  1. Yesterday I finally started dressing my bear, she still needs shoes and the little details like buttons. I was taking her to our miniature club workshop to work on, I checked the mail on the way and my kitty I won from Bridget McCarty was there!!!! She is fantastic!!! I pictured the kitty in the arm of a little girl when I saw her, since my dolls are still in progress the little bear offered to hold her so she wouldn't be lonely.

  2. With it's rounded roof the Loganberry reminds me of a haystack, I know that isn't what you have planned. What if you did something with an Oatmeal container so it would be round like a haystack? The floor area would be small and you could cut down the height to where you wanted. You could even add extra rooms with a cornmeal and salt containers, like three haystacks joined together. Just a thought.

  3. If you are wanting to sew check this out, http://www.edinburghimports.com/articles/minibears.html , I started with an Emily Farmer kit, http://www.edinburghimports.com/shopping/k...ize.asp?kit=586 Her patterns work up very nicely and her directions are clear. The kits includes everything but the stuffing.

    Here is a list of all her kits they carry, http://www.edinburghimports.com/shopping/search.asp

    If you want to try needlefelting, I can help you with that, just let me know. Here is a link to a few of my bears,

  4. I agree, I see way too many people who are always bored, couch potatoes, they have a tendency to get depressed too. We on the other hand are never bored, get excited over the "LITTLEST" things, and are generally happy people! A perfect example is the founder of our miniature club, she is 83, very active in our club plus others and is still creating all the time, she still uses power tools too!!! I want to be like her when I grow up!!!!

  5. I keep smaller things in the boxes made for embroidery floss. I have one for half scale. I have more for 1" scale, one is all plastic things like Chrysnbon plates, hooks, etc. one for metal miniatures, one for beads, etc. Bigger things are in the plastic shoe boxes divided by projects or categories. I also have a lot of pencil boxes for stitchery projects, etc. I have photo boxes for sewing items that are labeled, elastic, ribbon, trims, etc. They work nicely for storage too. Other photo boxes for my rotary tool and attachments, heat gun, rubberbands, different types of toothpicks, and one for my 1/4" scale stuff which is sub divided into tinier storage boxes. LOL

  6. I imagine just about everyone here would come back with creative since we are! As for occupations, I have been a Babysitter, maker of dolls, teddy bears, dollclothes, miniatures, wallpaperer, painted murals, and sewn for people so creative would cover it! I had to laugh at the last part! "You're a PERSUADER", my family would be more apt to say a "Bossy"! I guess having a husband, six kids and all these pets over the years has made me rather "persuasive" in order to have things go the way I wanted them to. LOL

  7. I would go with the rose color in your photo, http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/i...i&img=35125 with white trim. We had our RL door that color which was also had the oval window, our house is gray with white trim. It looked really nice and got a lot of compliments! I think it would also pull your interior and exterior together nicely. It also looks very nice with flowers to if you are landscaping. I had alot of pinks and lavenders in my gardens.

  8. Thanks Jess!!!

    No, Holly, Barbies are only 11 1/2", that would make her a huge baby!!! She is as long as my hand, Barbie babies are about 3" long. I have seen similar sized babies with the Tonner fashion ladies that I think are about 20". I figured at 7" she is a third of a 21" baby so I measured a real bassinet and cut it down to a third to get an idea of how big it should be. I think I may have made is shorter heightwise because I wanted it to fit in the acrylic case I have, can't remember for sure. I know it isn't an exact duplicate but I thought it looked proportional to her. :thumb:
