Hmm, don't know why the first two pictures are sideways. Sorry about that! So...some of you know that I've been trying to crochet small clothing for my future dolls, but have been having some difficulty. These are the first two things that I've completed. A little dress and matching hat. The top picture, of course, is before any decoration. Sooooo difficult. I made a little coat, but it looks so bad that I don't want to share it with you. :( I don't know if my future doll will be able to wear this dress as it doesn't open in the back. The pattern doesn't allow for an opening. I think it will look cute in her tiny closet though. :) Now I must get back to decorating my little house so that I will have more to show you. Thanks for visiting!! <3

This is my little fireplace. I bought it at Hobby Lobby. I put off painting it because I couldn't decide on a color. Haha, I have difficulty making creative decisions. I tried to make the base resemble marble. I painted the tiles by hand so they're not so perfect, haha. I am tempted to repaint them because in this picture they don't actually look like tiles. I am a bit of a perfectionist. :D Overall, I am very happy with the way it looks. Hope you like it, too.
Hello friends!! I told a few of you about the little blanket I was making. Well, this is it. Can you tell it has a zigzag pattern? It's kind of stiff. I think I pull the thread too tight. I tried soaking it in fabric softener, but it is still stiff. If I make another one, I will try very hard not to pull too tightly. Thanks for visiting. :D

Hello friends!! I have finished the sofa and ottoman. I also built a window seat. I measured the window seat perfectly, but then it was too tight and wouldn't fit. I kept sanding the ends with sandpaper until it fit like it is supposed to. :) The room is coming together. I can't wait to make pictures for the walls. You see the table at the end of the sofa (and next to the chair)? I made it using an empty thread spool and the lid from a sour cream container. I haven't decided which fabric I will cover it with. Not sure how the room will look when it is complete because am not sure how the furniture will be arranged. Please excuse the wrinkled rug. I will try to be tidier in my next pictures. Thanks for visiting!! <3

Hello!! What do you think? This is my first piece of furniture. I just love it! The fabric is from JoAnn Fabrics. Haha, borrowed the lamp and goodies from my child's house. I am so grateful to the wonderful woman who did the blog to show me how to build this chair. She is so super talented and so kind that she would share her knowledge with others. I can't wait to build the sofa and ottoman to match the chair. Also, can't wait to build other things!! The woman whose blog I got the directions from is:

You should check her out. So many things to build from her instructions. <3

Yay, stairs are in!! I was going to put rails on the stairs, but it was difficult putting in the stairs and I didn't want to struggle with railings too. Put I did build rails for the openings of the stairs. Wouldn't want the little residents to fall. :) The house kit didn't come with these rails. I built them from strips of wood and bought a package of those little peg things to use at the tops of the posts. I think the stairs and rails really make the house look complete. Working on flower boxes for outside of 4 of the windows. Just so you know, it means so much to me that you are visiting my little house. Love and hugs to all you you. <3
