CraftRetreat 2011

This weekend the annual dollhouse and embroidery fair was held in Stavanger.

And I was there Yay!!
I was so eager to get to may class on friday,
that I completely forgot my camera.

Josje from the Netherlands was having a 

class in how to make a french bed.
She is a very talented lady and I have participated
one of her class before,which you can see here

It was a lot of work and a lot of sanding and lots of fun :D

Here are some pictures from the exhibition on sunday.

And some of the shops

Tone from Bitteliten

Solveig Marie (no blog)

Liz from Kaktus Quilts

Things that I bought....

Most of the things you see are bought at Rons Miniature Shop

I just love this little box with sewing items :D

I have been looking for some modern sewing mashine for some time now.

The one in the back also have working light ;)

This adorable figurine. I love it!!

 My pink little moment LOL!!

Some new decorative lamps.

Scissors. They can`t open or close.

A vase and a mesure cup

These next items I bought at Hobby Lobby.

I do wish we had a store like this in Norway :D

I think I`ve got plenty of glue.

some wooden floors.

I also bought som fabric for my quilts addiction, you can se them here in my other blog.

Ron´s Miniature in Orlando

 It´s been two weeks now since I got

 back from our family vacation in Orlando,Florida.

We had a great time visiting Disney world and Universal Studio.

But what I was looking forward to was to visit Rons Miniature shop.

I also met with Janne who was 

visiting Orlando with her family as well.

Norway is in mourning

Sending out my warmest thoughts to the victims, their families and all others concerned this sad day. Take care of each other and show concern for all who need it ♥

So sad and unbelievable that this could happen here in the heart of Norway.

There are no words that can explain how we feel right now.

Some new bags.

Once again we have had an online meeting project

at the norwegian dukkehusforum.

This time we made bags

and this is how mine turned out to be.

I`ve used paper and fabric.

I`m quit busy in RL at the moment, therefore there has been no blogging for a while.

Be patient with me and I will bee back soon....... I hope :D

The Kitchen

 

I took some picture of my little kitchen today. Been a while since I have been working on my dollhouse. I`m mostly occupied with my sewing at the moment.

Today I`ve reorganized little bit and put some new furniture in there. Still missing some pieces, like some new lamps and moldings. But as allways I`m in no hurry . I`m just enjoying the moment. :D

Have a nice day!!

A doll carriage

 

Last Wednesday,  I participated a get together with friends at the norwegian dollhouse forum. This time we were going to make this cute little  doll carriage. I found the tutorial HERE

 

It`s made of cardbord and fabric.

It was fun to make, but I won`t start a mass production of these right away. When I was done, there was more glue on me than on the doll stroller LOL!!

And lucky me, I had this cute little doll, and she  fits right in the doll carriage :D
