Aaaarggh

Where did time go? Life bulldozered it's way into my plans and I came to a screeching halt. My last post was September 9th, it is now October 28. But really, it feels like I just blinked!

It means I missed all of your updates!! I will be catching up with your blogs the coming days. That means I won't be doing much on my house as there just aren't enough hours in a day but at least you know why.

It's not like nothing happened at all, I did go to a miniature fair and I had that workshop work bench. So let me show you what I bought and what I made.

I bought a fabulous Hästens bed, a crochet bedspread for the bedroom of the Ancestors house, a living room table, lights, cold porcelain and a fridge. I did not break the bank this time. I was looking for a modern wardrobe and a modern toilet and sink but there were none.

I love the fridge and as a plantbased foodie I would love to have one just like that in real life. The kitchen in the Willowcrest is very small though, maybe too small for such a fridge?

As for the bedroom: I had to shorten the headboard a little but now I realize the purple wall doesn't fit. And the bed is big. Being in the front, it dominates the room. I was planning to put a wardrobe against the wall in front of the doors. In real life, I don't know if I would like to sleep in front of the doors. That's why I situated the bed on the purple wall. But now I don't know what to do. It's not like I really have to sleep there 😂

All I would need to do is change the bedside lights. I still want to make feet under the bed to lift it from the floor.

I love the light through the windows!

And now for the work bench. The bench and dollhouse were already assembled.
All the rest had to be made and everything needed to be painted, and of course personalized. Please poke the pictures for a better view.

I added flowers to the dollhouse front gable which gave me the opportunity to display the mini tweezers from a previous post.

A work bench has to be scratched and covered in paint.

I had initially planned the work bench in the alcove, that's how I designed my lighting plan but looking at it, I don't think it fits well at all.

So I decided to change it around and it looks way better now. Of course this too will mean a change in the lighting plan.

Of course the exterior of the house still needs lots of work but I dread punching out the small parts from the dry and brittle wood. For now I am going to catch up with almost 2 months of your posts!
