New resident...
A bit busy this week, but I did manage to finish a new resident for the dollhouse! It's a big sister bunny, including a lovely set of underwear... photos coming soon! Read more...
365 days project
Should I do it, or shouldn't I? I've been thinking for a while about participating in the 365-day project. This involves coming up with something to do and then doing it every day of the year. For me, this would be the motivation to actually make things. I make things occasionally, but I'd like to do it much more often. It gives me a certain satisfaction and joy. Right now, it often gets stuck at the "thinking about it," and the actual execution usually takes a back seat. I have... Read more...
New additions to the dollhouse
Fun, fun, fun! I bought a few authentic Maileg items for the (still to be made?) large dollhouse and made a few things myself. So now they can happily eat without getting messy, the My bunny has a sleeping bag, and there's a blanket in the carrycot. The girl can also (with a little help from her mom) change her own diaper now. Time to start building the dollhouse, Pake! Read more...
Mini wigwam
I came across this mini wigwam for the Maileg bunnies on Pinterest on this blog : I think it's so cute and adorable! A while back, I found a fabric on the Stoffenkraam website that's pretty similar to the one in the photo. It had been waiting for a while, but first I had to finish some other things. It was supposed to be a Christmas present, but unfortunately, that didn't quite work out. This is the final result. Read more...
urge to tidy up
Yes...these kinds of photos always make me so happy and bring up a big wish: I want that too! Unfortunately...it's not. Because of the kids, I do a lot of crafting downstairs, so that's where most of my stuff has to be. The beautiful, large, super-closet we recently bought is actually quite full, so that leaves the cupboard under the stairs. And I don't know what it is, but whenever I finish a project, I get this urge to tidy up! So last night I was browsing Pinterest pictures again... Read more...
Carrycot
For under the Christmas tree... I made a travel crib for a 15cm Maileg rabbit. I also added a blanket for the bunny to snuggle up in. Read more...
Castle of dust
Well, it was quite a job, but the princess's bed is finished. Because I wanted to give it as a Sinterklaas gift, it also had to be beautifully wrapped: a castle! I knew what I was doing, and I think it was an even bigger job! Based on the instructions in this blog post , this is the result. Read more...
Princess and the Pea
Once upon a time, there was a prince who was looking for a princess. He couldn't find one anywhere, until one stormy night, a girl knocked on his door, seeking shelter. She said she was a princess...yes, thought the queen, we'll see! She made up the four-poster bed with twenty mattresses and twenty blankets, and hid a pea between them. A real princess is so sensitive that she doesn't sleep a wink, thought the queen. When the princess appeared at breakfast the next day, she didn't look particularly rested...I didn't... Read more...
Princess bunny
The bunny was of course already finished (see tutorial ), but here is a little photo shoot! Read more...
Dust, dust, dust!
This makes me so happy... I've ordered all sorts of new fabrics! This pile is for the Maileg dollhouse. It's fabrics from Tilda, Dapper, and no brand. I can't wait to get started... but first I still need to finish the small dollhouse. That's coming along nicely, by the way. Just a few more pillows and a duvet, and then that'll be done.

Tutorial: A Maileg rabbit diy
There it is, my first homemade Maileg bunny. I'm happy with the end result. It's based on a 23cm bunny. The first resident for the large dollhouse. I thought it best not to start too small, because how to make the micro... I have no idea! Below, I'll explain how I made this one, the mini. First, I made my own pattern. I think this bunny is a bit thinner than the real one, but I don't mind. Then I placed the pattern pieces on the fabric and roughly cut... Read more...

Tutorial: Butterflies on the wall
It took a fair amount of patience, but the result is impressive, if I do say so myself. I estimate there are about 250 butterflies in the heart. Instructions: First,... Read more...
