Round Table
Yesterday I started making round table. I made the leg and the top:
Очередные находки
So I had some pine wooden strips that I didn’t like and I was wrong! Because later I found out it was not pine but beech wood. So we bought several more, our kitten loved them.
I also found a good place in Moscow to buy basswood, they are cut and polished to the size. Guess it’s time to try some carving.
Kitchen stool- almost there
I’ve finished assembling the stool, looks okay to me. At least, I’ve never made it before, whole new experience, and I’m feeling excited about the process. I haven’t done any finishing yet, so the table looks darker:
I think I need to make 5-10 more to make it perfect:)
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:)
