Banana boxes and a greengrocer.

My mum and i glued together the bananaboxes that i printed earlier.

I saw them at a site more then a year ago and printed them on my work.

Sorry girls and guys, i don't remember were they from.

If you have them on your site or know were you can find them, please let me know.

Then we painted a part of the inside a matching color.

So you don't see the white when they are filled.

 I made a little crate also and ofcourse my mother is 10 or better say 20 steps ahaid and she made the perfect man to sell her fruit and veggies.

 She made him out of Fimo with a flexable body.

 Dressed him with a nice sweater, jeans and a cap. all made by herself.

 Look at his shoes aren't they fit for standing a long time?

She used barbie shoes and painted them.

 He has a moustache (and hair) from real hair.

 I love how she made his jeans, they even got pockets.

 I have to make a man or woman too for my cart, but i don't think mine is a beautiful as this guy.

I am not good in making dolls.

But i give it a try anyway.

You only get better in doing things by practice it a lot.

Bey bey, see you next time.

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.

Happy Birthday Mam

Today is my mams Birthday.

Lieve mama, van harte gefeliciteerd, nog vele gezonde en gelukkige jaren.

Een hele fijne dag, tot vanmiddag.

My mother is the youngest of tree sisters and mother of tree girls, i am the oldest.

Sinds i infected her with the miniature virus, it is her greatest hobby.

She is making something for the dollshouse every day.

She is already retired so she has a lot of time to do that, resulting in a lot of houses and projects.

What she like most is knitting in miniature and making dolls from fimo.

Here are some examples of her work.

A roombox full of knitwork.

 Some of the contents:

This is a roombox called at the Photographer.

She made a replica of the drawing made by Anton Pieck.

 A lot of our family photo's are in there and she made the dolls and almost everything in there.

 The picture on the leftside  is her wedding picture.

 This drawing is what inspired her.

Mam, thank for your love and  Happy Birthday!!!

Day 4 of the corners/ wooden beads and more

Oke, i let you wait for the results of last wednesday, because i had a litlle party.

Look here what we did.

My mother wanted her bureau a bit higher, because she had a gorgious sewing table she wanted to put in her corner.

She glued 6 wooden beads under it, now it has the good hight.

 This is the sewingtable, isn't it gorgious.

No she didn't made it, but she bought it at a car boot sale a while ago.

 The rug she made during last week.

It is knotted and then the dreads are cut smaller.

She also knitted this vest and skirt last week.

I love the buttons she used.

You can see my mother had more time.

She is not working anymore.

I did nothing last week, well not making miniatures, i did a lot but no time for making mini's.

I am so happy my mother comes on wednesday evening, so i have to make time for mini's.

I love our evenings together.

This is what i did with beads.

 I took 4 beads.

 I sawed a square to go on top and tadaaaa! I made a stool.

 Then i first painted the top bleu and crocheted acover for the top.

 I crocheted a granny square and when the square was as big as the top i crocheted in round.

Oke that was all folks.
