Hi, friends! Finally, another post, right? I wanted an iron bed for the mom's room in my little house so I looked on line and found a real one that I thought I could duplicate. I measured on graph paper first. I bought the small wooden dowels at Walmart. They came in bags, but a lot of them weren't straight so I had to buy a couple of long ones and cut them to size. Then I used a generic Dremel tool with a little rounded end drill bit to drill the holes in the dowels. The dowels that fit into those holes got sanded on each side so that they'd fit into the rounded holes. I used beads to decorate the bed. I filled the holes in the beads with gesso so they wouldn't look so much like beads, hehe. I used Kris's tutorial at 1inchminisbyKris, for the mattresses, only I didn't make the buttons like she did in the tufting. I glued in tiny beads.
Behind the bed is the closet for the bedroom that is almost complete. See the little plastic containers that I'll used for baskets? Those are sauce containers from McDonalds that I've trimmed. The handles on the faux drawers are bead spacers, and jewelry jump rings that I opened up to fit. I will next make bedding for the bed, and curtains for the windows, and finish the room with decor. I'll show you a pic when it's complete. I hope you like my little bed. Thank you for visiting.

Hi, friends. I hope you like Daisy's outfit. The flowered dress is from a skirt that my first born donated to my miniature hobby, and the blue "denim" look fabric is from an old nightgown. I used a Barbie pattern and shrank the pattern on a printer, by 50%. The pink dress in the bottom picture was from the same pattern.
In the top picture, there's a belt with a buckle that I made from twisting jewelry wire into the shape that I needed. You can see in the bottom picture that I made a few attempts at shoes until I got the size about right. I sewed the clothes by hand, but the piping on the blue jacket is crochet thread that I glued on. I hope you like my little creations. Haha. When I got the doll I thought sure I'd make lots of clothes for her, but wow, it takes a long time. So now I think I might not make so many, hehe. Thank you for visiting. Big hugs.

Hi, again! I'd like to introduce the newest member of Sugarpie's house, her mom, Daisy, in honor of my own dear mom, Daisy. My mom went to be with our Lord in 2013, and I miss her very much.
My doll's clothes are old Barbie clothes. I altered the skirt to fit, but the top was from little Kelly and it fit well. I made the fuzzy slippers with help from a YouTube video. I will do my best to add to little Daisy's wardrobe, with the help of more videos, of course, hehe.
Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed what you saw.

Hi, friends! The top picture is my newest rug that I cross stitched for my kitchen. I so wanted to do fringe at the ends, but couldn't quite figure out how to do it with the weave of the cross stitch. The bottom pic is my new stair carpet. Cute, right? It's from a ribbon bolt. I was feeling so ambitious I thought I might even do railings for the stairs, but was afraid it might be too difficult to remove the carpet if I wanted to. So, little people will have to be cautious when going to the second floor, hehe. Hope you enjoyed your visit. Big hugs. Still trying to come up with lighting so they can stop stumbling about in the dark.

Oh my, 3 posts today. I have been working on my wee bathroom. The bottom picture shows my little window. I made a curtain rod and a curtain. Also, I need something to put towels on, so I painted an old tea cart. It was gold and a bit ugly. So I painted it black - leaving a bit of gold showing through, then put varnish on it to make it shine.
In the top picture, you see a little robe that I made yesterday. Isn't it adorable?? I just love it. Thank you for visiting.
Hi again!! This is a picture of my mom's family, in probably - 1954. They were simple country folk who lived simply and between two mountains. See the chicken? Also, most were bare footed. My mother is the tall girl in the back on the right (in pink). This was originally a black and white photo. I had it colorized and made into a poster. I framed it and hung it in my real house. This, of course, is a miniature version. I hope you like it.
