APARTMENT WITCH PERMELIA - Kitchen Witch

in miniature!
Have you ever seen one
of these kitchen witch's.
They symbolize good luck!
Some of them
are so ugly that they are down right cute.

A witch named Permelia is moving in on
the bottom floor. She is
guardian to her 2 motherless nieces.
Their names are Narcissa & Sophronia.
Narcissa is sometimes called 'Cissa'. (Pronounce
Cissa like sis in sister).
Sophronia is sometimes called 'Frony'.
This little kitchen witch is going to hang down
from their ceiling.
I didn't have any pattern to go by so I
had to make up my own. Truthfully
I didn't think that she was even going to turn
out! I wanted the little witch to be 1" X 1".
But I was not able to make it that little.
She measures 2" X 2".

The broom measures (from the tip
of the handle to the end
of the purple floss) 3 inches. I used a
small piece of a stick that my hubby
retrieved from the backyard for the
broom. I wanted it as natural as it could
be. Initially, I wanted
her to look ugly but apparently I am not
good at ugly!
She needs to be uglier!

Perhaps later I will dry making
another witch and painting her green.
If I do, then I will make a
tutorial.

Her eyes and mouth are drawn on
with a blue ink pen.


Here's another angle. I think
the glue on her only adds character. It
makes her look like she has some cobwebs.


I wanted a crystal or something
to hang down from the tip of her hat.
However for now I omitted it because
I couldn't find in my small stash
anything that was small enough.
Her legs are
a pink stretchy fabric.
For her shoes, I just used a permanent magic marker.

Here is the underside of her.
She is glued onto the broom. I
hope that you like my mini
kitchen witch!
Soon I will show you the
empty apartment.

DOLLHOUSE - 'Ashley'

This dollhouse is called 'ASHLEY'.
Born 1994.
Bought as a kit from Hobby Lobby.
 

The kit when put together was painted the
same color as you see on the box.
The color is so cute and sweet!
 
I kept it for years and when we moved,
I initially gave this sweet cottage to my
Mother.
Upon her death - I received it back.
It was then that I gave it to my grand daughter
Brie.
It never looked its age.
 
 
This is how I decorated the inside
all those many years ago.
Wallpaper is on the first floor.
The top floor is not wallpaper - but CLOTH!
 
There was
something in that little alcove.
I don't remember what it was!
 
 
 
My grand daughter was too young
to receive this.
So anyway trouble brewed!
 
As you can see the railings at the
top of the stairs vanished into
thin air!!
No where to be seen.
The trash patrol took it to the
dump!!
The rest of the top floor,
the roof, windows, walls & floor
are still in very good shape.
That's a relief!
 


The first floor was hit the hardest
from a storm.

Hurricane Brie and her
friends wanted to see if Barbie
could fly thru the bay window!

Do you think she made it thru??
 
 

A top gable is missing!
Ump - it must have fell off
from a bolt of lightening!

One piece of a gable is broken
off.
What happened here?
Godzilla must have taken
a bite out of it!





The bad thing is - is that Ken
isn't even going to pay his part of
the damages.
He left it for the owner to fix.

Do you see where my finer is showing
you a large hole!




Perhaps wind damage!



 
The front got hit pretty hard
with something or someone!

I hope I can fix that post!!

 

Here is the front door window.

 
It used to be so pretty!
But I was told that,
'Ken tried to break into the house'.
Don't worry - he got arrested!!!
Apparently he thought that there
were some hidden jewels inside.
Where is his brain!

Perhaps, Ken thought that the
break-in would not be
noticeable.
What do you think?

I cannot fix that window!



 Another day, another project.
 
I do not know if the little house
is going to be the same once I
am finished with it. 

Looks like I have inherited the little
cottage back!
Time to re-vamp it!

Thanks for stopping by!
