Category: Miniatures

I’ve been working on a calico critter cottage remodel for a little while now and today managed to get a lot of progress done. The outside is finally completed (minus the accents, I want to add some moss and dirt to the outside still) and today I added wallpaper to the main level, and started using cherry stained popsicle sticks to cover the floor. The second floor needs to be wallpapered still, but I did get the flooring completed there, too.

Once that is done it will be time to decorate! I don’t have a lot of furniture for this house yet, but I’ve been browsing the internet and saving scenes for inspiration. I don’t think the house will take any specific ‘theme’ per say, but I hope to add a lot of green, plants, books, and other items that are comforting to me, like including my fiber arts. Little projects like this keep me entertained and it’s nice to unplug and just step away from electronics for a bit. Hopefully over the winter I can get another big chunk completed.

My first miniature is coming along pretty well, I think. I spent some time painting this plastic desk to look a bit better, and then added a breakfast in progress, along with some tea, plants, and some scrolls tucked away. There’s a matching ‘wooden’ chair, and I think I want to crochet a little blanket to throw over the chair. Up next I’ll be working on putting wallpaper on the second floor, and starting work on the bed. Another hand crochet throw might be in the works, but it depends on what yarn / crochet thread I can find kicking around my stash.

Canada post is still on strike, and it’s looking like it might be a long one. Hopefully things are back up and running soon, so I can open my shop to people. In the meantime, I’ll keep adding stock and maybe branching into a few other items for sale.
