First let's start with the 1930's glamor townhouse. The other day, I pulled out some scrap wood and my husband's rarely used power tools and created a wood version of the attic rooms for the town house.
My measuring technique is more of an eyeball thing. So the angles are a bit off and there are a few gaps but nothing a little wood fill, sandpaper and wallpaper can't cover.
I also started testing a shingle look for the exterior of the house. I wanted it to have a Georgian Brick exterior. This is sandpaper cut and glued to paper. I not happy with it yet. I'm going to try and paint it but if that doesn't work, the exterior will be stucco...
And lastly I'll show you a school room my son created in an old toddler dollhouse.
I particularly like the little cupcakes he made for the students snacks...
Elswhere in blogland there are some great giveaways...

"but nothing a little wood fill, sandpaper and wallpaper can't cover" There speaks a woman after my own heart! It looks great and your felted cat is very cute. I would like to try that too... one day :~)
ReplyDeleteYour son's cupcake is very effective!
Hello Heather, thanks for being spent on my blog to leave your vote, I'm happy if you attend the upcoming international swap!
ReplyDeleteI went to see the progress of your house 30 years ... I'm amazed by a lot of work done, it will certainly be a nice attic!
poor cat with no eyes but you will find the patience and finish it, I suffer to see him so .. one-eyed man! ha ha!
kisses and see you soon!

I love your son's creativity! To spot the cupcake in a wood plug! Very well done! And his painting is excellent! I like that the classroom has a birdcage too! It contributes a serene and refined atmosphere in which to study!
ReplyDeleteYour son did a great job! I love your thinking about the attic not matching the rest of the house. For bricks I use concrete that is premixed(it's in the paint section of the hardware store). I slap it on and then with an old exacto knife I put the lines in while it is still wet. Then I paint it. Well I'm sure you'll find a way to do it so it looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love your little cat. I was just looking up how felting is done last month. But I read all these comments about how easy it is to poke yourself in the fingers with that needle. So I thought I should stay away from that since I'm prone to disastrous, bloody accidents with sharp objects.
Hugs your way!

Heather- you have been busy! I love your little cat- I just use beads as eyes when I make mine- sew them right into the head and knot off on the bottom of the neck. He's really cute! I love your son's classroom and cupcake too- what a great miniaturist he is! I kind of like how your bricks look- maybe if you try to paint them mix some sand in your paint so you don't lose the texture? Have a lovely day!!
ReplyDelete:) :) Empiezo con sonrisas porque tus medidas a ojo no han salido bien. A veces los arquitectos tienen que acoplarse a las circunstancias. A lo mejor este error es el que le da encanto especial a esta casa. Me gusta mucho este ático. Seguiré viniendo a ver los adelantos.
