English Some good finds
I used to study Japanese at the uni, so sometimes I check on Japanese mini blogs. This one is one of the new ones I found and loved:-
My first article dollplanet

First blanket finished
I love uploading pictures! That’s why you see lot of them in my blog!:) As it was very lazy day, I decided to finish the blanket. I’m almost satisfied, I love Russian ornaments and all, but this blanket, firstly it reminded me of Christmas time, remember all those nice sweaters? Then, when I finished I thought – it looks like a sleeve of a shirt, shirt in Russian style:)
First Blanket
When it’s quiet at home, when you’re tired of everything and just want to spend sometime alone.
Enough of words, I love embroidery! In my doll’s house there should be a lot of it – blankets, towels, tablecloths, curtains.
I started with blankets for the bedroom on the second floor, I think I’ll finish it in couple days. I got through some antique Russian ornaments of 18th century and here’s the part of what I’ve done:
The ornament is easy, also I’m not sure if it would be on the bed or somewhere in the chests:)

First floor
The first floor is finished.
Yay! Next on my list – the balcony and the roof.
Балясины. Снова.
Sorry for not posting anything new lately, I’m quite busy with my graduation work, though it’s second, it’s still lot of things to do.
We’ve finished the parquetry, I’m not going to use it in my doll’s house, it’s just for fun. Now it’s sandpapered and covered with beeswax.
I also finished making the balusters for the balcony, well I need to make two, that will be a bit bigger, so the whole picture would be something like this:
As you can see, the first and the last balusters are bigger, which makes the whole composition very nice.
For now, nine balusters are ready.
I really enjoy working on mini lathe, it takes time to learn but the result is worth it, besides I like the process too:)
Parquetry in Miniature
We became huge fans of miniature parquetry!:) Several patterns are made, some amazing pictures downloaded.
Starting from the easiest one:
It’s 15cm x 15cm. White oak.
Slow Progress
Hope I’ll have some good balusters for the balcony one day.
In Progress
Finished one half of the facade. Almost. I didn’t expect it would take so much time. This was supposed to be fun!;)
Today I was watching “Woodturning for furniture”, so I’m playing with lathe again – making the blank for claw foot. Doesn’t look good for me, it’s a long road.
