Yippee....Another finished (as it can be, for now) project!

Being at home this weekend I was able to spend some time finishing off the market stall. Finally, Plants & Flowers is open for business.The gardener, Mr Pottit, has taken over the reins and promises to keep it well stocked, with some more additions from me still to be added, no doubt. Hope you like it.. x

And before I sign off, welcome to three new followers, Trish, Sylvia and Vinchen - thanks for dropping by!

Quick Update

As it's been over a week since I last posted (sorry!) I thought I'd drop by with a quick update. All week I've been making the 24th scale furniture to go into Mulberry Cottage - just have to paint it all now! Then it's the soft furnishings. The lights have been connected - do you say "Awwwhhh!" too when you light up your house for the first time? - and then it's ready to be revealed. Also got a phone call from my local miniatures shop to say that the gardener I ordered for the market stall has arrived - yay!! - so will be picking him up tomorrow and no doubt having a good old rummage in the shop for any other little pickings. Other than that I've several miniatures to make for our swap group, namely some old-fashioned toys, something Easter related and my surprise swap to the group. I have a rough idea of what I'll be making so will be back with the details soon. Take care until then x

Fast Forward >>

While waiting on some bits and pieces I ordered for Mulberry Cottage I thought I would move onto my Plants & Flowers Market Stall. The building and decorating were completed about a year ago (as in the first photo) so this weekend I've been making plants and other gardening paraphenalia to stock the stall. Here's what I've managed so far...

I don't really like dolls in my scenes but in this instance I have relented and am waiting on the arrival of our gardener. I want to make more plants, trays of seedlings, etc. but after a disastrous attempt at making wooden crates I think I'll wait until the dolls house fair later this month and just buy what I need. Hope you enjoy this so far!
