nursery things




Hannah and Lucy in their bouncer and playmat. i bought these from the internet, there winnie the pooh in pink, i also got a changing mat in the same theme, but you can buy alsorts of different styles.

here is some bits for my nursery including the mat and the bouncer in the picture above. theres a potty, changing mat, 2 bibs- one of which is a winnie the pooh matching the mat and bouncer and the changing mat. a bottle and rattle holder, including the bottle and rattle in the pockets and a little pink girls bag assorted.

handmade flowers

i bought these flowers from hobbycraft and boyes- from the wedding and cake decorating section. i also bought some little rosebuds and lillies from maple street, which arnt in this photos. i also bought the little pots from hobbycraft too, you can buy them in a range of different sizes. i got some ballest that is used for model railways, looks a bit like gravel, or potting soil as ive used it for. all you do is mix it with pva glue and put it into your pot then put ur flowers in and let it dry. looks prety relisitic too. x

handmade dresses, and aprons.

its amazing what you can do with a little bit of spare material, and transfer printable paper :) oh and a bit of ribbon

the aprons are all different, theres a spiderman, high school musical- in which i have made two of, for the twin girls. snow white and spongebob squarepants.






the larger dress above is from the DHE again but the other is handmade.

living room


well heres my living room. its more aless done now, just the celing
and the chimney breast to do and to finish the skirting. :) complete
with a mini xmas tree.
well i havnt posted much lately, mainly due to the fact ive moved back in with my mum so havnt had the time.. i havnt even had much time to do any work on my dolls house or that of my hogwarts dream, just the ideas going around in my head constantly..

im hoping that now ive sorted things out, and sorted uni things out, i can start to do some miniature work again. so heres to hoping :) anyway theres a lot of things to be doing in this house, still need to make internal and external doors, finish the windows, finish decorating and finish my lighting off. im also need to do a cupboard for under the hallway stairs, for cleaning products such as a mop and bucket. ive also just had an idea do make a cupboard for the attic landing for things such as spare toilet rolls, and towels.

then of course after ive done all that theres still the garden to start/finish and the next stage of the extension. :) think ive got my work cut out, but hey it keeps me occupied and out of mischeive as my mum would say. :P

handmade nursery rug.

this is a handmade nursery rug, design taken from the nursery rhyme- 'hey diddle diddle'. image found on google. i printed it out on t-shirt transfer paper then ironed it on to some fleecy type material. this was my first attempt, which is guess isnt bad.

the girls bedroom

well this is the girls bedroom. its going to be very similar to a princess room but with my own stamp on to it. the door and the celing still need doing as does the chimney breast, and lighting. the skirting boards still too.



the dining room.

As you can see this is the unfinished dining room, still need to put in the dido rail and furnishings and then its done :)

living room

at the minute the living room is very unfinished, the coving and skirting boards need doing as does the celing. the door needs creating, and the fireplace needs fitting. sorry for the pic being slant its the way ive angled my camera, but you get the jist lol. i wasnt sure of the combination of the wallapapers and im not sure wether to put the stripy paper all the way across the back wall hmmm






The children's attic playroom

the childrens playroom is very birght and is animal based again but more on safari/jungle. as you can see you can still see where the stairs would of gone. this is going to be eventually filled in and a wall will be made to seperate the hallway from the playroom.









Here is a toy train- painted by me, 2 board games made my me, a pack of cards.






The new hallways.


As you can see this is the first floor hallway. i just need to put lights in and finish the stair cases and banisters. and put on a door to the girls bedroom. on the ground floor hallway, theres going to be a cupboard under the stairs for things such as mops, buckets, etc.







the process of extension.

as you can see i have extended a lttle furthur to create hallways, so that some of the rooms dont loose much space. i think this has worked well and im pleased with the outcome. my brother visited one day and came up with the idea- my boyfriend was far from pleased as this was his job to carry out the task, but am pleased with his work. All that needs doing is another dividing wall for the attic, and the roof putting on, then the front of the house needs sorting out.

the nursery.

The next room i tackled was the nursery. i decided on a tractor/farm theme, but with a little added twist of winnie the pooh and friends. on the back wall im planning on re-designing it and putting a murial of winnie the pooh and friends, on a tree. so watch this space. origionally the furniture such as the wardrobe and rocking chair was just plain wood, so i painted them white to tie in with cot. all i really need for this room now is a changing table, and a lamp. i also need to finish the windows off, do curtains and make a window sill.
