Beautiful Presents!

Hello Everyone! How are you?

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My

house was full. I always combine

Thanksgiving and Christmas together.

Our Christmas tree is put up in our

bay window again because it is the only

place to put it. The decorations are not

many this year. We are sticking to a color

theme. I will show pics on my remake blog.

I have been very busy. There is so much

to show you and I am running behind.

I try not to blog so much so that you

can find the giveaway.

 

I would like to thank all of the new followers

to my blog. I hope you enjoy it and do try some

of the tutorials.

 

DO NOT FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR THE

GIVEAWAY!  The 200 followers is approaching

fast!

 

This week I wanted to show you what the beautiful

ASCENSION sent to me!

I ordered a witchy teapot and she sent me all of these

very adorable things!

Among the items is a cute ghost cake, a pumpkin

teapot with cups. These precious cups have a slice of

lemon in them. Their detail is remarkable!!

More teapots - a witchy teapot, a santa man, and a 

beautiful teapot with grapes on the side.

The bowl with handle

is filled with treats. So darling! And best of all

she sent to me 2 cute candles in pumpkin

candlesticks. I have to admit it was after I took

these pics that I realized they were candlesticks!

Permelia has a special place for these in her apartment.

I love them all!

Thank you so much Ascension!!

I am sorry about the pics. They do not display her

talents to the fullest like I would like.

Why doesn't a camera last long - mine seems to

be going on the blink. My pics used to be clear

and now even with new batteries they are not.

Enjoy the pics!

Merry Christmas!

Many hugs, Conny



Cross-stitched Rugs

First I would like to thank all of you lovely

people for becoming my followers and taking

the time to stop by and say hello!

What do you do with a sweet lady

that does not do any miniatures but sends

you 2 sweet rugs that she cross stitched.

Catherine from Diamond C from:

Both of the little rugs are light and airy yet soft

to the touch.

 A close-up of the pink and blue heart rug. Just the right

colors of blue and pink.

 A close-up of this beauty! Blue flowers and lilac.

Both of these rugs are going into the Van Buren dollhouse.

She also sent me these composition books. They do

not have any paper on the inside and I like that.

This way I can add my own and title the little

journals! Maybe some diary's.

Thank you so much Catherine, for the beautiful

rugs and the journals! I love them.

Thanks for visiting me!

Mother's Day Gifts

I WELCOME ALL OF THE NEW

FOLLOWERS. I HOPE THAT YOU

ENJOY THIS BLOG. AND I SURELY

DO HOPE THAT YOU HAVE LEFT

A COMMENT FOR THE GIVEAWAY!!

Sorry that I am late in posting. I

have been really busy.

This is the last of my Mother's Day

gifts. My hubby bought me the little

Raggedy Ann and Andy. They are so

cute and tiny. Raggedy Ann even has a small

heart on her pinafore! Every little girl needs

a doll. They are from Pamela Junks

Etsy store. Click here to see the other dolls she carries.

Pamela's dolls are poseable. And right

now she is giving a little house kit with

each doll. Those parts are so tiny. When

my eyes heal I plan on glueing them together.

 These cute items were given to me by Pep. They come

from this etsy. So be sure to click here to see

the pretty things that she carries. I love her plates!

The aprons are lined. I guess the little pink suitcase is

true to scale. But for me it is a little too small. I would

have preferred that one to be a little bigger.

As you can see, I am trying to collect some little

dolls. This little dolls name is Hayley.

I hope that you enjoy looking at the mini's. I sure

am enjoying holding them and trying to decide

where to put them.

A Thoughtful Gift

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO WELCOME EACH

AND EVERY ONE OF MY NEW FOLLOWERS

TO MY BLOG. IF YOU HAVE NOT OR DO NOT

KNOW THAT THERE IS A GIVEAWAY GOING

ON - WELL IT IS STILL ON - SO FIND THE

WICKER SET AND LEAVE A COMMENT.

Catherine over at

 http://diamondc-diamondc.blogspot.com/

is such a thoughtful lady. She

sent to me a gift of miniatures.

 Small pots and big pots. Maybe now I can dig in the

dirt without my allergies killing me. Lol's.

 The cross stitched Hen with the green apron on is

just adorable. I definitely have to put these barnyard

critters in a little scene with some toile. I am thinking

about taking the tall roosters and making them to

imitate door stoppers. The kitchens do need some

foods. The little sewing machine broke. Kind of 

makes me sad. Many times

we have glued it and it still comes apart. So I think

that I am going to cut it away from the base and make

a carrying lid for it. That will look so cute.

A little dummy that is all ready to be used.

 The little blue doll is so cute. I might add some

lace to her dress. I like her. I am not sure how old

she is, so I will ask Catherine before I redot

her eye. She is one of my favorites.

 I had been looking for some thin gloves for a

long time and was not able to find any. Catherine

sent me a brown pair. Inside they are lined with

some pretty fuzzy cream material. I will have to

be sparing with that fabric. Love that chocolate

brown.

 Catherine had been wanting to make me some bed

blankets that looked crocheted and knitted. She took

2 of her sweaters and cut me out doll blankets. A

white one with 2 designs built in and a cream one that

feels so delicate. Every bed needs a blanket under the

comforter!

Look Catherine - you did cut and hem it to the

correct size. See how good they look on Permelia's

bed. They drape nice. Catherine also sent me some

little spools, clothespins and a cat sitting in a

basket. He is removeable. Also 3 little resin pillows

wrapped up by a ribbon. So darling.

 My favorite are the 3 little flocked dogs. The cute little white

bishon is adorable. I am not sure what the names of

the other dogs are but they are certainly just as cute.

The little tea set is just a little bit big but I am hoping

that I can incorporate them somehow into a mini room.

 The sweaters look so nice on the beds. Of course

they will not stay on the witch's beds. But they will

be used. This is a great idea of using your sweaters

- into bed linens.

This one is the cream blanket.

 This is the white blanket.

Thank you so much Catherine. I like it all.

Born Abroad

Marlene of Somerset House of

http://somersethouseaproject.blogspot.com/ 

sent me a goody package. I am happy to be

the recipient of 2 of her cross stitched rugs - the 

tiger and the green one in the middle. I know

exactly which apartments are going to get them.

I never learned how to crochet but I love those

items. The blue and green crocheted blanket is

adorable. If I just fold it in half one of my

little dolls can have a shawl.

The christmassy apron is so cute. It has

hearts, a snowman and a gingerbread man on it.

The little white cotton doily will make a nice addition

to my sewing apartment. I will place it under the

cutting table to make that area bright on the wood

floor. When I went to the camper I took the 2

magazines with me. There are some nice things

in those magazines. Can you see the package that is

between the magazine and the cross stitch pattern.

That paper is instructions for inkjet fabric sheets.

With my trusty magnifier glass I read the directions 

while at the camper.

Inside of the plastic are 3 fabric sheets.

In a couple of days I plan to check this out.

I do plan on cross stitching the rug pattern as

soon as my eyes heal enough for me to be

able to see the holes in the aida cloth.

All of these items were in a little black compartmented

box. Some of this was wrapped up in tissue paper.

 The white tablecloth is so soft. I do not know yet

where I will put it. The cameo's will make nice

needleminders. There are 2 toys for Elizabeth's

children Ally and Allison. They will love them.

The jewelry pieces are really nice. They just might

get a makeover and go into a shabby chic room

that I am thinking of making. Marlene made me

one of her pipe cleaner dogs. I had never seen one

of them before but it is so sweet.

The silk hat was a surprise. It is so lovely.

Thank you very much Marlene.

I do like your package and I am glad to know that

you like mine.

Thank you for visiting me.

Many hugs and kisses sent to everyone,

conny
