As soon as I had made the fireplace for my 1/24 scale house I became dissatisfied with it. I could have kicked myself for forgetting to add the 'wood' at the right time. So I have been looking for a box of suitable size to form the basis for another fireplace - remembering to add the wooden mantel at the right time this time - so far this box has eluded me.
I busied myself making a chair from a Petite Properties kit and started on the geraniums from etsy. These geraniums are important.
All my life as a child there was a pot of geraniums ( red ones) on the window sill at my grandmothers - I still am transported back there every time I smell that geranium smell when I am potting up tubs at the back of my real house.
My little house as yet has no window sill - in fact the front of this house lifts off - but I intend to remedy that eventually.
This is the first time I have attempted a miniature flower kit - maybe 1/24 scale was not the way to go. I finished them but may tweak in the end. They are convincing enough from a distance.
The 'china' pot is a bit big - this will have to be tweaked!
I then got further distracted by deciding to slightly change the shade of pink in the kitchen of the Pink House. ( 1/12 scale) I used a Laura Ashley paint for this.
And then I came to a halt again.
You may have spotted some purchases but I'll get back to those.
