Joulukalenterin ensimmäiset kaksi luukkua - Swap Calendar Days 1 & 2

Tämmöttiis kauniina pakkaspäivänä oli mukava avata kalenterin toinen luukku.

Tästä se nyt alkaa - Loppurutistus!

Vuoden tuplanano on pulkassa (eli kirjotin 100k sanaa kymmenessä päivässä). Nyt on sitten aika paneutua nukkevitriinin laittoon...! Inspis olis kova, mutta puuhaa on niin paljon että vaivaa tarvittavan vääntöenergian puute.

• Tapetit, listat ja lattiat huoneisiin. (Valaistuksesta joudutaan nyt tinkimään ja se järjestetään myöhemmin.)
• Seinille puolipaneelit.
• Leivinuunin viimeistely.
• Sammal- & jäkäläkoristeiden teko.
• Polttopuut ja polttopuuteline.
• Taulut ja hyllyt seinille.
• Laatikoiden ja kaapinovien vetimet/nupit/kahvat ja saranat.
• Takan viimeistely.
• Valaisimet (eli lyhtyjä ja ripustimet seinille).
• Varastotavaroiden viimeistely/maalaus.

Pikkutavaroita, mm.

• Kaulin
• Piirakkapulikka
• Leikkuulauta
• Leipälapio
• Leipävarras
• Puulusikka yms.
• Takkakepit
• Luuta
• Pesuallas
• Kynttilöitä
• Huonekasveja
• Kahvimylly

Ja tässä on vasta itse taloa koskevat askareet. Sitten itse projektia varten pitäisi myös kuvata ja asetella, editoida kuvat ja kirjoittaa kuvatekstit. Hommaa siis piisaa. Kalmanlinjakin tälle olisi ja se on tulossa vastaan aivan liian varhain noin viikon päästä... Lisäksi kohta alkaa joulukalenteriluukkujen avaus, joten sitä varten täytyy myös varata muutama minuutti päivästä kuvaamiseen yms. Siivotakin pitäisi. Joulukortit ja lahjat vielä askartelematta. Iskeekö paniikki? Paniikki iskee! :'D


I thought I'd write in Finnish this time. Those of you who don't speak this insane language, rest assured you're not missing much. Just mentioned I was done with nano and it's time to get cracking with the doll miniature stuff again. A to do -list under/behind the cut.

Walls and floors

Oh dear, this is exhausting. I've sort of got floors in three of the seven rooms. I bought some fabric to serve as wallpaper since my printer's not working properly... but there were only suitable ones for three of the rooms. Also, I had to abandon one room because I don't have enough furniture. I do wonder if I'm going to get this finished on time... It doesn't look particularly good. :/

Joulukalenteritilannepäivitys

Vain ihka ensimmäinen luukku puuttuu ja kaikki ovat saaneet miun lähettämät luukut, joten alkaa olla selvää pässinlihaa tämä vaihto. Kohta alkaa pakettien avaaminen...!

Well, that was anticlimactic...

Meant to print wallpapers this week. Ordered some ink cartridges for the printer and they arrived promptly... but yay, the printer is broken. Even after countless of cartridge cleanups (both via setup and manually), it still prints stripey poo. So, no wallpapers in sight. And I had the flu (or common cold, whatever it was), so I've been out of commission for almost two weeks. I do wonder if I'm ever getting the house done... D:

Progress Report - Furniture, part 2 & stuff~

The dollhouse furniture project is coming along all right. I've got quite a lot done, but they need some decorative details, so I won't be showing everything just yet. But here's a peek to what I've done the past week or so.






Something for the hall: A wonky shoe shelf and a hat & coat hanger thingy that hasn't got hooks in place just yet.


I got these awesome sticks from a store called Biltema. I used some leftover wax to give them a bit of colour and used them as a floor. All the wallpapering is still to be done. I just haven't been able to pick what I want yet. 


This is the larder. Items still need to be painted and placed appropriately, but it's coming along. There will be even more stuff in there later.


I found these delicious-looking beads. Not sure what I'll be making yet, but I bet it'll be disappointing wonderful!

Joulukalenteriluukkuswappi \o/

Kalenteri on täysi! Kiitos osallistujille. Postittelen tavaraa parin viikon sisällä, luultavasti aiemmin. Ilmoittelen sitten. Jos vielä haluat luukun eikä ole kenen kanssa vaihtaa, voin ottaa muutaman extran. Kelpaa kooltaan hieman isompikin tavara (ks. nuket muissa postauksissa), mutta teen ~1:12 kokoisia vaihtoon (pyynnöstä muutakin kokoa). Toivomuksia saa yhä esittää koon ja aiheen puolesta. Tosin valtaosa luukuista on jo valmiina, joten kovin järisyttävästi niihin ei kohta enää voi vaikuttaa.
(Huom. Kommenteissa on muutes spämmitarkistin, joten älkää ihmetelkö jos ne eivät hetsillään näy!)

Fabrics and buttons...

I went insane and bought a bunch of gorgeous fabrics from a shop nearby. I even managed to make something out of them.





This was the first haul...


The second somewhat smaller haul.


Here's the third when they had a sale. I went back the next day and bought some more, but didn't remember to take a picture.


I also ordered some buttons. Just a few... Then I sorted them because I'm insane. :p


Some more buttons. My sorting insanity continues. This was an uneven assortment.


Then I made some pillows for the boys.

Mushroom Hunting

We went mushroom hunting some time back. 






Ernest found a chanterelle.


Blueberries are Ernest's favourite. Hence the hugging.

Progress Report - Furniture, part 1

I'm building some 1:12 roomboxes inside a glass-door cabinet. I'm making most of the furniture myself. So far I've got a towel holder, a bookshelf, a kitchen cabinet, a dining table and chairs, storage shelves, a sofa and three tables (big one for food preparation, a coffee table and a tiny end table) and a drawer shelf thingy. I've also got two armchairs on the way. That's about all I've been doing for the past couple of weeks.
I'll also be making some trunks, boxes and other smaller items this Thursday. I'm attending a doll house furniture making class every Thursday until the end of November, so I'm assuming I'll have a full house by then. :D



Here's the cabinet. I got it for 90€ +delivery.


Here's the first thing I made. It's a little rough, but I'm going for the... uhm... rustic look. :p


Here's the first bookshelf. 


A kitchen cabinet. The doors are still missing hinges and handles. I might add something to the back, not sure what yet.


It's a bench sofa thingy. Legs undecided.


Not sure what this thing is, but the little drawers will eventually have handles. Also, this needs some fine tuning still.



A dining table and some wobbly chairs. 


This image is a bit crappy, but I just wanted to show I made some storage shelves as well as the rickety bookshelf.

I'm also making an oven&stove thingy, but I need to fix it some before I can show it. It's currently way too embarrassing...
