What happened? I try; but something seems to hold up the posting...actually it is just me. I seem to be dragging my feet. I do know I have slowed down. Not in a rush...rather feeling lazy some days. There was a time that by 9am everything was accomplished...now I would rather linger in bed..... luckily I can. I have nothing that requires immediate attention from me. Love it.
When I say thinking small....it is as in miniature. a
Recently while browsing YouTube, I was fascinated with a gal who actually made a Doll house and furniture in 1:12 scale. She is unbelievable....her furniture is perfect as are the accessories. She micro crochets bed blankets and pillows! So, I tried the granny squares.
This will be a bed runner for the doll house "room" I have built. Instead of a whole house, you can build a room. It is also referred to as a room box. They can be bought but I decided to make my own with foam core. No, I am not making the furniture, it is simpler to buy. Have a look....
The night stand has 3 draws that open. I made a tissue box and book for the top. The clock is a button! I made the tatted mirror and the bedding.
There is a sheet, duvet and of course pillows
A crocheted pillow and cushion for the chair and of course a craft basket. I made folded fabric, skeins of yarn and knitting needles, and it sits atop a table. The floor is wood that I bought and trimmed to fit.
I added windows that really open and lace curtains.
I found the already made pumpkin at Dollar Tree but made the broom. Plans are to make window boxes for the outside and will have flowers to see from inside the room. I will add a few books and maybe a vase for the dresser. I think a teddy bear for the bed. Everything is to scale of 1 : 12. It has been fun. I forgot how much I like crocheting.....
Lisa is doing well and has returned to work but only part-time. The Cardiac Therapy continues 3 times a week. Nice to visit today. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your friendship.
