My RUSTIC Garden

After

We started out with very dense woods.

 Our goal was to use recycled materials.

I cleared out the Ivy and several small trees and bushes. Then we built a platform for the greenhouse.

Here is the side view before we added trim and decor to the greenhouse

Then it was time to start the garden plan.

Oh Well!

As it turned out, the online store was more trouble than it was worth. I will download the patterns onto "good ol' Etsy" very soon! The patterns are written instructions only...photos included. Also, life got really busy recently and I had to put video making on the back burner. I'm sure you have heard other video makers talk about the lengthy amount of time to edit. Sewing is my game...my expertise does not lie in fast editing. Apologies to my viewers...sad face!

Folding Doll rooms

 

I made "pockets" with 2 pieces of fabric, inserted cardboard, sewed the pockets into a folding book that opens for dollhouse play.  This particular dollhouse was for the repainted Bratz doll and can be sized up for a taller doll.  The wooden boxes to the right in the center picture (from Dollar Tree) are used for storage and also for the doll to sit on or lie on.

For the older girls, I copied "room" coloring pictures from the internet, placed each picture in a page protector, and placed all in a binder.  Again the wooden boxes can be used for storage, as a chair, or bed.  I colored a few of the pictures and left the rest for the girls to color.  The binder rings can be used to hang the dresses in the "closet".

I had a great time sewing 2 little outfits.  One on my great-grandmother's 1904 treadle machine and the same outfit on my current machine.
