Grab Bags! The Dollhouse Saga

I am so excited! The $5 grab bag I ordered from Just Miniature Scale arrived! I bought four bags. They did an excellent job of mixing it all up. 

There are a few items that I am not keeping. I might do a giveaway. Let me know what you think!

More Harry Potter: The Dollhouse Saga

My Etsy order finally arrived! I ordered the cutest stuff from Shrinking Violet Creations to finish off the Cupboard Under the Stairs. She packaged it all so nicely.

The little stickers are so unbearably cute! I am going to make a placard with them. 

Here is a sneak peek at part of the room

I need to make a side table to hold the pot of tea and the issue of the Quibbler. Also thinking of making a tiny scarf and the stand for Hedwig still needs to be made too. At least I can make those at the dining room table so as not to bother the kittens.

Late Spring Garden

Today was a huge harvest from my garden. I started a garden subscription box to maybe add a little variety to what I grow. I saw leaf’d box  on Facebook and decided what the heck, it could be cool. had never grown endive or radicchio and was excited at how beautiful they grew

Radicchio 

Endive


I have so much of these so I searched for recipes. Here are two I plan on trying.

 

Quick Sauté with Chicken and Endive

Roasted Radicchio

I also harvested bunching onions, lettuce, fennel, cabbage, beets, bok choy, and kale. So. Much. Kale. Thank goodness I love it!

Almost forgot the beans and peas! I am making pickled beets and can’t wait to eat them.

Soon I will have tons of squash as the blossoms have started forming. Yum! The broccoli has also started making tiny florets. 

Happiness achieved.

A Mouse In The House: The Dollhouse Saga

I am not going to be able to do much work on the dollhouse as a feral cat had kittens so I moved her and her kittens into the office. She is hating me and all hissy so I am trying to give her peace and quiet. 

I did do a little bit of hand sewing though. I had purchased a mouse for the dollhouse and it had a really ugly purple sweater on that did not go with the gold hat it was wearing. So I used my fave Debbie Mumm bee fabric to make her a new outfit. 

I cute out a little bee from the fabric and glued it on her hat. I think she is so dang cute!

Now here is a gratuitous kitten pic

Momma was really unhappy that I took a picture. 

So I will let her be and in a couple weeks I can work on the dollhouse again. Wish me luck in taming her!
