the backing below.

Stretched canvas look.

Remember this one from yesterday...

I thought it would be nice to add a backing. 

New Signs and a Redo for today

Fun with Signs Today

Yesterday I created a framed New York bus scroll sign with canvas paper. I thought it looked nice, but something just wasn't right. So today I recreated the sign using a different type of paper. I am really happy that I decided to make the change. It looks so much better. I also created 2 signs I remember seeing one day while I was shopping on a very cute street. The design stayed in my memory, so here they are.

A better version of the framed New York Bus Scroll Sign.
Much happier with this one.

2 rusted tin signs that will look great in a vintage kitchen
or coffee shop.

Worked on lot of inventory today

A Good Working Day

Today my family went for an outing, I stayed behind because I wanted to have a long stretch of time to work on inventory. I was able to create 7 mannequins from the mold and "lots" of signs. I created wood signs, tin signs and canvas signs with frames. I usually work on signs when things are drying, so I will have tons of signs for the opening of the shop. Here's a peek at my day.

Hope you all had a great weekend.

My work studio, super productive today

The A-Line Skirt was Rejected!

Spent most of the day attempting to make the A-Line skirt. Again, like the tutu, it just did not work out. I realized that my dress making skills are very, very slim. I will have to wait for moms next visit to learn how to make a nice "A-Line skirt for a very small mannequin" or I will give it another try tomorrow (Sigh).

The day was not lost though, while the now rejected A-line skirt was drying, I made a nice wall crate with rusted number signs on the front.
