Attempting to Sew ABJD Dollhouse Miniature Clothing I had a whole bunch of projects lined up but it’s difficult to start anything big because I’ve been sick and flu-y for about 2 weeks now (and I still feel like junk). Sewing was the only “easy” project that I can work on since I can do it while reclined and under a blanket :-). I started with a squa...

31 Days of Etsy Challenge: Week 3 Review Another week done for the 31 Days of Etsy Challenge… woo! I know, I know, its one review post right after the other!

Fairyland Ball Jointed Dolls BJD for 1:12 Scale Dollhouses, the Puki Puki Pong Pong model. After some delays caused by the snowstorm that hit New England recently, my first asian ball jointed doll FINALLY came yesterday. He’s from a S. Korean company called, Fairyland, but I ordered it through their official US retailer, Denver Doll Emporium. I outlined it all in the old BJD for 1:12 Scal...

ScrapBook Paper for Minis! My Recent Acquisitions I went on a mini-shopping spree for minis last week! I’m quite pleased with some of my purchases. The hardware store had contact paper that had a Faux leather print on it. ZOMG the possibilities! It would work great as flooring, but I think I’ve found my Nyne kitchen floor! But while at the craft st...

(like me!) If you are using the Blogger platform and you do not allow options other than Google accounts/LiveJournal/etc, then you are prohibiting these people that ...

Making Dollhouse Miniature Tumblers/Cups on the Cheap! I have a habit of thinking in miniature ALL THE TIME, so I am always on the lookout for 1:1 scale stuff that I can repurpose into something in 1:12 scale. In a recent trip to HomeDepot, I spied these end caps for the ClosetMaid shelving units and immediately thought “dollhouse cups!” They’re made of...
