So it looks like it’s been 2 weeks since my last update, sorry. Where does the time go? Frankly, I don’t know. I mean, I have made 4 quilt tops (and finished one completely including binding), sewn 90 triangle flags for a bunting (they are 6″ across, 9″ long and not quite finished yet) had […]

Dollhouse #2
By Caitlin Jane in dollhouseI started renovations today without really thinking about it but I like how it’s going. A trip to Home Depot inspired me, well, Martha Stewart paint chips inspired me. And the book was surprisingly exactly the right size. And I love how the sky light in the play room on the right side matches in […]

Ok, cute.
By Caitlin Jane in dollhouseMore dollhouse updates. I found the perfect family for the house today, at Toys ‘R’ Disposable. Olivia! I love Olivia! Mother is in the living room with baby William. New couch! Father is calling up to Mother, he’s on his way into the washroom. Ian is playing with toys in the bedroom. Olivia is showing […]

Exterior
By Caitlin Jane in dollhouseInterior wallpapering and flooring are pretty much done-other than the kitchen-so I got to work on the exterior. It’s not exactly as planned, I thought I was going to go with a white textured paper, like the kitchen floor, but I saw this paper and liked it much better. I picture this house out in […]

Renovations
By Caitlin Jane in dollhouseI’ve been inspired to get back to work on my dollhouse(s). I like how it’s coming along, I got some really cool paper at an art supply store and that’s certainly helped things move along. The bedroom is not finished but it’s more finished than any other room: The wallpaper is Japanese, the curtains are […]

Craft corner
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, dollhouseI have my very own little work space and I couldn’t be happier about that. There’s tons of storage (I even took over the old film refrigerator) and all my fabric, yarn, buttons, feathers, beads, spangles and whatnot is there and available. Today Rose helped me tweak my sewing machine and it seems to be […]

Foundlings
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, dollhouseIf the word on the street is that I am a total pack rat, word has it right. I really am. And the last year and a half I’ve been living without my stuff, my glorious, wonderful, life affirming stuff. Now we have room and I have all my stuff back and the joy I’ve […]

When I stay busy I forget…something…what were we talking about?
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grind, dollhouse, love, making stuff is goodGillian had posted an Etsy link in a comments thing about dollhouse miniature food and it’s so cute, I love it. Not that I have $35 for a teeny tiny cutting board with sandwich fixings on it-I wish. Anyway, I thought I’d post the miniature things I’ve been working on. Um. I made warm hats […]

Cozy and worm
By Caitlin Jane in dollhouse, making stuff is goodBecause I don’t really want to start major renovations on my dollhouse before we move to the big space, I’ve been making little things just to feel like I am making progress. I had a few balls of self-striping sock yarn laying around and I’ve started making them into afghans for the dollhouse. It’s hard […]

Progress, sort of
By Caitlin Jane in dollhouseI made some design decisions last night after perusing one of my favourite blogs*. One of the cheaper listings was so cute and so perfect, I will be decorating my dollhouse in a similar fashion. I like the simplicity of it all-it makes it so tidy and clean looking. I started working it out on […]
