Today's last DIY's

Here's some stuff, don't really should I show them here in order to embarass myself and make you all laugh your guts out...

duvet and duvet cover

a footstool, picture, fruitbowl and duster (it's a bit big)

"Union Jack"

picture and wash bin

The bin and picture turned out really bad, so they are going away. Good thing is that one of my friends niece has a dollhouse and I can give all the not-so-good-stuff there for her to play with :) And it seems that she's going to get lots of things :D

DIY for Rosey Beach Cottage

Now at least my Primrose has a name - Rosey Beach Cottage. It's situated on the beach area, but the lady living there loves roses, so there you go. I had to come up with an excuse for my crappy DIY so the lady there loves to shop in fleamarkets and paint & repair the stuff herself although she's not that good with it :D

pinwheels (they actully work)

pillow cases

Today's DIY

Here's some stuff that I made today for the beach house

filled the painted pots

flags

some pillows

table to go with the chair

a jug, birdhouse and crowns

a stand for ice cream cones

I'm also doing some pinwheels, but can't find the wirecutters - I loose everything all the time...

Some DIY

Here's some DIY what I've done for the beach house:
(The pics are again a bit poor due the lighting, sorry for that)

Baking trays, soaps, dish cloths

Painted some flower pots and did some nichos

Covered a bench, a basket (it was bought one, painted it and did the lining) and a crown done by Michelle's instructions.

A rustic metal chair

Gifts

I got some gifts today - small stones for my dark house from Elina and tiny potholders from Hanne.

My sister-in-law brought from NY a statue of liberty - it's a bit big (app.10 cm), but it will go to my French villa, I just have to saw the New York text away.

Ok, now I'm officially loosing it. Totally.

I went today to pick up my son from hockey practise and I thought that I'll go and buy some black acrylic paint and white Fimo. Yes, I got the Fimo with many other colours too. And some flower crafts things. And no, didn't get the paint as I went totally nuts as I saw some Tilda stuff in the store. I've been admiring Liberty Biberty's pastel shabby-chic-country houses and I lost it. Here's what I bought for my VERY NON-EXCISTING beach house:

From the Paper Stack I'll select the wallpapers and with the fabric I'll do something. Now I just have the tiny itsy bitsy problem - there's no beach house and I really can't buy it, so some construction work is waiting for me... And I really don't have the slightest clue where I'm going to put all these houses... Somebody should kick me hard.

Well, I got something for my cake shoppe, which is really should arrive this week.

And some green ribbons for something

They would look really nice with some smokey blue and egg blue as well as coral. But I really can't go there, no, don't even think about it.

So, now some googling for some ideas for the beach house plan.

I'm nuts.

Witchy bottles

This is all I have got done today, glueing the labels to the bottles and filling them.

Finding stuff for filling was fun, the blood of the undead is chili sauce and the potion booster is jalapeno tabasco :) The wonderful labels are from Deadspiders Etsy shop.

Here's some stuff that I have to my houses already:

For the dark house (where the potion bottles are going)

For the French villa

And lots of more coming by mail (I've ordered so much stuff that I don't even remember what so it's like Christmas when opening the packages :) ). I do have still problems in finding beds for the houses - everything I like costs too much and all affordable ones aren't what I'm looking for. Thought it probanbly would be quite good idea to get the houses first :D That's my other problem, I probably have to build the French villa myself, as I haven't found any houses that would be ideal for it. And to save some cost the dark house is also going to be diy-thing. I think that it will be wise to start with it, as it doesn't matter so much if the walls are croocked etc. :D

And please, could the snowing stop, we're going to have some snow still in June as it's going to take so long for all this to melt.

Wallpaper

I've been googling a lot in order to find some wallpaper to my shoppe and it's been really difficult to decide the color scheme but now I finally made some decisions. So, here are the wallpapers, all ordered from a fabulous place called Itsy bitsy mini

The red check is going to the shop area with white panelling, the blue to the first floor (kitchen) with either white washed or red panelling and the red toile to the attic (bedroom). I also orderd some red toile in fabric also.

I also ordered these wallpapers for my French house

Aren't  they just fab?

Oysters

Today almost all I got done were these oysters (and 20 of their friends) and some parsley:

There is still lemon vedges missing, but I think that I need to practice a lot before even trying to do something so difficult. The oysters aren't as nice as I wanted - I realized that my gray Fimo was too light.

I also started 3 bread boxes, now I just have to figure out how I'll do the lids. I also have to try to find some nice black and white labels to glue on them, as I think that my handwriting would ruin them :)

Some stuff for the dollhouse(s)

... which I don't have yet :D

                                                   palmtree

This begonia pot is the one that I was agonizing with for an hour and when you look at it, it really isn't worth of it :D
