Kitchen stool
The final semester is over, and I’m free till April! This means that I can get back to my dollshouse:) That’s a huge relief for me – last month was absolutely crazy ( I guess, this was my favorite word this year), I had no time at all. I hope that I’ll be posting lots of updates now.
This week started with the idea of making some furniture – I had a kitchen table made several months ago and its style doesn’t allow me to use it in the dollshouse, so why not making a roombox? I guess I’ll make it a kitchen. So I thought it would be nice to make couple of kitchen stools first.
Legs are almost done:
Dollshouse.tv
Just found some pretty interesting source – dollshouse.tv. It’s a subscription-based, and I really liked it! Lots of projects to make, interviews and such. I think I’ll need to buy a tablesaw!
Hardware Shopping
Recently I found pretty good store near my house, they sell a lot of router bits for Dremel and Proxxon, and also they sell some miniature hardware, which is a a bit out of scale for mini stuff, but sometimes it’d fit. And the price is good!
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
My article on lathe techniques is up on Dollplanet site:

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.
