Legolas

Ieks, het is gewoon een beetje eng....
Ik ben allemaal dingen aan het afmaken!!!!
En dat doe ik eigenlijk nooit ;-)
It's a little bit scary.....I'm finishing projects!!!!
And I hardly ever finish projects ;-)
 
Ik had al jaren een pakketje voor Legolas in een la liggen
en ik was ook al aan hem begonnen,
maar echt afmaken kwam er maar niet van!
Tot vandaag....ik kreeg opeens de geest en voilà!
For years I had a kit for Legolas in my stash
and I already started making him,
but I never really finished him!
Until today.....suddenly I saw the light and voilà!
 
Het is een pakketje van Helena Reijen.
It's a kit by Helena Reijnen.
 
 Ik vind het popje alleen niet heel erg op Legolas lijken,
dus ik denk dat ik hem maar Duplolas ga noemen,
de grote broer van Legolas :-)
I don't think the doll itself looks very much like Legolas,
so I might call him Duplolas,
the big brother of Legolas ;-)
 
Hij struint nu rond op de markt bij het tudorhuis
en hij lijkt zich daar wel thuis te voelen!
At the moment he's walking around at the market at the tudor house
and he seems to feel at home there!

Drakenkleed/ Dragon tapestry

Ik bedacht me opeens dat ik nog niet had laten zien waar het drakenkleed hangt
dat ik van Kitty heb gekregen met Sinterklaas 2012!
 
I suddenly realised I haven't shown you where I hung the dragon tapestry
I got from Kitty in December 2012!

Sinterklaas 2012

Gisteravond vierden we pakjesavond in de chatroom van het KB. 
Het was erg gezellig en de cadeautjes waren geweldig. 
En ik ben zo blij met mijn cadeau!!!

Yesterday evening we celebrated "pakjesavond"
in the chatroom of the "Kladblog"
It was so much fun and the swaps were wonderful.
And I'm so happy with the gift I received!!!
 
 
Kitty was mijn hulpsint en zij heeft voor mij dit prachtige wandkleed gemaakt!!!
Ik ga er een mooi plekje voor zoeken in mijn tudor huis.
 
Kitty made a swap for me and she made this wonderful tapestry!!!!
I'm going to hang it in my tudor house!
 
Kitty, nogmaals heel erg bedankt,
ik had me niks mooiers kunnen voorstellen dan dit cadeau!
 
Kitty, thank you so much,
it's the best gift ever!!
 
Ik moest ook iets maken en wel voor Annemieke!
Een verlanglijstje had ze niet,
maar toen ik op haar blog ging kijken,
wist ik al snel waar ik iets voor kon maken!
Annemieke is met een 1:24 heksenhuis bezig
en ja.....dat spreekt mij natuurlijk wel aan ;-)
 
I also had to make something
and the one who would receive my gift was Annemieke.
When I visited her blog, I soon knew what to make!
Annemieke is working on a 1:24 witch's house
and I'm kind of into witches and half scale too LOL
 
Dit is het geworden....
This is what I made....
Ik heb er meteen 2 gemaakt,
want ik wou zelf natuurlijk ook wel zo'n kastje hebben ;-)
 
I immediately made 2
because I just knew I wanted to keep it myself ;-)
 
Hier kan je zien hoe klein de kastjes zijn!
 
Here you can see how small the cabinets are! 
 
Liefs, Margriet

Latest creations

Ooooh, I've been a bad Blogger...
shame on me
I just don't have much to tell.....
but I can show you
what I have made the last month!
Another little ballerina bunny
A strange machine.
I really don't know what it does....
but it must be good for something
I like making strange things!!!

A friend of mine bought a kit of this sweet little bear 3 years ago!
She asked me to make it for her and I got the kit 8 months ago...
but it was worth the long wait...
don't you think???

Another friend bought the same kit 3 years ago...
I offered to make it for her some weeks ago...
and this little one was finished the next day

Another friend visited London to search for the eggs
that were hidden all over the city.
When she got home she made some in miniature
and I was so inspired...I made one too!!!
It is called "the Birth of a Legend"

This is the orignal egg!

And my last made miniatures are 2 orreries.
The one on the left was made by my mother.

She wasn't quite finished yet when I made the photo,
but a few days ago she send me a photo
of the finished orrery!

Hugs, Margriet

Books

Some time ago I made a bookcase for my tudor house,
but it still needed to be filled with books
I already had some items I wanted to put in the bookcase...
Now I finally have a place for the books about E-beertje.
My friend Edith made them for me!
I'm sure the wizard family loves to read about his adventures!

But I still needed a lot of books!
So I made 72 books!!!!

And the bookcase is almost full  

I also painted and filled the printer's drawer
I made 2 weeks ago!

Hugs, Margriet

Cascading geranium

Finally I finished my geranium!!!

I started this kit by my friend Hanny quite some time ago
and this week I found the courage to finish it

It is a wonderful kit.
The branches of the geranium really dangle
But you need some endurance!

Today I made a plant hanger! 
Grandma thinks her little balcony is very cozy now

A better picture of the plant hanger... 
I turned the pot a little,
because it looked better.
But I think I will have to add
some more branches to the right now!

Hugs, Margriet

Club, stairs and Mouse house books

Today we had another meeting of our dollshouseclub.
This time we went to Ineke
and she had prepared the workshop we did today!
We made printer's drawers...
The empty one has to be painted and filled.
But as you can see...
Ineke gave us enough to fill 10 more
The hearts, bottle and lady bug were gifts too!

Ineke was having a sale,
so I've bought some miniatures too... 
The plastic tootbrush container was a gift too.
It will make a nice display case!

When I was home again
I stained the stair gates
and when they were dry,
I glued them in the house!
 


And I received my ordered books.
A 1:12 and a 1:24 scale version of the Mousehouse book!
Made by my friend Edith

Two out of three

I've made the balcony railings for two balconies!
Much safer now



One more railing to go!!!

And now I'm on the look out for nice door knobs....
Anyone has a good idea?

And I need something for the roofridge,
but I really don't know what to use

Hugs, Margriet

The wizard family can now safely go upstairs.
I have added a bannister.

A bit boring ;-)

Not the most fun or entertaining thing I have shown you...
but oh...it's amazing what it does to my tudor house!
Well...at least it is for me.....
maybe you won't even notice it

Today I glued wooden slats around the base
on which the house is standing.
And I glued the barge boards on the gable ends!


Now almost all the bare wood is covered!
I only have to think of a solution for the roof ridge!
But it's already looking very nice


And I glued really small stones on the roof of the attic door!
So that's finished too!
