Swap idea - an old mattress for the attic

Today I will start with my attic swap. Some years ago I made an old mattress for my attic (it is in my Country house which I finished 2006).
I found only an old blue/white fabric (my old summer trousers)....
Tomorrow I will post the result of mattress no. 1 (we are 8 in our swap group..so I have to do a lot..)

Pictures on the wall

Today I put all my pictures into the little Buttercup dollshouse. I found also a cheap metal milk churn in one of my plastc boxes and an old oval frame so I made 2 new kitchen minis.

Some pictures & frames for my Buttercup dollshouse.
Sorry the photo is no really good.
I will produce more of them because I like little birdhouses & co.

A bedsidetable for my Buttercup

Today I finished my little bedside table for my Buttercup.
I bought the table for 0,50 € on a dollshouse fair and used some blue and brown paint.

Some days ago I ordered some "false teeth"......but they are to big (made by Euromini)....so I have to put something on it. I found a little cross so I made a little bible.
The glasses was also in one of my boxes (I buy very often minis but I have no idea for which project! So I put them into boxes and bags...maybe one day I have a better system how I can find them.....I only found the sun glasses....I hope to find the reading glasses in the next days....
the rest are printies which I found on the internet.
Shaving brush, tray and cup made by Chrysnbon I added only some blue paint on the plastic minis.

Tomorrow you can see my results.

Pelmet Workshop

Today I made a little pelmet for my buttercup. Here is the workshop. If you have a question just send me an e-mail to:

minisonja@gmx.de

In the internet I found this pattern for the palmet:

http://www.sonnhaus.at/seite/A/439//?fromnav=1

I used pattern H for my pelmet. I copied the pattern into ms-word and changed the size.



I glued the pattern on an old postcard. For my pelmet I used 2 wooden beads (each about 8 mm wide but you can also use a rest of balsa wood).
Cut the pattern plus 16 mm extra (2 x 8 mm).




Glue the fabric on both side of the pattern! It looks not nice if there is nothing on the backside of your pelmet (a lot of people forget that).
Than form the side of the pelmet and glue the beads on the fabric.



This is the frontside of your pelmet.



Now you can glue a ribbon on your pelmet and add some lace as a little curtain for your pelmet.



This is a photo of my Buttercup's living room. I had some problems to take a good photo of my new pelmet because it is a dormer window.
