Beach House Time-Table


Beach House Project

I am a member in a Dutch dolls house club and this year our group project is a veranda / porch.
I decided to use my new beach house kit for this project ( so I have some “pressure” to finish it).
2 years ago our group project was a toy shop. I am still working on that project. I hope to finish both group projects in December 2015!!!!!
 
Here is the veranda time table:

January / February (Construction):
We have to assemble the veranda. I will customized the kit. I would like to have a bigger veranda not only at the entrance. I will do also a real wooden flooring not only a paper one. I am also not satisfied with the glossy wallpaper. Maybe I paint the walls.

March (something to sit):
We have to do a chair, lounge set or a sun bed. I will do the Adirondack chair which came with the kit.
I will paint it again. The original paint is a mix of yellow and green and it looks terrible.
I will do also a little table and maybe some cushions.
 
April (Storage):
We have to do a “storage” furniture f.e. a rack or a little self. I will do a little cabinet for all the beach toys.

May (Animals on the veranda):
This is my biggest problem. Maybe I do a dog basket. I will use a blue/white striped fabric.  I hope to find a little cairn terrier in 1/24. If you know where I can buy one please contact me. Thank you. A wooden nautical bird house is also a nice idea.

June (swap):
In June we have our summer swap. I have to do something for my swap partner’s veranda.
Kitty one of our club member create a pinboard on pintrest:
Hope to find there some inspirations.

July (Plants/ door wreath):
In July I have to some plants or a wreath for the veranda. A nautical wreath with sea shells would be nice. Or maybe a palm??

August (Drinks and Food):
In August we will do some drinks, food, a bbq or a cooking plate. I don’t work with Fimo so I will do no food. Maybe I will do a cooking plate.

September (Light):
In September we can do a light, a fan, candles, a little lantern.....

October (decoration):
In October we have to decorate our verandas.....cushions, pictures, candles.....this is really not a problem. I have lots of ideas!

November (free choice):
In November there is a free choice. Something for the beach house.....

December (Swap):
In December is also a swap. A little x-mas present for my swap partner’s veranda.

I really like our group project. There is also a monthly chat where we can change our ideas.

Doll's pram


 
 
I have upholstered a little doll's pram.
The doll's pram was 2013 in Els's advent calendar.
 
The biggest problem was to find the right fabric.
A fabric which is not so dominate.
 
I will put some of my new soft toys (raabbit, teddy bear and teddy girl) in the pram.
 
Els once again thank you for the pram.
 
Kiss
 
Sonja


 

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 
A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!
 
I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST FOR 2015.
