We love you all! And we are so looking forward to seeing you again next year, catch up on all your adventures, joys and tribulations🥰 Happy start of the Advent, everyone!🥳😘🎄May your Christmas be filled with peace, joy and love. <br />Well... and also delicious cookies:-D <br /></p>

In the few spare moments I can steal, I'm slowly working on another 1890s-inspired Period Lolita dress - and once again, it's made of polkadot fabric:-) I hope I can get my hands on a pink, yellow and lilac one as well one day to make yet some more Period Lolita dresses...<br />
This one's gonna have the biggest sleeves I've yet tackled and in hindsight, I'd add more tulle support inside than was recommended in the pattern. Still haven't found the right kind of lace to go with this...<br />

Finished kokoshnik commission - I'm kind of thinking about making one for myself for the upcoming Animefest 2019 Fashion Show, but I'm not entirely sure yet, since this type of a headdress is extremely laborious... but so regal when worn!<br />

The Gothic door is almost done from one side - have to figure out what to do with the reverse one... plus the frame for the door is a nightmare so far - I think I need to get some balsa wood for it. But finally in Romania I found some nice hinges for it, yay, so at least that problem is solved!<br />

The sitting room, how it looks so far. It looks beter in reality, but I'm not satisfied with it, anyway. The colours of the walnut and the mahogany furniture clash. I think I'll just transfer the walnut into the study, once I begin working on it. And I'll move this room to another one, to make space for a corridor with a staircase, I think.<br />

The cook resting after a lot of baking. Made the bread, the baguette and all the other baked stuff out of salt dough, the kettle was a gift from a friend who found it in an antique store - seems it's actually copper and looks lovely when polished. Been a while since I did, looks like it needs to be done again. The bread baskets are made of wire and cord in one case, in the other, of wire and bast twine, if I remember correctly. The table was made by daddy and me, the chair is from a flea market. And I really need to re-root her hair and finish the dress... oh well, one day.<br />

Real scented soap for our BJD!!! It was such fun to make! We traditionally put scented soap into the clothing in our wardrobes to make it smell nice and to ward off moths, so this was a must have for our dolly. I might make some more with a different scent when I have scraps of it...<br />
<br />Now, there is more, but I can't walk because of a sprained knee, so more photos will have to wait till it heals a bit:-) What are you working on, folks?<br />

The Schwarzenberg couple fell in love with it, truly, madly, deeply, and decided to build a bit of it in Bohemia. The result is breathtaking.<br />Inspired by the Windsor, this castle and the grounds took some thirty-one years to build and it is as spectacular inside as it is outside. You can clearly see the Schwarzenbergs were a wealthy and powerful family in every room and every lobby - which is good for us tourists, because we can now admire all the wonderful castles and palaces they've left behind as their legacy:-)<br />So much inspiration for dollhouse decoration...<br />
The castle is filled with incredible carvings both in wood and in marble, some of them of unearthly fragility. One especially frail carved mirror frame took seventeen years to make to the local masters - I wish I had a photo of it to show what beauty human hands are capable of producing. Sadly it was not possible to take photos inside, so let me share the exterior at least:-) Welcome in a fairytale. <br />

So, we've just had a blast at the wonderful Bring&Buy event organized by Margueritte Weinlich and this inspired us to start planning for some more events in a couple of months to come. But, the classical problem - we've got nothing to wear!<br />
I've got this sweet pink brocade laying in my stash and initially I thought, hmm, maybe I could match Iris and make something Rococo-inspired. <br />
Iris: "Are you sure? You've never worn it, do you think you'd feel comfortable? You usually feel good in 19th Century-inspired stuff... how about you turn it into something 1870s-like?"<br />
Me: "I'll just watch the <i>I want Candy</i> Marie Antoinette video and I'll be fine, you'll see."<br />
I fiddled around with it for a while, Iris improved it, I fiddled around with it some more till I was so-so satisfied... and then I went back to Iris, peeked in and timidly asked: "How about we add a bustle to it and 1870s it up?"<br />
One big chuckle and a knowing look from Iris later, there was the design for the skirt done and I had the basic idea for the shape and the decorations on the bodice laid out.<br />
<br />
Now the work on the bodice is going to be interesting... enlarging teensy tiny patterns from old magazines is always fun. Good thing I've got Iris to refresh my memory as to how it's done... she's the most amazing, patient and fun teacher.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So, fingers crossed, the back and the front are going to look similar to this... I especially love the back. <br />
We are, however, actually starting with the skirt part - it's an interesting experiment to see how the gored panels (?is that how it's called?) will translate to the Lolita shape. <br />

Tropical temperatures are here, holidays are fast approaching and the season for travelling is here, so I thought I might put together some tips that worked for me when travelling in Lolita as a person with frequent health issues. This list is by no means complete, so if you can think up a suggestion of your own, please go ahead and write it in the comments:-) Happy summer everybody! <br />
(Ok, ok. I know it's not summer yet according to the calendar. But the nature seems to think otherwise.)<br />

<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>First of all, put on a dress or a skirt that is not constraining in any way. A-line dresses and simple skirts that aren't decorated with any heavy frills are a good idea. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Don't bother yourself with a wig; the cuteness is not worth the headache and the overheating. </li>
<li>Keep your medication close at hand, especially if you've got some that's used for emergencies. It tends to hit when you need it least, so it's best to be prepared. This might be superfluous to mention, but better safe than sorry - if you are travelling with someone (a friend, a boyfriend/girlfriend, relatives...), make sure they know what to do if you get sick and won't panic in the crucial moment.</li>
<li>Water. Keep yourself hydrated, especially in these hot days, and have the bottle always close by. </li>
<li>Make sure any of the layers can be taken off; might be actually better to travel with cute shorts underneath instead of bloomers, so that, if you get too hot, you can just strip down to a T-shirt and shorts and still be decent for public transport like trains or buses.</li>
<li>Your parasol is your good friend, if you can put up with this extra thing to carry and it doesn't tire you out too much. In extra hot regions like the Southern Europe it's often a lifesaver.</li>
<li>Skirts and dresses that have pockets often tend to be easier on an organism that tends to get exhausted easily than a purse, plus you can't forget them anywhere if brain fog hits you. Alternatively, for me at least, a cute backpack generally works better for the weight is distributed evenly on both shoulders and is easier to carry. </li>
<li>Going heavy on the accessories might prove exhausting after some time spent on the road; casual and simple does it.</li>
<li>Keep a snack close by, especially if you are prone to hypoglycemia. Fresh fruit for example is good as a quick thing to nibble on periodically through the journey. Cools down, brings in sugar and refreshes. </li>
<li>Smaller, less poofy petticoat (or even none at all) might be a better idea than a huge one, depending on what travelling space you shall have available for yourself; in any case, at least in my experience, it tends to be a little less hot. Petticoats tend to be from synthetic materials, so in summer they can turn into a burning hothouse. Overheating can be dangerous for anyone, but for people with chronic issues it especially isn't a good idea.</li>
<li>Keep your phone charged and keep it with you at all times. Sometimes people will be nice and will help you out if they see you are sick, but sometimes they won't care or might think you are high on drugs and just step over you when you are in fact struggling to stay alive.</li>
<li>Medical bracelets can be made very cute and might be a good way to give yourself a slightly better chance this won't happen. Lolify it to Heaven and back; go crazy with it. Just make sure the important part with the info about your specific condition will be clearly visible.</li>
<li>Keep the fabrics light, if you can. Minimise the weight you carry in any way possible to prevent exhaustion. </li>
<li>Cute, sparkly sneakers or ballet flats with sweet bows tend to work better for longer journeys than normal Lolita shoes that can be challenging to take on and off. They also tend to be easier to walk in in the long run. </li>
<li>If you don't usually use crutches, but you know there are moments when having some support as you walk might be handy, consider trekking poles - they can be folded away and they can be gotten in pink. I've seen girls with chronic spinal or leg joints problems being saved by them a couple of times on longer trips when they thought they just can't walk any longer. </li>
<li>Ellie had some brilliant suggestions! So here they come: <br />Minimal make-up.<br />Suncream with a high SPF.<br />Supply of handkerchiefs for
nasty summer colds and use on public transport. They could be used to
cover mouths or hands, when holding railings. <br />Having hair away from the
face, in an up-do can be very useful for keeping cool. <br />Thanks so much, Ellie!</li>

I wonder, will two more trainless petticoats underneath solve the problem, or will I have to go the bustle cage way?<br />

Aaand I'm all out of lace. I'm thinking of using tulle lace for the remaining ruffle rows, since it looked lovely when I tried it, but I'm not sure how historically accurate that would be... thoughts?<br />

The sleeves!!! The skirts!<br />

I wanted a dress I could wear both outside and at home; a practical, washable dress without any lace for easy upkeep, dress that could be dressed up or down as needed. And then I found this fabric at a local shop and was overjoyed - it was just perfect! Originally, I put lace at the hem of the skirt, but ripped it off - and I'm happier with it now. Cute. Practical. Comfy. With strong 1890s vibes. My preshioussss!!! <br />
And you know what's the best part?<br />
It's got POCKETSESSS!!! XD<br />
<br />
Now I just need more of the 1890s-inspired dresses like this...<br />
<br />
The second staple is a skirt my sister Iris made for me as a present - because aww, the teddy bear print!<3<3<3 Plus the simple elegance of the cut means it can be, again, dressed up or down as I please. And it's washable. And soft to touch. And voluminous. And I just love it.<br />

Btw, there's still enough of this teddy bear fabric to make a skirt - so look forward to seeing it for sale in the shop :-)<br />
Now I'm looking forward to see what the others have posted :-)<br />

That's all for now, folks, hope to post again soon-ish:-)Rosahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628792731221881082noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105617654711788736.post-17418150808973966542018-02-01T12:20:00.000-06:002018-02-01T12:20:08.118-06:00Fashion Show Sneak Peak Or What Goes into the Production of a Period Lolita Dress?So what does go into it, apart from blood, sweat and tears?<br />
<br />
1. <i>Piles and miles of fabric, lace, ruffles. </i>Those bundles of tulle lace total 102 yards; I expect to use these up almost all on my new dress project (which you won't see until the Fashion Show :-) ). But then, the volume of the skirt is some 3 meters + ...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
2. <i>A cuppa.</i> Seriously. A big one.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://dailynutritiouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/herbal_tea_1469899618.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="529" data-original-width="800" height="262" src="https://dailynutritiouslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/herbal_tea_1469899618.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
3. <i>Research.</i> Goes well with the cuppa. In fact, it is highly recommended to pair up these two. Going through my Pinterest board with free historical patterns and tutorials + my 1890s inspiration board, I've found this pattern to help me out with the front of the bodice:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e6/b1/38/e6b138630833703fe60af2c788bb66dd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="428" height="400" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e6/b1/38/e6b138630833703fe60af2c788bb66dd.jpg" width="341" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Not sure yet though if it quite fits this particular project.<br />
<br />
4. <i>Period movies.</i> Sometimes Vinnetou and Old Shatterhand movies. And other times historical documentaries. Because you need something to get you through all the boring bits such as pinning stuff together or fiddling with the hem.<br />

<br />
5. <i>Passion.</i> Or masochistic madness. Either will do.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
6. <i>Travelling and stalking antique shops, websites and flea markets.</i> The narrow edging lace is from a lace shop in Bosnia-Herzegovina; the insertion lace is a handmade antique piece I found in an antique shop in Denmark. Imagine the excited squeal:-)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1v5E0ShP-0s65JyCeN-apgVeK_nCqe6jGRJaYUu7KUvVLFeo-9u-nc0D5SJc7HnzBxf4Az3KX59g7ZMy4Dsj8KekedBbHtGImeQ8IDsY9nNZ58M9f2HYTKVTEQAf2CVItjFXHstWA7XAX/s1600/P1080765.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1v5E0ShP-0s65JyCeN-apgVeK_nCqe6jGRJaYUu7KUvVLFeo-9u-nc0D5SJc7HnzBxf4Az3KX59g7ZMy4Dsj8KekedBbHtGImeQ8IDsY9nNZ58M9f2HYTKVTEQAf2CVItjFXHstWA7XAX/s640/P1080765.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
7. <i>Time.</i> A lot of it. A dress like this one, all neatly finished inside and with loads of ruffles at the front you can't see, eats up easily some 40 hours and more:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/48/18/b6/4818b6162f7cb328fab6a028f3f541ad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="752" data-original-width="564" height="640" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/48/18/b6/4818b6162f7cb328fab6a028f3f541ad.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
8. <i>Patience.</i> Often what's needed is the patience to handsew, to nail the look just right, especially with complicated lace insertion patches or with bonnets or other headwear.<br />
<br />

8. <i>Money.</i> These pretty things get costly and take a lot of saving
up for if you're on a tight budget like me; the lace for this new
project alone was some 181 USD. My piggy bank hates me. So someone out
there, I hope you will buy the dress once it's doneXDRosahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628792731221881082noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105617654711788736.post-13291980041294041922018-01-01T06:25:00.000-06:002018-01-01T06:25:12.633-06:00Our new Storenvy shop + a fabric haulHappy New Year everyone! May it be a happy, healthy and blessed one! What New Year goals have you set for yourself for 2018?<br />
For me, on the top of the list was to launch our Storenvy shop. And lookie look, it's opened today! Yaaaay! Check it out, you all:-) <a href="http://vivianairis.storenvy.com/" target="_blank">http://vivianairis.storenvy.com/</a><br />
<br />
I'm still figuring out how Storenvy works actually, so the logo needs work (I fiddled around with it for a while and somehow I'm doing something wrong it seems, it keeps stubbornly staying cut off at the wrong places), plus I need to add more items, but yay, it's up, it's up! Expect a giveaway soon-ish to celebrate the launch!<br />
Oh and we've got a FB fanpage now. Yup, finally:-) Join in for updates!XD <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vivianairisfashions/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/vivianairisfashions/</a><br />

My three-months-lasting string of incessant illnesses seems to be finally drawing to a close, slowly, so I hope to blog more... well, at least a bit:-) <br />So now, onto the haul!<br />

Lovely, lovely fabrics, trims and notions...<br />
There was a sale over at the Sartor silk shop, which meant I could get my hands on the green brocade I need for the soft furnishings of the green MSD room, the orange brocade for the 1:12 dollhouse and the dupion swatch I need for the fashion show!!! Yay!<br />

Oh and guess what else's new, guess what else's new - teh budding indie Lolita brand <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vivianairisfashions/" target="_blank">Viviana Iris</a> got invited to participate in a fashion show in February!!! *happy dance* One more reason for the long silence - yours truly has been busy using up the scraps of energy she had for hunting down kilometres of laces and fabrics all over the internet. And ostrich plumes. And butterflies. And sparkly buckles. And ribbons. And pearls. This photo up there is just a tiny sneak peak of the lusciousness to come. <br />
Oh my, there are hats to make, dresses to make, hotels to book, models to have a fitting with...<br />
<br />
So, we shall present 3 outfits at the show; of those, 1 dress is done, 1 bonnet is done, 1 petticoat is done and 1 skirt and 1 headdress are nearing completion. Which means, still 1 dress (the most complicated one), 1 hat, 1 blouse and at least 1 petticoat to go... I've started putting together the hat, but so far it is in the mock up stage. <br />
Still waiting for most of the lace. Still have some to order yet. Post Office, please don't fail me now:-)<br />
<br />
Good luck everyone to this New Year!Rosahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628792731221881082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105617654711788736.post-87354461466372325052017-10-30T03:14:00.000-05:002017-10-30T03:21:57.810-05:00HSM Challenge: Out of your comfort zone, or 1830s sleeve supportsSo, I made it.

<b><i>Material: </i></b><i>Cotton scraps from my grandma's destash, cotton batiste scraps</i><i>, voile scraps for the stuffing</i><b><i><br /></i></b><br />
<b><i>Pattern:</i></b><i> drafted by my sister based on this tutorial: <a href="https://freshfrippery.com/2014/03/06/1830s-romantic-dress-part-2-sleeve-support-poufs/">https://freshfrippery.com/2014/03/06/1830s-romantic-dress-part-2-sleeve-support-poufs/</a></i><br />
<b><i>Year: </i></b><i>1830s</i><br />
<i><b></b></i><br />
<i><b>How historically accurate is it? </b>Not sure about the filling and perhaps I've stuffed the narrower part too much, but the <a href="http://blog.mdhs.org/costumes/a-rare-find-sleeve-plumpers" target="_blank">cotton is accurate</a> and it is all handsewn, so I'm hoping it's pretty good. <br /><b></b></i><br />
<i><b>Hours to complete: </b>Not sure, I didn't keep track... possibly about 2 hours?<b><br /></b></i><br />
<b><i>First worn:</i></b><i> Not yet</i><br />
<i><b>Total cost: </b>About 50 cents for the strip of batiste:-)</i><b></b><br />

I guess a little explanation of what's been going on is due... I can't believe it has been this long since I last posted anything before the <a href="http://fantasiadollhousediaries.blogspot.cz/2017/06/fabric-haul-time-or-back-to-blogging.html" target="_blank">fabric haul post</a>- but a lot of tough things have happened, with a grave injury and illness in my family, so in between of that and my own ongoing health troubles and schoolwork overload there was no space for blogging or creating anything much. I hope it will improve somewhat now that the exams are done and summer is here...<br />
<br />
Anyway, for now at least a couple of teasers - stuff that I started working on before all this madness happened, but didn't get around posting them.<br />
<br />
1. Bonnet for Ellie's dollies - started working on it seriously ages ago, still not done, but getting there. I hope she'll like it when it's finished...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
2. An 1876 dolman - this began as the project for the red HSF challenge from last year, but I didn't make it... Red satin, white flannel interlining, lining will probably be black given the black lace trimming I'm gonna sew on. It seriously needs ironing. And I'm wavering whether to add a black net overlay...<br />

3. The silver 1876 gown that was meant to be finished by the time of Ellie's visit to Prague last year - well, might be it will be finished in time for her next visitXD I need to find silver grey tulle somewhere...and more of this awesome lace. Has anybody seen it for sale anywhere?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
4. A turquoise 1876 winter jacket - finally found the fabric which is the right colour! I'm planning to add a white net lace overlay over it; fingers crossed the jacket will look good with the silver dress.<br />
This is the pattern I'll be using, I think:<br />

<br />
5. An 1876 petticoat to go with the gown - I started a bit strangely, with the detachable train, because it's the fun bit:-) I ran out of lace and it's only the second row... <br />

We personally cannot wait for making something very delightful out of them. Skirts? Dresses? And matching accessories? All of that we will definitely try. But before we get there...enjoy at least these pics. Which one do you find the most inspirational?<br />

My sister finished it today and we both think it's got such a nice fairy vibe - what do you girls and guys think? It's puffy enough on its own, even sans petticoat, which is great; and since there's some tulle left over, I'm thinking I'll try to make a simple casual tulle skirt once I have more energy.<br />
<br />Gosh, it's like a piece of fairytale, or like for the Sugar Plum Fairy, I just can't stop staring at it - I'm scared that if I blink, it will be goneXD How about you, dear souls, have you got any dress that you just can't believe you own? Let me know in the comments:-)Rosahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628792731221881082noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105617654711788736.post-5923422245113458362016-08-21T12:18:00.002-05:002016-08-21T12:18:22.748-05:00Pink Meringue JSK Project- Loads of Fluffy Tulle Ahead!:-)My lovely sister just finished one part of the beading lace for the bodice.

The skirt part, methinks, needs more layers of frills... it's a bit bare as it is. We have them prepared, but we aren't sure yet. What do you think, ladies and gentleman?<br />

So, how do you like it?:-) We nearly squealed with excitement when we saw the fabric - and the cute fabric shop we ran into by a total chanceXD<br />
<br />
I've got a bonnet commission finished, so I expect to post pictures here soon... see you, dear souls! Rosahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628792731221881082noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105617654711788736.post-4455899953001615002016-07-05T03:52:00.003-05:002016-07-06T03:29:44.138-05:00White and Cream Tulle and Rose Lolita Bonnet - WIPHi all:-) As I was waiting for fabric to arrive for a bonnet commission, I started randomly playing around with the prepared base, throwing this and that together - and this bonnet we're working on with mum is the result. I snapped only few progress pics because it was somehow always dark when I remembered to take them, but I hope they'll give you at least some idea of the process.<br />
I had this design on mind actually for some time, though initially I thought it would be all about lace - but I like the emphasis on the flowers, leaves and the tulle a lot. One of these days I'll make something airy and simple where the accent is entirely on the frail tulle... but this called for a touch of opulence. <br />
I was torn for a long time whether to keep it or sell it, to be honest, but in the end I think I'll sell it. I'm thinking I'll call it the Rose Garden Bonnet... what do you think?<br />My inspiration for this actually were various pictures of Victorian wedding bonnets - I kinda wonder what it would look like with a breath-light veil...oh be still my bleeding heart. Stop tempting me.<br />

I still need to sew the flowers and the leaves on, so it's still all pins, threads and needles, plus I have the commission to finish, so I don't know when I get to it. But I like it so far, how about you?<br />

PS: Thanks for all your sweet comments on the jacket. It means so much to us! *hugs* Rosahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628792731221881082noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105617654711788736.post-73018239746567811632016-07-01T09:48:00.002-05:002016-07-02T04:48:04.241-05:00Victorian-inspired Lolita winter jacket: project diary part IIAfter all the commissions and things made for sale, darling sis felt like working on some project for us; I went through the catalogue of unfinished things in my head and when I brought her a sketch of what we might do with the winter jacket and the fabrics I've piled up for it, she got excited and set to work with zeal. It's great to have a sister who loves to spoil you rotten *grins*<br />
<br />
We're still missing a piece of ribbon to fasten the jacket with; but it is done otherwise:-)<br />

Btw, the hand is healed now, except for one finger, which is kinda slow on the way to recovery, but should be fine with time, hopefully... so I hope to show you a couple of projects we're working on soon. How have you guys been? What projects are <i>you</i> up to? Tell me in the comments:-)Rosahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628792731221881082noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105617654711788736.post-61754842606994333192016-03-20T06:13:00.000-05:002016-03-20T06:13:23.241-05:00Working on the Fantasia Dollhouse: Gothic Door in Progress Hello! *waves a bandaged hand* I managed to cut myself rather spectacularly as I was carving one of the columns for this door, so I guess it will be a bit silent here while it heals... serves me right for carving as I talk and watch TV, holding it in my hand instead of pressing it against some firm surface!<br />
<br />
This door is meant for a balcony archway, to close it so that light couldn't get in and destroy the fabrics and furniture. Dad cut and sanded the base for me; the carving is by me. Now this is the second time I ever tried to carve anything, so it's not perfect and it's far from done - but I'm quite happy with how it's going (except for the gory bits). It opens up possibilities... <br />It's going to be painted white.<br />

<br />
So first is a pair of pink chiffon cuteness that's still up for adoption (<a href="http://www.lacemarket.us/pink-chiffon-bloomers/" target="_blank">here at Lacemarket</a>, for 21 USD + shipping of some 7 USD within Europe and 8.4 USD to the US). Soft, fluffy, adorable, French-seamed throughout (that chiffon frays like nobody's business!) - I hope it gets a good home soon:-)<br />

To get a nice picture frame, if no miniature shop is nearby, simply go to the nearest haberdashery shop or browse through your stash; chances are you'll find some buttons which are made of two parts like those in the picture above. Pop the middle insertion out. Usually it goes smoothly, but in case it doesn't, press it against some hard surface and it will. And voila! A space for a picture!<br />

Make a template. I do it by pressing a piece of paper against the oval/circle and going around the edges with my fingers so it forms a relief - I guess there might be better ways of doing this, but it's just how I do it.<br />

Use the template to trace the outline on your chosen picture and cut out a piece of plastic sheet (for example from discarded food packaging or other such), glue it together and that's it, you're done:-)<br />
