FloThe seamstress has been working on my new coat. It was a bit of a complicated pattern as she decided to make me a shawl collar. #No52 #DollsHouse #Coat
I was rather taken with this side table which has a mirrored back and you can see the feet of the visitors in the reflection. Perhaps when our sideboard is finished we could ask the joiners for a table like this… #No52
The seamstress has made some paper pattern pieces for my coat. When she has finished filling the nail holes in her porch she says she will cut it out for me. A treat for us both. #No52 #Dressmaking #DollsHouse
The Seamstress has made me a handbag so I have hung it in the hall. I am hoping to have purse and a little mirror to put in it soon! Always important to look my best when out and about. Not the easiest spot to photograph… but here we are. #No52
The fire surround itself is looking lovely with its glossy French Polish and shiny mirror. In the mirror you can see the reflection of our dining room wall across the landing. #No52
We are gathered in our sitting room enjoying our new fireplace. Mrs M has taken off her apron to celebrate. 🍾 She has a cup of tea, Ben and I have a tipple and Frank has his milk. We are very comfortable! And it is nice to see the back of the joiners. #No52 #DollsHouse
Our poor house looked like this! We had no doors and a lot of very unfashionable paint colours. Our Seamstress has been working hard over the years to make our home more comfortable for us all. #No52 #DollsHouse
Today we are celebrating the 8th anniversary of being liberated from our shoe-box where we lived for ten years wishing and wishing for our home to be restored. #No52 #ShoeBox
It’s a very warm day here today and Mrs M has finished her morning work so she is doing some quiet knitting out of the sun. She has put her new summer quilt on her bed which the seamstress made for her out of old scraps of cloth. She says it makes her room look summery. #No52 #FlashFiction #DollsHouse
JanetThe piecing is finished! This round the world quilt now needs backed and I have to choose a quilting pattern which I will continue to work by hand. This is a very satisfying project so far. Two pictures because the pattern stands out better from a distance. The penny is there for scale. #quilting #HandSewing @quilting #No52 #MiniQuilt
