What Happened!!!

Oh my goodness, what happened at Paddywhack Lane, was it a whirlwind?!!!

Yep, whirlwind Melissa. Some time ago my friend and doll aficionado, sent me a link to the Paddywhack Lane, Shabby Chic Make Over by the wonderfully talented and inspiring, Jessica over at Doll Project. Saddly I could not get the link to work, so the idea sort of stalled for a bit. Now my friend was not about to let it go so fast, and a little while latter the UPS man brought me a wonderful gift, my own little cottage! (Thanks again friend!)

Finally, I have begun collecting decorative elements and prepping the cottage for my make over plans. That heap of hardboard is actually the drawers and bed. (You can see the opened cottage here.) The drawers were a bit of a snug fit, and since I want to cover them with fabric, I have cut them down a smidgen. I think they will be easier to line with fabric this way too.

At the same time, I am also decorating Tika's flat, here's a glimpse of it. I've made a halfhearted attempt at collecting and making some little furnishings, but now it seems that inspiration (and energy) has finally kicked in! More to follow...

Best wishes and thanks for stopping by!

Tika's Tiny Sofa

My little doll Tika (aka Amelia Thimble) is decorating her new flat. After seeing the dismal looking and very expensive furniture available out there, I decided to try my hand at making my own. Tika is so tiny, only 4 inches tall, by making the sofa myself, I was able to make it just the right size! I am happy with how it turned out, but I can see plenty of room for improvement, what do you think?
