Lidt små projektor / A few projects

Fiskespillet er fundet på websiden Minidesign.

Jeg har printet det ud på karton og derefter klippet og klisteret.

I found the fishgame on the webpage Minidesign.

It is printet on a piece of cardboard and the cut and glued.

Jeg har ville lave lavendeler i rigtig lang tid. Nu har jeg endelig fundet et materiale jeg kan bruge til blomsterne. Så her er de allerede sat ud i min mini-have.

I have been wanted to make lavenders for years and finally I found a material who could give me the right colour. So here they are already place in my mini-garden.

En gave / A gift

For et par uger siden fik jeg denne dejlige gave fra min mor. Det er en måge lavet ud af Fimo eller Cernit. Den er fantastisk og måtte straks flytte ind i min dejlige mini-have.

A few weeks ago I got this beautiful gift from my mom. It is a seagull made out of Fimo/Cernit. It is absolutely beautifull and I had to move it into my garden at once. 

Min datters kreation / Made by my daughter

Det er et stykke tid siden min datter, Amalie, og jeg satte os ned for at lave denne lille kikkasse til hendes mormor. Vi fandt en gammel skotøjsæske, kiggede mine små ting igennem og satte os ned en hel søndag.
Lillebror var på ferie, så vi havde hele dagen for os selv. Behøver jeg at skrive at hun nød det lige så meget som jeg. :-)
It is a while ago my daughter, Amalie, and I made this little box for her grandmother. We found an old shoebox, looked through all of my "little stuff" and used the day just for this little project.
Need I write that she enjoyed the day just as much as I. :-) The only times she really lost her patience was between drying but I have to admit ... I hate the drying time.

Båndruller / Items for laces

En hattebutik har selvfølgelig bånd i forskellige farver og typer. Så her er de.

Jeg har ikke kunne finde en guide på nettet så jeg har måtte forsøge mig lidt frem. Det sværeste, ud over ikke at lime mig selv fast til sofaen, var at finde noget på nettet jeg kunne bruge som top og bund på rullerne. Ved ikke hvad de hedder og det gjorde måske heller ikke søgningen bedre. :-)

Dem jeg har brugt her er nogle min mor har kunne skaffe mig gennem hendes miniklub.

Så hvis du har et link, en beskrivelse eller en guide til hvordan jeg finder nogle printables på dem så skriv endelig en kommentar.

Ofcourse my milinium shop needed laces in different kind of colours and shape.

I couldn't find a guide on the internet and therefore I needed to use the old trial and error. The hardest part was to find the printables used for the top. I tried looking with google but as I do not know the name of the thing it makes it so much more hard to find. :-)

The ones I have used here for top and bottem are some my mum got through her miniclub. But I hoped I could find some to make the look more various.

So do you know a link, a tutorial or where to find the printables please write me a comment course I still need a few to make the collection complete.

Thank you

Postkasse / Mailbox

Så blev det tid til lidt mere miniature. Denne gang en postkasse til "la petite". Postkassen er lavet ud af pap og med rub-ons bogstaver. Jeg var så heldig at have nogle der passede i størrelsen i alle mine scrapsager. Avisen er en printable fra nettet, som blot er limet fast. Postkassen kommer til at sidde på sidden af indgangspartiet over blomsterkrukken.

Now finally I got some time for a bit more miniature. This time I have made a mailbox for "la petite". The mailbox is made out of cardboardbox and the letters are some rub-ons I had in all my scrapping stuff. The newspaper is made out of a printable from the internet. The mailbox will be placed at the side next to the door above the flowers.

Sommeren har nu altså ikke været for god i Danmark indtil nu. Så jeg besluttede mig for at åbne et corset-kit jeg har haft liggende siden den sidste Farum-miniature-messe og kaste mig ud i forsøget om at lave et corset.

Godt jeg gjorde. Det var utrolig nemt og jeg fik helt lyst til at lave flere.

Så her et billed af min lille produktion. :-)

The summer in Denmark has not been to good until now. Therefore I decided to open a corset-kit I have had waiting since last Farum-miniature-exhibition and give it a go. I am glad I did. It was so much fun and so easy to follow the instructions and I wantede to try with some more.

These are what I have been making so far.



Som I ved gør øvelse mester og de sidste 3 jeg har lavet er nu mine ynglings. Jeg har ikke helt fået timeglas formen frem på de fleste, men jeg tror jeg retter lidt i kladdeformen, så den bliver lidt mere markant næste gang.
As you all now practice makes a master and the last 3 I made are my absolute favorite. I have not quite got the shape right on two of them. But I think I will correct a bit in my draft and hopefully it will be more the right shape for the next ones.

Jeg har også lavet disse to. Det er gjort med lidt god gammeldags decopage og lidt tålmodighed.
I also got to make these two ( Cant remember the name of them ) They are made with good old fashion decopage. You know paper and glue and a little bit of patience.

Hav en fortsat god sommer

Until next time have a great summer



slotfacade / front of castle

Det er nu ikke fordi vejret er særlig godt i Danmark i øjeblikket. Men jeg har da fundet en enkel dag med sollys og fik malet fronten på slottet.
Om det bliver malet eller får mursten ved jeg ikke helt endnu. Nogle forslag ?

The weather in Denmark is not to good at the moment. The month says summer but the weather says rain. But I found one day for which I could paint. This is the front of the castle at the moment.
Bricks or paint I don't know ... any suggestions ?

vasketøjskurv / laundrybasket

Den lille sidste nye kreation.
The latest little creation.

Saft-si / juicy

Da jeg var ved at rydde op i nogle gamle engelske dukkehusblade faldt jeg over et billed med en gammel kone i hendes køkken. Hun var faldet i søvn og hendes jordbærsaft var løbet ud over kanten.

Jeg måtte bare have den saftpresser så jeg søgte google, men da jeg ikke aner hvad sådan en dims hedder på engelsk var jeg lidt på bar bund. Så må fantasien jo igang. :-)

Den ligner egentlig meget godt den jeg så på billedet, men helt ærligt så tror jeg man skal vide hvad det er for at se det ...

Så her er min jordbærsaftsi. Man hælder sin jordbærsnask i stoffet og lader langsomt saften løbe ned i en skål. Resten af sten, blade og andet snask bliver i stoffet.

Meningen var at min saft ikke skulle flyde ud over, men da jeg kun har leget med resin et par gange skete der alligevel et lille uheld. Måske jeg skulle sætte en gammel dame ved siden af som var faldet i søvn. :-)

As I was looking through some old dollhouse magazine I saw a picture of an old women in her kitchen. She was a sleep and the strawberry juice was running over the edges of her bowl.

I just had to make one of those juice-things myself. So I went to search on google. Unfortunately I have no idea what the name in English might be so I was a bit lost. I just had to use my imagination.

My juicy-thing looks like the one I saw on the picture but to honest  I think one should now what it is before being able to see it :-)

So let me present to you my strawberry-juice-thing... You pour the strawberryjuice into the canvas and let the juice slowly run through the fabric. In the bowl you have the juice and in the left in the canvas is leafs, stones and other stuff you do not want in the juice.

My intention was that the juice should not run over but as I have only played with resin a few times - my juice ran over. Maybe I should place an old sleeping women next to it. Just as the picture I saw :-)



Tiden flyver / Time flies

Hi all

Endelig tid til lidt blogging. Tiden flyver bare afsted herhjemme. SMIL
Now finally bloggen again. I wonder where the time went. SMILE.

Jeg skal bare vise jer denne smukke seng. Min mor har lavet den til mig og den er helt vidunderlig. Jeg kan ikke vente med at male og dekorere den. Problemet er bare at jeg er bange for at ødelægge den så den ikke bliver som jeg har ønsket.
I have to show you this bed.
My mom made it for me and it is absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to get it painted and decorated. I am just so afraid of messing it up.

For et par weekender siden var min mor og jeg til Farum miniature messe, hvor jeg købte denne helt fantastiske barnevogn. ( Orden barnevogn vil sende dig til Sylvia Beukers web-side, hvor barnevognen kan ses) Den er købt som et kit, så nu skal jeg bare igang med at bygge. Som om det vil ske i den nærmeste fremtid. SMIL
Sylvia laver utrolig mange og fantastisk flotte kit og jeg ville ønske at jeg havde købt lidt flere. Jeg håber bare at hun har mod på at komme til næste år. Jeg har allerede en hel ønskeliste. SMIL
Fik jeg sagt, at jeg købte to. Min mor skulle selvfølgelig have en på Mors dag.

A few weekends ago my mom and me went to the Farum Miniature Fair and I bourght this fabulous little pram. (The word "pram" will lead you to the Brocante pram from Sylvia Beuker). It is bourgt as a kit so now I only need time to make it. HA as if this will happen in the near future...
Sylvia makes a lot of beautiful kits and I only wish I didn't buy more of them. Hopefully she will take the trip next year. If not I will have to order online - I already have a wish list. SMILE
Did I say that I bourgt two prams. The other one was for my mom for Mothers Day.

Vintage fuglebur / Vintage birdcage

Så fik jeg lidt blade på fugleburet.
Jeg havde lidt efu liggende fra tidligere, så jeg nogle og de fik så lidt guldmaling. Stænglen er lavet af en blomsterdekorationstråd, også masser af tålmodighed og lidt lim.
Now finally the leafs for the birdcage are finished.
I had some leafs from erlier project. So I found these and paintet them with a bit of goldpaint. The flowerstalk ( hope that is the name for it) is the metal thread you use for flower decoration. Finally lots of patience and a bit of glue.

Jeg har tænkt mig at buret skal hænge i vinduet til "la petite", så den lille fugl kan følge med i livet ude på gaden, og selvfølgelig hænger den i en lille krog så butiksejeren kan tage den med hjem efter en lang dag.
The birdcage is going to hang in the window at "la petite". This way the little bird is able to follow the life out on the streets. The cage is hanging on a little hook so the lady of the shop is able to take it with her home after a long day at work.

Billedet er sammensat af en ramme og et relief beregnet til scrapbooking. Rammen har fået lidt guldmaling og kvinden er blevet børstet over med lidt distress farve fra Tim Holz.
Jeg har endnu et kvinderelief, men desværre ikke flere rammer.
De skal begge ind på bagvæggen af butikken, så der kan komme lidt liv på væggene.
The picture of the lady is put together by a frame and a relief used for scrapbooking. I painted the frame with a bit of gold and the women received some dimension by brushing it with some distress colour from Tim Holz.
I have another relief of a women but unfortunately not more frames.
Both pictures will be hanging at the back of the shop. Hopefully this will bring a bit of life to the back end.

Fuglebur / Birdcage

Så kom tiden hvor jeg igen har en lille ting at vise. SMIL

Now I finally have something to show again. SMILE

Jeg købte for et stykke tid siden et billigt fuglebur til 20 DKK i en scrapbutik. Det er nogle gange de mærkeligste steder man finder små mini-ting. Buret var i guld og egentlig meget pænt som det var. Men jeg besluttede mig lige at lave et lille personligt præg på det, så det blev malet.

Jeg har også tænkt mig at dekorere det med lidt blade i guld eller.... Det billed må desværre vente lidt, da bladene endnu ikke er færdige.

A while back I bourgt a cheap birdcage for 20 DKK - approximately 2.50 EUR in a scrapstore. Sometimes it is strange places one finds miniature. The cage was in gold and really nice as it was. But I decided to give it a personal touch so I painted it. I have also thourght of decorating it with some leaves in gold or ...... But that picture has to wait as the leaves are not yet finished.

Sent julepynt / Late Christmas ornament

Indrømmet det er måske lidt sent eller meget tidligt at jeg viser disse julekugler, men nu er blev de færdige også skal de selvfølgelig med på bloggen.
I admit it. The pictures might be a little to late or much to soon. Well I finally got to finish the Christmas ornament I started before Christmas :-) Now they are done and ready do show on the blog.

Vi har ligget syg på skrift herhjemme og igår var det altså min tur til at passe vores datter hjemme. Så Amalie og jeg besluttede os for at lave vores første cup cakes. Vi lavede 15 stk og nu er der 2 stk. tilbage, så mere syg var hun nu heller ikke.

We have all taken turn to be ill in our house and yesterday it was my turn to stay home with our daughter. Amalie and I then decided to try a go with our first cup cakes and it ended up quite good. We made 15 pcs. and now there are only 2 pcs. left. So she was not more ill than she was able to eat cupcakes.
