The Doll House

DSC_0448

So I recently came across a new blogging block...I ran out of room to upload photos.  Well, I finally came up with a solution and I'm up and running again.

Moose received this awesome handmade dollhouse for her 2nd birthday back in August, but grandpa and grandma finally got them to the west coast a few weeks ago.  Boy did I forget how big they are!  They take up most of the space in her room.  She can barely see the top floor!

I've been slowly trying to make some furniture for this doll house.  I did some looking online and found a surprising lack of Barbie size furniture tutorials.  So I just kind of winged it.  I made a blue sink out of a chunk of wood.  I carved out a very shallow sink.  I also make a stove and that I used a bit more creativity.  I found the smallest hinge at the craft store I could find and made it so it could open.  Then I glued magnet sheet that I had onto both sides and then colored a turkey and a pie and glued those onto more magnet sheet.  So "Cinderbrella" as she is called in our house can do some baking.  I have plans for a purple fridge, but I will not get to working on that until after Christmas.

I also made two beds out of some leftover foam from the flower box I made in the beginning of the year.  I just wrapped the foam in fabric and hot glued it down.  I made the mini quilts and pillows reversible, but Moose likes them like this.  The beds are a tad short for the 12 inch dolls, but for the smaller ones they are perfect, so I'll have to get some more foam and make a few more larger beds.  I also made a couch out of the leftover foam, but it looks really sad so I didn't take any close up photos of it.   I'll have to make a more realistic one sometime in the future.

    I had no clue your blog could run out of photo storage. I wonder if I'm getting close. I will need to research those limits.

Valentine's Day Wreath

Now that the Christmas decorations are down, it is time to make some Valentine's Day decorations to put up! I have seen some in the store, but it is much more fun to make your own.  So here is how I made my sweet heart wreath. First you need a hoop (the one I used had about a 7 in diameter), 7 big wooden hearts, 8 small wooden hearts, paint, glitter, ribbon, and some hot glue. I took all my hearts and painted them a solid color and then went back over them and made some patterns or outlined them. I thought they were looking a little boring so I went back and put some glitter on random ones. Then I went around and hot glued the big ones and tried to make them as evenly spaced as possible. Then I hot glued the smaller ones on top of the bigger hearts, tied some ribbon, and then hung on my door!

Fish Finger Glove Puppet

I just love being back east and being with all of my family for Christmas, but I don't like the travel and I really don't like the germs.  We managed to bring back with us some lovely east coast germs.  Little Moose took it the hardest and still is a little bit sick.  Anyways, I finally got the chance to get back onto my computer and I just have to share with you what my sister-in-law made for us.  There are a bunch so I'll share one every day this week! I love the bright colors of the fishes!  Each glove puppet came with a poem.  They are just to cute!

Scrapbooking, Adore

    Every once in a while, I make a layout that I absolutely love and this is one of them.  I think it might be the rainbowness of it all that I love.  This is really a random photo of my daughter that I took while we were waiting for the bus.  I played with the photo on my phone and made it more rainbowy.  I really like how it came out, so I printed it out for my project life, but then I decided it needed its own page.  It really is a random page for a random photo.     This is my page for the Memory Nest . The circles on the sketch were my major inspiration.  I felt that they would make a fun background.  At first, I changed the circles to triangles and then I noticed all these old frames on my desk.  I'm a chipboard frame hoarder. lol.  I thought most of the frames were really ugly or they had patterns that I would never use.  At first, I was going to just paint the frames white, but then I decided to make them gray.  I'm glad I made them gray because now they
