Quarter Scale Jasmine Gothic House

 

 This is a quarter scale Victorian Gothic house that I am working on. 

It is a great laser cut kit from Laser Dollhouses http://www.laserdollhouses.com/ 

Leonard makes great dollhouse kits in 1", 1/2" and 1/4" sizes. 

 So far I have assembled two floors, added the flooring and wallpaper.  There is supposed to be two staircases in the main hall but I am considering leaving them out.  I also left out one wall to make the living room larger.

This is the front of the house so far.  I painted it a buttermilk color with light green and white trim.

I will post more photos as I progress.  

Have a wonderful day.

Fairy Cottage Quarter Scale

 This is a photo of my Fairy Cottage. 

It is a quarter scale kit by Suzanne and Andrews Minis.

The landscaping was very time consuming but I loved every minute of it. 

The bird bath had a bird by Mini Gems, Barbara Meyer.

Each paper punched flower was cupped with a stylus.  I used a colored pencil to all some color to the centers. 

The tree trunk is from twisted wire.

Cinderella by the wishing well.

The pond has resin "water" and two swans.

The stones were all made from paperclay.

Have a seat under the tree.

The bird feeder has a tiny cardinal.

Now that the landscaping is done, I am working on the interior furnishings. 

Next Wednesday, I am leaving for the NAME Lexington Kentucky Convention.  I plan to buy more goodies for my houses.

Thank you for visiting my Fairy Cottage.

Mini hugs,

Landscaping Pickett Hill

Landscaping my Pickett Hill quarter scale house has been challenging but fun.

I learned to make many...many hydrangeas and hollyhocks.

I have also displayed several of my tiny dolls that I purchased from Suzanne and Andrews Miniatures.

This is a picture of the front porch. 

The bird feeder is from Mini Gems, Barbara Meyer.  See the tiny bird on it too.

 

I had to have a garden gnome.  It is from Mini Gems too.

Through the garden arbor. 

 

Working in quarter scale is a challenge.  Maybe that is what I love so much about it. 

The interior of the house is almost finished.  I still have the bathroom fixtures to add.

 

Have a wonderful day!

 I have been working on landscaping my Pickett Hill quarter scale house.

These are hollyhocks that I finished.  They we quite a bit of work but I am happy with the result.

Tulips for spring

 Last week my friends and I got together to make some tulips.  We used the instructions in the book by Pepperwood miniatures.  Tulips are surprisingly easy to make.   

Enjoy!

Lydia Pickett Quater Scale..Finally put together!

 This house in an adorable quarter scale house kit that I bought from Suzanne Larson-Tamburo. 

It was a very detailed laser cut kit.  It took me a while to put it together, working on it occasionally over the past two years. 

 Now that the house is together, I have the landscaping and interior furniture to finish. 

This is a labor of love for sure. 

 

A view from the side of the house.

Ready to move in!

Progress with Quarter Scale Houses

 At the Chicago International show, I took this workshop by Suzanne Larson Tamburo.

It is a quarter scale adorable house called "Fairy Tales".

 I still have lots of landscaping to do as well as the interior to furnish.  It is coming along nicely.

The class was a two day workshop.  In that time we built the house,  made the paper clay tile roof, did all of the landscaping shown so far including the stone walls.  We even made the tree and a little pond for the swans.  If you ever get a chance to take one of Suzanne's workshops, I highly recommend it.  She is a fantastic teacher...and she gave us morning and afternoon snacks!

Enjoy!
