Yet, I can't help starting new projects as I get new ideas all of the time. I

Since it is a kids toy there was a chance they would look unrealistic. Well, I love it! I have not used it on a structure yet, but that is just a matter of time. The imprint comes out perfectly! The brick pattern is raised just enough to make it convincing. They will work as a walkway, on the side of a building or even a wall.</div><div><br /></div><div> OK for 1:12 or 1:6 scale in my opinion. I didn't paint them because these are just demonstrations. Once they are trimmed etc. I will bake and paint. A few coats of different shades of gray on the stones should make them look super realistic. The possiblities on the brick are limitless. Lightly pressing with sandpaper gives it a little texture. There are probably other ways to produce that look. I wonder how soaked egg cartons would look. Using it much in the way of making paper. Hmmm.</div><div><br /></div><div>The only parts I don't like is the stone mold is round. But, it is just a matter of cutting it into your desired shape, I guess. Also, the brick mold seems to be a little too thick for 1:12. Maybe a few careful slices from behind will solve that. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="275" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhksoQfbQHKTHT0Efs0J-oRRXLX63k852AcOiuPZtXr0ORjy8ZZLOsw5EzZAReL2BX_lJXusPX8v8bAKHTKcfmBwwNxm_7q1TR8ysgSpfkHO7i-R-3EBkaVBQkZTE8Y_kja60H7NVcz9Ds/w254-h191/image.png" width="254" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The tubs are filled with Play-Doh which you could share with the kiddies who can work right along side you.</div> <span style="text-align: center;"><br /> </span></div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLaDtTjemNGenbLuu0YoMoAnxb8djbFVF19B0O3yXcISa4pWm1l06DLv-l1EN6SCDGaWc8G32371YFRgHbdVsihd1wR4a1y7rUdahjWv6eO5vczXq7gnqajFANfNbiZ2dfxW63zUOwU54/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="153" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLaDtTjemNGenbLuu0YoMoAnxb8djbFVF19B0O3yXcISa4pWm1l06DLv-l1EN6SCDGaWc8G32371YFRgHbdVsihd1wR4a1y7rUdahjWv6eO5vczXq7gnqajFANfNbiZ2dfxW63zUOwU54/" width="178" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhksoQfbQHKTHT0Efs0J-oRRXLX63k852AcOiuPZtXr0ORjy8ZZLOsw5EzZAReL2BX_lJXusPX8v8bAKHTKcfmBwwNxm_7q1TR8ysgSpfkHO7i-R-3EBkaVBQkZTE8Y_kja60H7NVcz9Ds/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="275" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibsrqrCh54MDgoKBtQqzm6OaQ6VtmE_r6MRvDaQu0c6u1aqR1SvXlpghEjliyhHP7nhLNd0Pxmmby4ETXSKNjU-WbmFXohtGCUFu0O5EC2PRJFh5Bjze70LagjMKa31EEcUt06yc40-XQ/w253-h190/image.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="253" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhksoQfbQHKTHT0Efs0J-oRRXLX63k852AcOiuPZtXr0ORjy8ZZLOsw5EzZAReL2BX_lJXusPX8v8bAKHTKcfmBwwNxm_7q1TR8ysgSpfkHO7i-R-3EBkaVBQkZTE8Y_kja60H7NVcz9Ds/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibsrqrCh54MDgoKBtQqzm6OaQ6VtmE_r6MRvDaQu0c6u1aqR1SvXlpghEjliyhHP7nhLNd0Pxmmby4ETXSKNjU-WbmFXohtGCUFu0O5EC2PRJFh5Bjze70LagjMKa31EEcUt06yc40-XQ/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjktziseKFy2bjLght4lteF7Id8o4tOs2VAdWMwRJgVHoEyORLaHbeJWKiqx5jpfjzYw3JaA-wxCVjg9BBhmAdOzrZQuM1PbWCaMsjvwiSPizlLMF1MLW6gDEbrA6fAkZYlM2r3fy5x0HU/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="275" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjktziseKFy2bjLght4lteF7Id8o4tOs2VAdWMwRJgVHoEyORLaHbeJWKiqx5jpfjzYw3JaA-wxCVjg9BBhmAdOzrZQuM1PbWCaMsjvwiSPizlLMF1MLW6gDEbrA6fAkZYlM2r3fy5x0HU/w273-h205/image.png" width="273" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here are other molds available shown on the back of the box.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKMNhGuDXUjQqWC0JOkyhp7FbkXg8Hh41nJBIOhNydrCj0ehNLh5bvNdapb-mcYgrslaB3gPc-HmN7BHesWYOv_YWqtQ3rZ5Ef8WGVJzLUJZ-UelwUZp2TWJj2oO5xGKj1VU8N4N29H8M/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="275" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKMNhGuDXUjQqWC0JOkyhp7FbkXg8Hh41nJBIOhNydrCj0ehNLh5bvNdapb-mcYgrslaB3gPc-HmN7BHesWYOv_YWqtQ3rZ5Ef8WGVJzLUJZ-UelwUZp2TWJj2oO5xGKj1VU8N4N29H8M/w241-h181/image.png" width="241" /></a></div><br /></div><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Click on picture for a larger viewThe grandmommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13174644267350343828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3108882356153962071.post-71482799384151311622021-02-18T17:42:00.009-08:002021-02-18T18:27:05.763-08:00DAWNING OF AN AWNING!

If you like, the Life Water bottle can be used because it has a raised symbol of a lizard on it if you can see that. To keep that symbol visible you may want to use some kind of paint instead of fabric. First I cut off the very top, then cut just above the label with the blade. There is a little ridge there so it makes it easy to cut.

What I have been doing over the past couple of years is working on something until I get bored or stumped. Then, start on something new. So currently I have so many unfinished projects I have decided to get on the ball and update some of them.</div><div><br /></div><div>However, I am going need to some help getting motivated. Please help me by giving ideas, recommendations and comments on these partially finished projects! Please excuse the mess this is a work in progress. 😊</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #d52c1f; font-size: x-large;"><u>PROJECT NUMBER 1</u></b></div><div><b style="color: #d52c1f; font-size: x-large;"><u><br /></u></b></div><div>This is a "group home" for girls. The young ladies needed a place to stay for various reasons. They are not "bad girls", but they have had their share of troubles. I bought some of those ceremic dolls you see here with no idea what I was going to do with them. So I just stuck them in this house. One day I was walking past when the idea came to me that this could be a group home. The girls seem to have such forlorn expressions. Having worked in one when I was a very young lady, I got to work planning things.</div><div><br /></div><div> Most of the wallpaper was in the house when I purchased it and decided not to change it. (I only like assembled houses. One day I may put together a kit or even design and assemble one). I don't mind putting together a roombox. <a href="http://bigandlittlecreations.blogspot.com/search?q=chess">You can see one here</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> It was originally called the Happy House. Because the of the inspiring and cheerful wall decor I have ready to be posted on the walls. What I want to add is that I purposely didn't give it a modern look. Most services of this kind rely on funding and as such not able to redecorate or add regularly.</div><div><br /></div><div>The yellow paint used on the exterior is some that was in my paint stash purchased long ago. It will be surrounded with lovely landscaping. I will show the front in another post. It is so hard to turn around.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are various things lying around I thought would fit in well at some point.</div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSpNZekDqA7rV5i6vW7CXEkqdoVNj4EUOZL0pJVYQogvVQ_siJRSBBNhojtGCOlQBIUjayRmI5KIJ5M8OBiItwZRz3cwXc-XCCB8EspJEn6mAOoGw7LHJv1ky5x_gh7j2mZTsS_VVAlI/s3264/IMG_20200705_155439.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSpNZekDqA7rV5i6vW7CXEkqdoVNj4EUOZL0pJVYQogvVQ_siJRSBBNhojtGCOlQBIUjayRmI5KIJ5M8OBiItwZRz3cwXc-XCCB8EspJEn6mAOoGw7LHJv1ky5x_gh7j2mZTsS_VVAlI/w256-h192/IMG_20200705_155439.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the<b> social worker's</b> office.

You may not be able to see, but there is a bulletin board on the wall above the desk. I also have some inspirational posters to put up. There are items on the desk (a computer mouse, desk pad, notebook a box of tissues). I also have a waste basket a few books. And of course curtains are coming. The rug is printed paper.

The door knob is a bead painted gold. Now, I see it is somewhat shorter than the window. Thinking of putting an Exit sign above it to even things out. If you have another idea please let me know. I thought about adding a door sweep at the bottom. Not sure if I can remove the door at this point in order to do that.</div><div>What else would you add to this room? </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>This is one of the bedrooms. The dresser and chest are from Dollar Tree which I painted to match the headboard also from Dollar Tree and painted. I made the comforters and pillows on the beds. many years ago when I decided to make several of them. I could only find the one matching pillow and can't find any more of that fabricin my stash. I will just have to make it a solid color. The rug is a piece of fabric with added fringe and trim. Here is<span style="text-align: center;"> the base I used for the beds. It was special ordered from Dollar tree along with the headboard next to it. They came in a combination in a box of 12. Having a hard time getting more now. I used little pieces of wood for the legs.

Hi everybody!<br />
<br />
I have made little progress since my declaration. I am pleased I got at least a little done. Here is my current progress as promised.<br />
<br />
A couple of years ago, I saw container looking very much like this one in a recycle bin. I tried to ignore it, but it kept whispering<i>-kitchen.</i> I checked it for the recycle number. There wasn't one and it appeared not to be within the levels my town collects. So I rescued it.<br />

I had to figure out exactly what it meant by "kitchen" knowing it had to do with minis. When I brought it home and placed it in the <a href="http://bigandlittlecreations.blogspot.com/2018/01/i-am-having-such-difficult-time-with.html" target="_blank">cat house</a>, I knew! The width was perfect although it was a little low for the dolls. <br />

I didn't want them burning their knees while cooking, so these two pieces of foam core are going to be glued together then added to the bottom of the unit to lift the kitchen unit.<br />

There is one thing this project is teaching me. Be precise. Drawing straight lines and cutting them are not my forte as you can see with the foam core (no worries it will be covered). I learned to take my time and use as many steps are required to get things straight. Be patient. Make as many careful pass throughs with your cutting tool as you need. I used to make a few then bend the piece back and try to break it apart. Now, I will make passes until I cut it completely off.<br />
<br />
Since this is going to be a gourmet kitchen, it needs a six burner cooktop. It is simply a googled picture printed on photo paper reinforced with cardboard because it will be over a hole. One day I just might make one from scratch. I plan to make a large sink to go into the other hole. The backsplash tile will be this gray base with a combination of muted colors. Also, photo paper printed google pics. The sides are cut out like notches to match up better.<br />

The label was unyielding when I tried to take it off. So, I decided to spray stainless steel appliance paint over the paper and all. Big mistake! The paper began to bubble. There was nothing else to do except to try to remove the paper. Ugh! It came out looking like this.<br />

Ugh! Ugh! I tried using a p220 grit sandpaper to get it off. It didn't budge. Next, I skipped to 80 grit. Nope. My next attempt will be with a sander. I will be back with the results.<br />
Wish me luck!<br />

Here is a snapshot of the bedroom so far. There is a matching comforter that needs to be adjust because it is a little too big.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Recently, I took a look around at my dollhouses. All are pretty much unfinished projects. Shame on me. As most of you know,I don't enjoy building houses from scratch so I purchase them pre-owned and perform a house-ectomy on them. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have vowed: </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">IN THIS YEAR OF OUR LORD, 2019, I resolve that, I, T</span><span style="font-size: large;">he Grandmommy,</span><span style="font-size: large;"> shall complete and make available for view as many projects as I can. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am showing this video here to put myself and my resolution up for public scrutiny and hopefully encouragement. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hereby promise I will make available, updates and completions as they occur.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For some of these projects it means gluing and or waxing some items down as, when they are turned to view the interior, everything falls. For others it may be pretty near refurbishment. In this process, I intend to </span><span style="font-size: large;">new</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">try</span><span style="font-size: large;"> things </span><span style="font-size: large;">and</span><span style="font-size: large;"> l</span><span style="font-size: large;">earn a lot</span><span style="font-size: large;">.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is just a small portion of my projects. As you can see, there are 1:12 and 1:6 scales. A few smaller ones will get attention later.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I had better get busy!</span></div>

Hi Everybody!<br />
<br />
I am trying to get back into my blog which I enjoy so much. Life keeps interfering, but there are so many great ideas to share!<br />
<br />
Look forward to seeing posts of my current projects. I also need some of your opinions on a couple of them. As always, I am working on more than one. Also on the list is to complete all of the partially completed projects.<br />
<br />
I saw these ideas while surfing. Don't you think this would look awesome in an outdoor scene? Although it is beyond my skill set, I know some of you will find this super easy.<br />
<br />
If anyone decides to make one please share! I would love to see them.<br />
<br />
You may find other interesting things on the website for your mini and average life.<br />
<br />
Tell me what you think!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a great guideline for designing for this time period. I saw the movie and loved it. You can see it on Youtube. I learned a lot from this video. Hope you do too!</span></div>

Sorry for the sizing. For some reason I couldn't get it to fit in the space.</div>
