Miniature hat and handbag

I've been practising making miniature hats and handbags. Lots of trial and error still, but I'm making progress and having loads of fun!

Blue felt hat and handbag.
Not happy with the rim, but I've figured out a way to avoid that in future.

Black, white and grey hat and handbag
I quite like this one. Looks perfect for a day at the race course, don't you think?

Miniature Hat

At our last doll house club meeting, we made these hats. I think mine turned out quite all right for a first attempt. I found it very relaxing to make and had so much fun, I definitely will be making more. Judging by the colours, you might guess I plan on using it for my Shabby Chic house!

Refurbished vintage dollhouse furniture

Remember the set of vintage furniture I showed you weeks ago, hoping to find more information about it? Well, I didn't! Which just confirmed what I suspected - it was probably home made. So, I set about trying to refurbish it. I started with the chairs. Not an easy task I can tell you. The wood is very old and soft and started deteriorating in front of my eyes as I was sanding it. In the end I had to leave some of the paint as is, in order to prevent too much damaged to the chairs. It's far from perfect, but then again, getting it perfect was never my intention, as it is vintage furniture after all!

This is what they used to look like:






I have to say, I LOVE how it turned out! This is exactly what I had in mind when I purchased it and I'm thrilled to bits. I wanted them for the veranda of my GeeBee house and they're going to fit perfectly!  I still have to make little cushions for them, will show you whenever that is done.

This is what they look like now:
