Day 11 of the corners?

No, not really.
My mother is not feeling well, she has the flu.
I worked a little on my corner, i played a little with fimo.
 I made some roses and stick them to these plastic plants.
That is an easier way to make climbing roses than the method with silk.







 I also made the lids of the jars (from a Bic pen) and filled them with beads.
 More jars with lids from fimo.
I hope my mother is feeling better soon.
Beterschap mam.

I see i have almost reached the 300 followers, welcome new ones.
I better start  working on a Give-Away now...so stay tuned. I let you know what it is when i reached the magic 300.

Day 10 of the hobby-corners

No, we're not done.
There is still some thing to make for our hobby-corners.
This is what we made on our mother daughter evening:
Can you see what i added?
Yes, little spools of sewing thread!
 Here are more of them, i see now that they are not standing straight.
I also made tree "glass" potts from a piece of a pen, still have to make the lids from fimo-clay and fill them with beads.
 I also crochet a little bag for some wool.
 I am not so happy with it, the holes are to big.
 My mother made this plant.
 and these two,
and this Hedera.
 I also put a Hedera against the wall.
And a pot with some stakes, still have to make a rose to go in there.
The pots are lids saw in half.
Next week we are going to make desk lamps, i make roses and the lids of the potts and maybe more fimo things.
I also want to make a rug, so not finished at all!!
Some of you were already sad the project was finished, but we still have to add more bits and bobs.
So stay tuned.

I am already starting to paint the little shop i bought at the Arnhem Fair.
This is going to be a baby-shop.


This is just to show you what i am doing, first layer of paint is on.
I want to ad more color.
Oooh yes i know i am strange, i start so many projects at the same time.
I am also still working on my big dollshouse.
But hey i like it!
Have a nice weekend.

Day 9 of the hobby corners

 Another evening with my mother working on our little hobby-corners.
Let me show you what we made:
 I made a little sewing-box, with all kinds of stuf in it.
 We both glued some handels on our drawers.
 I started te glue some straws together, still need some paint on it to look like a pen-holders.
 We both made some more balls of wool, this time with alarger piece of straw.
 You see? a bit larger than we made before.
 My mother painted a wooden thing and put some pieces of lace in it.
 She made a stool (earlier this week) for her sewing table.
 She filled a bead with pencils.
 I made a bulletin board (earlier this week), needs some more stuff on it.
 My mother wrapped up some wool in plastic.
 She made a gorgious basket (earlier this week)and filled it with wool.
 This is how her corner looks now, almost finnished.
 This is how my corner looks now, i want to make a rug too and have a lot of empty space on the shelfs to fill.
and i have too make another basket for the wool.

Last weekend i was at the dollshouse fair in Arnhem and met some of my blogfriend, so lovely to see them in person.
I took my camera with me, but stupid me, i forgot to take pictures.
I bought two lovely little shops.
One is going to be a baby-shop and the other one i am not sure yet.
I am already started to paint the outside....oh i have to make some pictures to show you about the progress.
Nice weekend you all!
