Moving on from my Creative Block!



 

Firstly, can I say thank you for all the lovely messages here, on my FB pages and via email. Your support as always is wonderful and I am pleased to say that my creative block didn't last long!

 

Hywel decorated a little shop box for me in my favourite Christmas orientated colours and so I have been busy sewing some Christmas cushions and upholstering furniture to go in it. Yes, I know we have to have Halloween first, but the shop is already full of Halloween inspired miniatures (blog post to follow at the end of this week) so I needed to do something else and Christmas seemed to be calling!

 

Here is a little preview of some of the miniatures that will be available in our shop in Swansea Market  soon.

 

 

We are also pleased to announce that we are now agents for KJ Dolls Houses, builder of bespoke unique handcrafted Tudor houses and garden furniture. So why not call in and take a look at his garden furniture in store.

 

And my next project?....

Well, I enjoyed the Christmas room box, so now I feel a need to do a whole house filled with a Christmas theme :)

The Gower Tea Rooms ~ Part 2

 

Hello again from my blog.

Today, I am carrying on from part 1 of 'The Gower Tea Rooms'

which is a miniature Tea Rooms, based on the area where I live and the type of places that you would find here!

 

 

The 'Gower Tea Rooms' ~ Part 2

 

 

 

With the main building of the Gower Tea Rooms complete, it was time to go inside and plan the layout. Hywel makes his own rustic finish furniture and it seemed appropriate to have the Gower Tea Rooms filled with his own furniture. So he set about making a large double dresser to store the Tea Rooms crockery, whilst I found a little sink and laid the tile effect flooring. 

 

 

 

 

With all this done, I could set about filling the shelves with crockery....

 

 

 

bread and soup......



 



 

and of course cups of tea...

 

 

 

 

and that is the Tea Rooms finished!

It was a lovely little project to work on and now takes pride of place in our shop window.

 

 

 

My next project was 'Pipkins' Sweetshop and you can see this being added to our Face Book page this week (June 2013) Now I have to decide what to make next?? I really fancy making something for myself this time, though I think what ever I make, elements from it will spill over into our dolls house shop. Sooo, shall I make myself a little pink witch/ hat room box or shall I start on that very large house in the corner of my living room, which is waiting patiently to be turned into a grand wizard's building? I will put progress photos on this blog, so any preferences on which one out there?

 

In the meantime, I will leave you with a final peek in the Tea Room window...
