Prime Time

I would love to skip the sanding and priming part of my dining room furniture, but it has be done, and someone has to do it!

Guess that's me!










I'm going to paint everything white for now. The table may end up another color, depending on which fabric I decide to use on the chairs?

This fabric is 54" wide so it will only take one yard to recover for seats. :D






I also have some cute fish fabric that I could use on the chairs...

I'll have plenty of time to decide. I've got four chairs and a table to sand, prime and paint!

Hope you are having a beautiful day!

Table and Chairs

I know I said I was done with minis for a while... but I want to make a dining room table to go with the cute little chairs I bought. I need a place for my new dishes!


I'm still planning to try to make a table that looks like this one. I'll let you know how it goes.


Community Playthings makes wooden furniture for children. Simple and easy enough to copy in miniature?


I've always had a love for wood. My grandfather made many things with wood. I remember the smell of sawdust in his workshop. It is still one of my favorite scents!

I also have a child's wooden table and chair set that belonged to my children. They used it for everything from coloring to tea parties.

It looks just like this one. I'm saving it for my grandchildren.

I think children need simple toys. Handmade if possible. They bring out the natural creativity in a child much more than video games or television. They last longer too!

My kitchen counter and my desk are my workshop now. My dollhouse is my project. Maybe grandpa is looking down on me and smiling?
