A little progress with the sewing room

I built the shelf unit, using a wooden box, more or less, with nice proportions. I am a very poor carpenter and have to be practical, since furniture pieces are very scarce here.  The pieces of material had to be collected too. People who do patchwork find it easier to have at hand good pieces. A good mirror must be added and I am  going to look for one next.  It slowly comes along.

I am going to make a little box for a friend here who collects real size teapots.  I made new miniature teapots from beads and also one from a tutorial by the talented Christel, the penguin one. I hope my friend will like them.

I am making another 1:48" mini box for another friend.  Once more an outdoor scene with a tired gardener taking a rest.  (He used to be part of a Peruvian dancing pair and still wears traditional clothes.) Again I hope my friend will like it.  At least it won't take up much space at her home.

Again I am using this opportunity to welcome new friends:

Lori
Nyork
Estefania
Pilar Segmentino
Juani
Leo Furtado
Tuflelchen
Patrizia
Ana Camara

I am very happy to know you and when it's possible I follow your blogs. If I do not, it is because I couldn't find them and you only have to let me know.

    I think the fact that we don''t ready make furniture makes us more creative, Drora :). Your shelf turn out very nicely. And it is from a box? Marvellous! I am a poor carpenter myself and find myself bashing ready make stuff with the right proportions so that I don't have to worry about them :)

    Drora, your sewing room is fantastic! I love the fabric rolls on the shelf! Your teapots are totally adorable. Did you use fimo or another clay to make the handles and spouts? Your friend will be so lucky to receive your miniature scene. I always enjoy your comments on my blog--you are so positive and friendly!
