My mother's work published again!

 In the dutch" Dollhouse  Nederland", magazine with her tutorial of making this sweater.
I think my mother is going to be very famouse.
My mother made the sweater, cap and jeans.
The lovely porcelein doll is made by Angelique, she sells them at fairs and she has a website:          
She also has a very nice blog here, please take a look, you won't be dissapointed.

My mother really liked the nice comments on her needlework shop and want to thank all of you all, give you all the greetings and kisses back.
She wants to do something for you all and she is making a swaeter for a Give-Away.
When it is finneshed she will anounce it on my blog, and we have a little Give-Away party...so not yet.

Hope you all have a nice day.

Het Gouden Schaartje (The Golden Scissor)

 I promised to show more mini's of my mum on this blog, so here is her sewingshop called "Het Gouden Schaartje".
She made this shop in a antiek case that normally holds a sewingmachine.
This is one of my favorite projects of her.
The photo's don't do justice.
It is way more nicer in real life.







That's all for now...more to come later.

I have a lot of W.I.P (work in progres) projects wich i finely going to finish in this year.

Here are some:
This little house is screaming to be finished, it needs the rest of the kitchen and the room upstairs on the left.
 I am not happy with the outside, it is way to shiny, so i will fix that and there is no toilet in this house, i am going to make a outside toilet.
I want to rise the whole house and make a little stairs in front and a garden around it.
There are still rooftiles to make and attach.
 Another project: Beauty Angels
A beauty salon etalage in a roombox, needs more stuff in it.
 This wicker basket has to be filled with old toys and memories for in my big dollshouse.
 The hobbyroom corner does still have empty spaces.
 and i have to make a rug for it.
My big dollhouse....it dont have to be finnished on the inside this year, but the outside must be finnished.
I am now working on the roof.
 My needelwork:
I am making a rug for the diningroom of the big dollshouse, i started more then a year ago!

Any suggestions?
