I see them and I like them. I used to take colorful yarn and #10 cotton and make rugs for doll houses.

I never thought about having seasonal doll houses! What a cute hobby.

I used to make them to practice patterns and stitches. I've never had a doll house though.

Dodge, I will be very happy to send her these!
I have had them a long time and always wanted to share them!

If barb says Kratz is oool to share with - I am happy to share. Maybe I will get see them is a festive picture.

I have book I got from Warmart. It is supposed to make a blanket of squares with 60 or so different stitches. No two squares are alike. I learned most of what I know from it. And much from playing with the miniatures.

I have no clue which stitch any of these are now Duh
Posted By: dodge Re: All Decked Out For Winter - February 18th, 2007 at 07:43 PM
Kratz,,

Jane is going to send you some rugs.

Is that ok?

She will need your addy..

PS......i gave her a hint.

Hi Ladies,

I Love taking photos of the dollhouse decorated and I love adding things that are Handmade....It adds sentimental value to my things.....I'm never sure if I should post photos as I don't want to bore people with my other hobby....lol
Thanks Dodge....for looking out for me.....

Gonetothebirds I would love to have the rugs....could I pay you for them or at least give you seed money....lol

I am always looking for anyone to make me things for the dollhouse. It is a 1" scale Victorian by Dura Craft....I would love to have table clothes and all that, but I don't know how to crochet......

I know how to decorate a dollhouse though....

This would be my dining room table... [Linked Image]

How much would you be charging for the beautiful designer rugs..........
Posted By: Anonymous Re: All Decked Out For Winter - February 19th, 2007 at 02:51 AM
Barb and Kratz,
I found them!!!

I was worried we were talking about rugs that I couldn't find.

Now, that they are in hand. Kratz, I don't sell things. (I just stay broke laugh laugh ) I will be happy to send share these with you. I made them in 1997-98. So, I don't think they'll be more.

It can't cost a buck to mail them.

I might play with the idea of making miniature doilies. That would take tiny cotton, almost thread, and I don't think I'm up for it. But, it's interesting.

What scale is right. Not too tiny. Think doily and table runner or coffee table and end table set -- what size?

Lynne is the one who is talented with tiny things. (at least her) I bet wrennie can too!

Kratz PM me and we'll get the address stuff rolling. -- Hey and you never know I might just need some seeds grinnnn

And don't forget to thank dodge. She PM'd, she's smart ... because I can't track thread for doodly lala lala
Posted By: Kratz7 Re: All Decked Out For Winter - February 19th, 2007 at 01:59 PM
Hi there ladies,

I would love to have a mini rug....I'll pm you with my snail mail address.......as soon as I figure out how to find you.... smile What type of seeds would you like in return?

I have also made a mini comforter for the green bedroom.....
[Linked Image]

The blue and white blanket was also hand made...I bought it a craft show.....I have a mini mind that never stops.......lol

Have you ever made mini blankets or throws (afghans)?

I even made the curtains from lace and thin dowel...with a bead at each end to hang it from the wall......
Posted By: weezie13 Re: All Decked Out For Winter - February 19th, 2007 at 03:37 PM
Have you ever put any pulled apart cotton balls' or batting on the outside of the house, for like the look of snow??

Those are still very cool pic's of the inside.. cool thumbup
Posted By: plants 'n pots Re: All Decked Out For Winter - February 19th, 2007 at 04:08 PM
Kratz - I just love seeing pictures of your dollhouse - I especially enjoy seeing how your change it around for the seasons and holidays!!! Please keep posting pictures of anything and everything about it that you'd like to share!

Jane - you give me far too much credit!
I've just been making some of those small animals to try and keep my sanity this winter. Stuff is going on here, and I need an outlet. BUT... I could never ever do anything so tiny and intricate as a doily or rug for a dollhouse. My hands are not what they used to be - especially since I sprained my right thumb about 5 years ago - it still gives me much pain and cramping.

I think Merme is the one who does such beautiful teensy work - she has posted her crochet work here before you both joined us. Maybe one of the hostesses can bring that thread back up from the archives?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: All Decked Out For Winter - February 19th, 2007 at 05:10 PM
Sorry Lynne,
What a drag -- you sprained a thumb! That has to really be lousy. It's like I say they don't say "there's nothing worse than a sore thumb" for nothing!

I officially promise not to give you too much credit ever again thumbup )

I will be decorating for Spring very soon....I have been looking foe all types of scrapbooking stuff as this is the perfect size for the dollhouse....I love all of the tiny things you can buy or better yet make.... [Linked Image]

I would love to make all of my own minis.....but I would need lots of help.......

[Linked Image]

This little robe was to be used for scrapbooking but I think it works better in the dollhouse....besides it would make the pages huge....lol

[Linked Image] I just adore this snowman and company....

I sure wished someone else would get into building a dollhouse....I would like to build a 1/144th scale....that would be very detailed though

How about some tea time with Teddy? lol

Have a great day everyone......

P.S. Did you get my PM gonetothebirds

Charlotte,
I love your stuff. I can't afford another hobby I feed the backyard birds... I can spend and spend and spend.

I love bargains though! It is beyond cool to think you can wallpaper with scrapbook paper!

I implemented my daughter's custom (from hell) wedding invitations and all the paper came from the scrapbooking section (on sale I might add).

Big lots... Big lots... Big Lots -- they get in a lot of scrapbooking odds and ends now.. Not racks of paper, but the little goofy stuff. Borders... Wow, image the border you can do in your dollhouse for pennies now!

I am still having trouble imaging the size. In the first picture how big is the window, the lovely sofa and the bear? Or any of them?
Can someone tell me how to get to your PM list - I never tried to find them and now I find i can't Duh

It looks bigger than a regular doll house to me??

I'll need to do the cottonball idea for snow next year....I also found ribbon storage boxes that store my decorations in.......

I love the tiny things you can buy to decorate with....I even have tiny silverware..... [Linked Image] I would love to have doilies, or placemats on the dining room table

I actually had plexiglass doors biult for the house to keep out the dust...my tiny maid just retired and I haven't found a replacement yet.... so nobody has been doing tiny chores......lol [Linked Image]

Can you imagine the rooms you can design do now the scrapbooking is the rage!!! Waverly rooms for a couple bucks!!!

They had this Harley Davidson paper... could you see a miniature Harley room... wouldn't that be a hoot. Little mini harley clock and a dumb boy and his Fat Boy ... You could... no stop!!!

to start out with/on....
Posted By: Kratz7 Re: All Decked Out For Winter - February 26th, 2007 at 12:38 PM
Hi ladies,

That dollhouse looks pretty cute and it could certainly be done up cute.....You could add things to it to make it your own. And since you can crochet you could do all kinds of things with it. I would love to do fancy little table coverings etc....and the price seems reasonable enough.... If I didn't already have a dollhouse I would go for it.....
Were you planning on lighting for yout little world? There's a company that carries all the electrical stuff it's called Cir-Kit....they have the wiring,lights and the outlets among other things.

Hobby builders supply carries anything and everything including dollhouses...

http://www.miniatures.com/hbs/global/index2.asp

this would also help get you started...I have ordered from them and they do have nice quality stuff....

Do you have an AC Moore nearby?, they also have dollhouse things.....including dollhouses....keep us posted on what you decide..... smile

You can also use scrapbooking decorations and things to decorate it......So many things to choose from.....
[Linked Image] I had plexiglass doors built on mine to keep the dust down inside as my mini housekeeper is on vacation.... [Linked Image] I eventually want to set the dollhouse up on a platform and add all the landscapingand gardens there too.....I need to find tiny flowers.........hmmmmmm....that should be fun.......

P.S. gonetothebirds....I tried to pm you....but the pm thing on your end is blocked.....bummer....lol

I hope everyone has a great day

Barb is catching the bug. I love that house as the first doll house. The possibilities are infinite -- think about picking wallpapers from all shelves of scrap book paper at Michaels! I would like that part.

I just don't have room in my tiny house for a mini house. So, the temptation is more resistable. I am always trying to free space... not fill it!

Correct........I am not a fancy person, but do love Lace and Victorian things..
Just another hobby, and I will check out more stores for the parts inside.. I prefer the dark colored furniture.......
I just bought 2 new recliners for my Real house an one is Buckwheat an the Other is Ivory with brown added.
My circular long couch is more of a caramel color.

HeyDodge,You could use that dollhouse as a "jumping off point" and then that will get you into the "mini-mindset" more (lol)and you will be looking at everything in a different scale.....(oops, as I sit and giggle about getting someone else involved in my mini world)

They have a few different scales in the dollhouse world , mine is a 1" scale they also have larger and smaller scales. I think 1" is the most available to shop for..... You can also print wallpaper and things off the internet....just use card stock and a realy good printer. I have wallpaper in this house that came from the net .....see.... [Linked Image] it's the border included....I used double sided scotch tape....it has been in there a few years already and it will be my template when I repaper the dollhouse....no muss, no fuss..... [Linked Image]

You can also collect little people when out and about shopping....lol

[Linked Image] ok....I better go........


kratz7

P.S. Congratulations Dodge......When will you be getting your dollhouse? Are you going to do some crocheting for you dollhouse? mini blankets would be cool.......you could always paint the furniture, likw weezie said........keep us posted......

First things first.....congratulations on you dollhouse I hope you have alot of fun with your new project....Keep us posted on the progres.
Secondly, your smallies are really cute, you will have a blast crocheting little things for the house. you could make little rugs for it like Jane's they look real cute in the house. Or you could do doilies and dable runner for the diningroom table, end table doilies etc.....

Is your dollhouse a 1" scale? they are pretty easy to find furniture and decorations for it. If you have a dollhouse shop in your area I think you will find alot of cool things there.....you are on your way with all the furniture and things you already bought......check it out and have fun...if you need help with anything certainly let me know maybe I can help....... smile

Hi everyone,

You don't need to spend a fortune to have fun....there are all types of things you can do....and use that are generally inexpensive. I bought alot of the things over many years certainly not all at once. eek You can pick up things at the dollar stores,craft shows,I also pick up things at yard sales and wherever I see something I think may fit....I have a very fancy gas grill I paid a buck for....only thing is it has a clock in it.....lol [Linked Image]
You could also go to your local decorating stores that have wallpaper sample books,they will usually give them to you free of charge.Ask for the smallest prints.....as they will fit the scale of a 1" scale dollhouse.
I have made alot of little tiny fuzzy blankets...where I just cut and folded, then put in the closet.
[Linked Image]

I bought 1/4 yards of fabric to make a tiny quilt but never got around to it....lol... story of my life... you can find mini ideas and things just about anywhere. Bottom line it doesn't have to be expensive, I skimped where I could and went for it where I needed to.....

We don't have children so that makes a differance too. We would have loved to have 2 children at least, but it wasn't in our cards......bummer...but we're okay

I have also printed tiny canned good labels off the net and fastened them to a dow rod then cut them with a mini saw to make my own products.


I have even bought little things at craft shows too. There is an aweful lot of things free to print on the net. I even used mini foam sheets like felt..and felt for flooring instead of the "dollhouse Flooring"lol.. that will cost a fortune, so it depends on how thrifty you can be.... the thin foamy stuff you can buy at walmart..... [Linked Image]

You could crochet all of your own little blankets and things.... I would love to have mini sheets and thermals....lol

Here's a link to my photobucket page of the dollhouse... http://s103.photobucket.com/albums/m148/Charlie7_01/My%20Cambridge%20Dollhouse%20by%20Dura%20Craft/

Ultimately.....have fun...... thumbup

Kratz,

This is so cute..
I have a new granddaughter, and One married son.
This is first time a tiny little girl stepped into my house..I mean I lived with boys till now .
SO we get the biggest kick out of Haley..
I did loose one child..Miscarriage.. And my son and his wife lost the first child also.. That is why this is so special to us......
Sorry of yours....Guess it was meant to be.. However I am having fun ..Now I must check Weeezies furniture.

Oh I bought some thinner thread today.. Maybe I can make something you can use.. I will show you later.

Thanks for all the fun.. Hope someone else joins us .

Hi everyone,

The furniture and dollhouses JoAnn has on sale looks very nice. I wish they had that stuff in their stores..... like they do on the net....as I don't shop online too much. I like concrete and mortar stores typically....lol
But I'll go back to the link and do a little more looking as I'm always in the mood for a good bargain....
Maybe weezie will get interested....lol
Soon it will be Spring and I will be out in the flowerbeds.....dollhouse is a Winter project.
But I will be decorating for Easter....I'll post a few pics this weekend...when I get it done.....I'm looking for Spring anyways......lol so that will get me in the mood....

Have a great day,

kratz7

You know, I get the biggest kick outta this post..

~~>when I was a little kid, I had a play set, it was a board, with four legs you pushed over the board, (so it was up in the air) and you put this plastic house together (but it had no top)
and you had people/family and they had magnets on the bottom of them and you also had a stick
you'd take and put under the board, and the magnets would match up and you could move the people around the board~house and I had soooo much fun and was in a world of my own in there..

But now, I have sooooooo many pokers' in the fire so to speak... I just couldn't take on one more..

But I do live vicariously thru these posts/pictures and love to take peaks into
that mini~world!!! cool thumbup
Posted By: Kratz7 Re: All Decked Out For Winter - March 1st, 2007 at 10:14 PM
So would you like to see more photos? lol I have plenty,I will gladly post if you would like....

I would love to take photos of it "outside" sometime, but I would need to do alot of convincing with the hubby....lol...he would think (know) I was crazy. I think that would be very cool and to maybe find some small plants and have it sit in a flowerbed....temporarily that would be a photo session.....lol
What a dream laugh shocked laugh
I could build a patio and have that be the foundation...lol and the flowers be the landscape...I could dream of ideas all day..... wavey

Have to send this forum to her , she cant find it .
Just put them on ..We care.
