My writing desk / My French house

I finished the writing desk. The desk is for my French house. It is a dollshouse by Tollgate miniature. The postcard album is by Marleen and the flover & vase by Lena.

I bought the house last year in Soest/Germany on a dollshouse fair.

It is a very little house (only 2 rooms) and so I decided to finish this house this year (I mean to finish the big "work" wallpaper, to paint the windows, electro.... in the base I will make a little bathroom and a hall (maybe I can use the delprado stairs??????)

Last year my friend Bärbel made this wonderful writing desk for me as a birthday present. Wow I was spechless (normally I speak a lot..)
I will put this desk into my little French House which I bought last year.

My holiday projects

Sorry for no posting for such a long time. I was on holiday without my laptop (yes I have forgotten it...)

I spent my holiday in our caravan at the Belgium seaside. During the day I painted the new fence for our garden (so my little dogs can not escape so often....yes they really love cats and rabbits..).
Of course I made also some minis. Some books for the library (yes I know that's children books but later I will replace them - I will make some leather books). I made only the books which you can see in the left shelf. All of them are readable.
For the library I bought 8 shelves. Maybe I can make the books more older.
Here you can find the printies for the books:

On dollshouse fairs I like to buy workshop kits. So I need no so much material when I go on holiday. I tried to make a carpet. Here you can find the link for the kit:

My French Mini House part 2

Yesterday I was on the net searching for the right printies. Here are some links for you:

It is a very old house and so there are some ads on the walls.

I will make also a stair and some old lamps. At the moment I am more than happy that this ufo (unfinished projects I am a specialist for that) is nearly finish!!!.

My French House

Today I made some flowers (I used Flower Soft)and some window shutters for the house.
I found the shutters on the internet.
If someone is interested I can send you the printies (of course free of charge!!!).

This is my e-mail:

minisonja@gmx.de

I used 120 gr paper for the shutters. Later I used varnish (no glossy one) to make the paper more stable.
Tomorrow I will make some ironwork for the windows.
Yesterday I tried to make a roof (I used the candle holder...but the result was a catastrophe so there is no photo of the roof)

A new "old" house

Sometimes I start with a mini and than I am not longer interested in (that happend very often). This dollshouse is also such a project. Yesterday I found it again in one of my plastic boxes....
I started about 2-3 years ago with the house....now I will finish it!!! Really (o.k. I hope it)....
I changed the windows a little bit....and today I will make a new roof. I will use the little candle container.

My dirty mattress

So here is a photo of my dirty mattress.......
