BIG FAT GREEK B-DAY GIFT!!!!! Part 1

Last week Sylvia came to visit me...she told me that

she made me a B-Day present and that she could

not wait till next month to give it to me.

The photo above shows the size of this gift, and I was

just amazed and had no idea of what it was????

This came out...1 BIG FAT GREEK HOUSE!

I was thrilled and just amazed...I huged Sylvia

and was just speechless....?????

Isn't it just a wonderful house!!! As most of you know the

last months I had no inspiration at all, but this house

changed a lot for me!!!

Lieve Sylvia, nogmaals heel erg bedankt, je bent een lieverd

en een schat, dikke kus en knuf van je vriendinnetje,xxx

I have some serious problems with posting, fingers crossed I

succeeded this time. I also wanted to let you know, that it is

no lack of interrest that I don't comment on all your beautiful

blogs, but I just can't leave a message and I have problems with

following new blogs????

Please go and have a look at the previous post to see what

I have done with the house...I had to do it in 2 parts.

BIG FAT GREEK HOUSE!!! Part 2

I could not wait to start and decorate the house.

This was the best cure to get my inspiration

back!!!

Most of the miniatures I have collected over

the past years and finaly I have the perfect

house to display them in.

The only new items I made for this house,

are the kitchen table, bed and stove. Many

of the miniatures were gifts from special friends.

Ofcourse Sylvia and Mercedes and the food

on the table was a gift from Anthoula, who

lives in Greece!!!

I will not name all the gifts, because I already

did in older posts....

Little progress in the bedroom!

I made some progress in the bedroom, it's

not much but still.

Long time no see!

Dear friends, I know it has been a while since I have post on my blog. Real life kept me busy

and I had no time or any inspiration to work on my miniatures. I have to do some catching up with your blogs too, and have to welcome all my new followers...so a BIG WELCOME to all of you. Some days ago, I forced myself to work on the French house...and I managed to make

some progress with the bedroom.

Soon I will post about it, but now I wanted to show you some wonderful gifts I received from

my lovely friends. The little square cushion at the pic above was a gift from my dearest friend Sylvia...she knows I like to have a lot of cushions, thank you Sylvia!

The pics below are all gifts from my friend Jollie from Greece...do not have to tell you that this

was a wonderful surprise and most of the items are allready in use! Thank you Jollie!

BEDANKT MEIDEN,BEN ERG BLIJ MET JULLIE EN JULLIE VRIENDSCHAP, XXXX

I'm a Winner!

WOW...O.M.G!!! was the first thing I shouted when I opened the package Casey, from http://caseymini.blogspot.com/ has sent me! A while ago she had this wonderful giveaway and I was one of the lucky winners. I could choose from a chair or a bassinet. Well, you can see what my choise was.......

The bassinet is truly a work of art, and so

cute!!!! Well, the secret is of course that Casey

had some help from a little (sometimes)sweet witch named Tessie.

This little lady makes Caseys live sometimes a bit difficult, but with

the bassinet she did a good job!

Did you noticed the little blue rabbit, sitting

in the bassinet....it is so tiny and cute!!!!

As if the bassinet wasn't already enough as

a gift, Casey had some more extras sent me.

A wonderful footstool with a beautiful blue

fabric, that is perfect for the bedroom in the

French house.

And this little basket...beleive me this photo

does not do justice to it.

For now I put the bassinet in the French house,

so I can see it the whole time. Eventually it

will move to an other project I have been working

on secretly.....one day I show it to you?????

Casey and of course Tessie, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Arnhem Fair 2011!

Bad cold or no cold...I went to the Arnhem Fair, with my dear friend Sylvia yesterday. The show was in the Eusebius Church and there were many miniatures showing their wonderful stuff. Though I like the setting of the curch...I like the show in the Rijnhal much more. I had a list with materials I needed to get some more work done on my house, like flooring and other stuff, but unfortunately for me I did not found it at the fair. There were many beautiful other miniatures I would have love to buy, if my budget would have allowed it!!!! Still I bought some stuff. Ribbon, little sea stars wallpaper, some plates, plant and glass items. The table is made by a miniaturist who lives in the same town like me. L.A. Little Artist, Huu Phuoc Nguyen...he makes amazing miniatures. www.la-littleartist.com The table was very cheap and I will change the color but I don't think I use it for the French house. On top of my list I had a glass and a tooth brush...the glass was commisioned for me at the show by Leo Reijnders. All the other glass items are also made by him. The little tooth brush I bought from Miniatur Puppenwelt Wengen. Every show visit, I have to buy something from them, because it is made in such perfection. I made promisse Sylvia that she would not bring any gifts for me.....Of course she did not listen and made me some gifts!!! Love every bit of it,XXX

There were some more gifts from Sylvia from

Lutjeboudel. She is such a darling and make the

most wonderful workshops.

Go and have a look: www.lutjeboudel.punt.nl

Thank you girls,XXXX!

I keep it short, beacause I am still not feeling

good...I am going back to my bed I think!
