Finally some minis:)

Thought I'd show you a few minis I've been working on for myself. Eventually they'll go in The Painted Lady. This was one of the cake shop cake toppers... I was blue with red trim. I started with a few coats of Gesso and then spent the next week painting. Every time I'd think I was done... I'd find one more spot to fix.. and now that I see it online, I see even more spots to fix, ack!!

But I sure do love this color combo!!

I even took some scrapbook paper- one of my favorite designs:) and used it for the floor. Not to sure what will go in it yet..... But it sure is cute!

This I made yesterday. It was the bottom to one of the Michael's $1.00 hutches. I FINALLY got it to break apart in the microwave- I've tried this before, and I guess I didn't cook it long enough. I will say though while trying to pry this apart- I did break quite a bit of it....

I really like how it turned out. It was a darker blue, but I didn't like that... so I added white, and painted another coat.... Then went back and sanded it down to let the darker blue shine though...

...and I didn't crackle it..... I thought about it.... but decided against it because all the other pieces I have are crackled and I wanted something different.

And while I was digging for paper, I found this. Who knows why I put it in my paper bin?!

It's a drawer, painted and aged and then lined with my fav paper again. I'm thinking it will hang on the way, and I just gotta find something to frame in it....

I have lots of unfinished projects around here, lol..... But for now....

I've got a blog trade to work on.... Oh how I wish I could share the details with you..... one day:)



Until Next Time....

That mini dollhouse is a cake topper? What a find! I am not a pink person anymore. For a stint like maybe 1 year? I was really into pink and the grey pink combo was my fav.

You did a fine job on that hutch and the drawer. I think not crackling it is a good idea :).

That house is fantastic. I love the paper in it and the colour is lovely. Great job on the hutch. The blue is so pretty. :) Greetings Maria

I love that flowery paper flooring in the pink house - just perfect. And you're right, the hutch doesn't need crackle. It looks great just as it is.

Love the little house! And your hutch is gorgeous. I never thought about microwaving things apart. The blues are just super chic! The drawer finish is also excellent.
hugs,

Katie--I love that same scrapbook paper. I bought some to wallpaper my 70s dollhouse master bedroom. I love the light blue color of your shabby hutch too--so pretty! Your tiny dollhouse is adorable. I have a soft spot for the dollhouse within a dollhouse idea! Have a great weekend!

Very sweet the little house...I have been a little tired and I didn´t comment your blog as much as I would like. But I see everything and I am sending a big hug and lots of kisses.
