This and that..:)

saying Hello to everybody! :) 

gruesse euch alle!

another Baby...noch ein Baby :) 

 Several young ladies from here, had asked me about dollhouses- affordable ones !!! - for them to use as exhibit piece for their jewelry etc when going to basars...i tried a first one with a "make-over" of a shoebox..hope someone will like it! :)
Einige junge Maedchen von hier, die Schmuck machen,  haben schon oefters noch "erschwinglichen" Puppenhaeusern gefragt. Sie moechten sowas als Ausstellungsstueck/Deco bei Basaren benutzen. Also hab ich mal einen Schuhkarton "ueberarbeitet"...und hoffe nun, dass es auch einer von ihnen gefaellt! 

I will attend a basar myself..so made some more books! :) and a sofa! 

Ich werde selber auch bei einem Basar mitmachen..also hab ich Buecher gemacht! Und ein Sofa! :) 

i got these very cheap ...a set of several tiny tables and chairs...just to calm  Praline down, as she so much wants me to get on with her Cafe!!!!
They are all 1:24...
Diese Moebelchen konnte ich ganz billig bekommen...ein Set mit mehreren kleinen Tischen und Stuehlen. Das musste sein, um Praline etwas zu beruhigen! Sie moechte so gern, dass ich endlich das Cafe anfange!!! :) Die Teile sind alle 1:24..

Praline hasn't appeared here for quite some time...here she is, sending many greetings to all ! 

Praline war schon laenger hier nicht zu sehen..aber hier ist sie 

und sie schickt allen viele Gruesse!

Catching up :)

time flies...:)
what have we been up to? well...making various things here and there while thinking about bigger projects, (Praline's house make-over...:) perhaps adding rooms to Santa's house in the clouds :)  , studying on how to improve making minis, admiring your blogs and always ever so beautiful work, preparing  ( and again studying :) ...on a few future orders, like an elderly Greek Lady who would like me to make a traditional old room from houses of the aegean islands, then a small shelf unit as dollhouse library, and a roombox for a young Greek lady who lives in France..but is homesick for Greece...all to be done in the coming months, with no specific descriptions for the orders  except that they should be "nice" ! :)
As my miniature is on display in our printing business, a few pieces do sell from time to time, which i am very happy about of course! Dollhouses, or better DIY dollhouse items are not very known here, but it is nice to see people stop by and look, especially the kids!
Here is a mixture of recent work :
Two baby-corner rooms with tiny little baby dolls, which are made by a friend- i just dressed them!

A friend who makes mini-fimo-jewlery fell in love with a tiny blue box she saw on the web and asked me to make a similar for her! :) The difficult part was to find the right colour of paper in my drawers..but i think i did! :) Unfortunately i can't finf the link to the original picture ...if anybody knows, please inform me! :) 

this is the original from the web! If anybody knows who made it....let me know!! :) ....see UPDATE under the next pic!!!

Update on the origin of this cute little box!!!  sweet and wonderful Jennifer from http://www.plushpussycat.com/ knew !!! It is  by Catherine Parsons of Sweet Petite Shoppe on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetPetiteShoppe 
Have a look there...lovely minis! lovely colours! 
Thanks very very much Jennifer! 

This is mine

The folded little mice continue to sell regularly one by one....so i am constantly making new ones , and also made some more tiny ones :) They are so cute always! :) 

:) 

Mini books: i tried rings with mini books, some with "The little prince" have found new owners already :) 

It is a nice idea i saw from others.

and a title...i couldn't resist to : ( as not everybody loves cooking!!! :) 

dollhouse furniture : i made a shelf unit in 1 :12 ..yes, sweets and cakes..what else???? :) 

deco items : two more little houses, just cute to look at :) These decorative items also sell from time to time, as they are less expensive than a mini-scene or box! :) ( difficult times here in Greece...) 

Last..but in no way least...we got some beautiful presents from my friend Inge from Frankfurt! 

a tupper-mini breadbox...which is perfect for Praline's kitchen ( although i might paint it! ) 

ice-cream and a beautiful cake, and a tiny bear and a Harlekin..ever so cute and lovely! Lisi had to wake up Caramel and Praline to show them ! :) 

................

Thank you all for coming by, for leaving comments ( ..sorry , i haven't been good with that lately on your blogs...) , for just "being there" ! It means much to me! Take care !

Happy times in my dollhouse kitchen! :)

Today , Lisi - the new little doll my friend made- wanted to visit our kitchen. So...Praline got everything out...and filled the kitchen ! :) One thing is clearly to be seen...we need more space! :)
From time to time i found some cute little plastic-dolls and figures..they came for a visit,too!
There are more items to put in...but they wouldn't fit in now!
But ONE FREIND..and a very sweet one, we all adore :) DID FIT IN! Can you find out who???? :) I only say one hint : Strawberries" ...:) :)
Because i made some "real-life-size" shopping list paper-holders - see above- ( trying again for some recycling solution for leftovers from our printing office :) , Praline got a small one too!

Praline's :)

Just some pictures from today...it's been some time i posted pictures from my dollhouse. But i was ( and am) busy with making things for selling ...which is good too of course! But i also want to re-arrange and rebuild quite many things from my dollhouse...well...one thing after the other! :)
Anyway...you can see, Lisi won't be hungry with us! :)
Tomorrow i will list and explain all little wonderful gifts that are here in my kitchen from so many of you! :)

Heute wollte Lisi- mein neues Pueppchen, das meine Freundin mir gemacht hat , unsere Kueche besuchen! also hat Praline alles - aber auch alles- rausgekramt! :) eins ist sicher..wir brauchen mehr Platz! :) 
Ab unbd zu habe ich mal verschiedene Plastikpueppchen gefunden, die durften heute auch mal kommen! 
Es gibt noch mehr an Kuechensachen, aber die passten nun wirklich nicht mehr rein!
Aber EIN FREUND...ein ganz suesser, den wir allen total lieben,  PASSTE REIN! Koennt ihr sehen, WER???? :) Ich geb nur eine kleine Hilfe : "Erdbeeren"!!! :) 
Weil ich in letzter Zeit wieder einige "Einkaufslistenhalter" - siehe oben - fuer das "wirkliche " Leben gemacht habe, bekam Praline auch einen in klein! 
Hier nun einige Bilder von heute...es ist wieder einige Zeit her, das ich was gezeigt habe :) . Aber ich habe einiges zu tun mit Sachen machen zum Verkauf, was ja auch gut ist..aber im Puppenhaus moechte ich auch so einiges machen...aber..eins nach dem anderen! :) 
Auf jeden Fall ...koennt ihr sehen, Lisi geht bei uns garantiert nicht hungrig ins Bett! :) 
Morgen werde ich eine Liste hier machen von all den kleinen schoenen Geschenken die hier in der Kueche sind, von so vielen von euch! 

Mini Jazzi updates..she is on the road again!

Mini Jazzi had a wonderful time at :

and she has been sent off agin to the next hostess..but we don't know yet who it will be! :) You know, she has her own tiny passport, her bag, her suitcases....it is so much fun to think about all that! :)
She was here before :
http://msminisandmore.blogspot.com.au
http://creativemeandlife.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/mj-busy-on-this-rainy-day.html

It is very much worthwhile to take some time tovisit the blogs  and read and see about Mini Jazzi's travels around the world. Whereever she goes, she becomes part of the family and the visiting days are full of fun, sightseeing and adventures! If one thinks about the fact that she has been to many families and homes by now...we are all part of a beautiful story
Here she is, talkng with friends! :) The picture is from http://bigandlittlecreations.blogspot.com.au/ :)

So ,it  is waiting for news again! :)  

Jetzt muessen wir wieder auf Neuigkeiten warten! :) 

Mini Jazzi ist wieder unterwegs zur naechsten Station der Weltreise! Wir wisen noch nicht, wo und bei wem sie auftauchen wird...spannend! :) Sie hat ihren eigenen winzigen Pass, ihr Handtaeschchen, ihre Koefferchen...:) 

Zuletzt war sie bei : http://bigandlittlecreations.blogspot.com.au/
wo es einiges zu sehen gibt! 
Die Besuche davor waren bei :http://msminisandmore.blogspot.com.au  und 
http://creativemeandlife.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/mj-busy-on-this-rainy-day.html .

Es lohnt sich, sich etwas Zeit zu nehmen und die Blogs zu besuchen. So viel zu sehen und zu lesen ueber Mini Jazzis Besuche. Ueberall wo sie hinkommt , wird sie wie ein liebes Familienmitglied aufgenommen und die Besuchstage sind voll Spass, Unternehmungen und Abenteuer. Wenn man bedenkt, dass sie mittlerweile schon bei so Vielen war...sind wir alle ein Teil einer wunderschoenen Geschichte! :)
