New Pictures of Bella-Mouse

I promised some pictures of Bella-Mouse in her dress, here they are.  I will just mention that she has little pink panties,but for her privacy, I will not show them.  

Here are some pictures of Grandmother with her new unnamed grand daughter.  I know there are a lot of pictures, but she just looks so happy.

Some day soon Grandmother will have her own house.

I have made a change to Honeysuckle Cottage.  The original plan was to have one large room on the top floor, and a kitchen and a living room down stairs.  Well it turns out that it really bothers my seven-year old that there is no bathroom.  I figure that if it bothers her it will bother most children...I plan on using the cottage as a setting for children's stories, so I must not upset the children.  I have added a wall to the upstairs and now have a bathroom.  I forgot to take a picture, but I got this shot while  photographing Grandmother with her new grand daughter.

The bathroom is now on the Left

I have decided to paint the wallpaper in the girl's bed room.  I have also been experimenting with  paintings.  Everything I do is a bit cartoonish, I am not an artist.  But again, this house is meant to be used as illustrations for children's books

Practice Flowers,  I'm not crazy about the color.

Portrait of Posy is 1/2 of an inch.

The wall paper in the background is From Itsy Bitsy Mini http://dollhouse-miniature-wallpaper.com/shop/ .  It will be in the living room, I love it

I have been trying to make different types of one inch scale roses for Grandmother's summer beach house.  I am using cold porcelain. 

I am also trying for irises.  I will carefully place some yellow flocking  for their beards.

I made a new pair of Robbin parents for my nest...very hard to photograph and probably not  to scale

Have a Wonderful Week,

Lucy

A Sure Sign of spring

A pair of robins are nesting in a bush right out side of my window.  I felt  a need to reproduce a nest for my miniature rose bush.  Unfortunately I burned the parents that I made to care for this little nest and will have to make a new pair this weekend.

Getting Back on Track

Iwanted to thank Sumaiya Mehreen of The Mini Food Blog for putting my pictures in her postings for Easter and giving me the impetus to get started--an Easter deadline.
 Now I must get back on track. Today I worked on my climbing rose.  I decided to add buds and I am glad that I did, I like them.  I am using cold porcelain and food coloring.  I also Started Posy's bed.  I am using a Cassidy Creations kit--Single Rope Bed 5001.  You can get these kits at Scale Designs http://half-scale-miniatures.com.  They are well worth the effort.  I find that they go together easily and are delicate but sturdy.

One last Easter picture...the actual cake with models.

New rose buds.

Getting the first leaves on is difficult for me...I am in awe of all the flower makers out there.

New buds.  I clip the tails off with a nail clipper when they dry

Today's Work

I am trying my hand at painting.

Thanks for looking,
Lucy
