Miniature chandeliers

Because my camera is currently not co-operating with me properly I would like to show you some older photos of my chandeliers which are made by my Norwegian friend Torhild. 

I have had these for a while, but not until now I finally made the hard decision in which room I would permanently put them. I think Torhild is one of the best chandelier makers ever. I've tryed to make one or two by my self but the result has not been the same as she can make. She is very talented miniaturist and I've encouraged her to start her own blog so you could all have a chance to follow her projects.

This chandelier is placed to the library.

This one is at the master bedroom.

These are also at the master bedroom.

This very beautiful light pink chandelier is currently at the dining room.

New bedding for the baby cradle

I made earlier this autumn her a white cradle and a tiny toy gun. Gillian made for my cradle these lovely bedding. And she was so kind when she knitted some baby clothes and the cute bunny as a surprise too. 
Thank you so much Gill, I love our little swaps.

Cradel

I was inspired by this webpage where they represent finnish rural furnitures. This cradle was common in 17th and 18th century but the design was known in the midleage also. They used to carve the runner in the shape of fish tail as you can see. They also believed that the children sleeping in the cradle will be tall if the cradle rocks longitudinal.

New sofabed

This sofabed is for my friend Gillian. She was my christmas swap partner (You remember from Caterinas blog, right?) and we decided to have an another swap also. Gillian liked my rustic sofabed and since I'm not very good with fabrics (as you know) she kindly agreed to make the beddings for me. She is very talented quilt maker. I'll mail this for Gillian this week and I hope she likes it. 

The rabbit is from Wii game "Raimond the Raiving Rabbits". Do you know the game?

And the new sofabed with mattress

Yes, you know me when I get started I can't stop. I just had to make the mattress ready today.

Something new for my rustic collection

I've got a new toy as an early christmas gift from my husband and mother and guess what it is? It was a scroll saw. I love it because now I can make all kind of curls to my furnitures etc. This country style or rustic style sofa is my first piece of furniture I have made with the new toy. Ok, I'll have to admit that I had to make the upper peace 3 times before I got it right. The sofa is still missing a mattress, I was thinking of a blue striped or something like that. What do you think about the sofa?

A nice surprise

Today I recieved a very nice parcel from Lena. Lena sent me this Tilda quilt she showed us a few weeks ago, three lovely cushions, a nice basket filled with towels (this is perfect form my empty bathroom shelf), wonderful flowers in a vase, rose box and lovely pictures about gardening and roses. She also made this white bench which it is very beutifully made and goes well with almost anything. It will find its place maybe in hallway. I'm not very good at making flowers or working with fabrics so these miniatures are true treasures for me. I will found a perfect place for all of them in my dollhouse. Thank you so much Lena! I hope you like the parcel I sent for you too.
