What have I been doing?....

-
.....Not a lot! It's my daughter Sophie's 16th Birthday tomorrow and I have been getting things organized for that.
Above is a picture of my other daughter Amy in my doll room. I said I was going to take some pictures and little miss vanity had to 'help'!!!!

 Started moving in the dolls.... these are some that I could not fit on to my 'waiting' shelves (where dolls will wait when not in play)
 When I was showing you my pictures the other day I forgot to show you Neal and Sarah's living room....

 The hospital is starting to take shape
 This is the Barbie Boutique it has a elevator which I like a lot! Need to remove one of the 'struts' (bits of wood) so it can fit in properly. Then I need to decide... do I live the boutique UP so the top floor is level with upper floor..... OR do I put in STEPS to the upper level? Any suggestions happily received.



 
Check out the green toilet (you know I love my toilets LOL) the wash stand with price tariff and green chair. I understand these are quite hard to find? I got them on Evil Bay last week I think they are Dutch? Anyone know anything about them?

 Sorry not got these pictures in order but this is going back to the Boutique and shows steps leading up to the second level from the top of the boutique (one of my options?)

 Had a little sort out of the nursery stuff
 My wallpaper collection is STILL expanding even though I told myself no more!

    This is really amazing. I'm so jealous. I think steps would work great for the boutique.

    This is really coming on a treat.

    I hope Sophie has a wonderful birthday. Look forward to seeing your pics of that.

    I tried leaving a post on the last update, but it got erased and I didn't it. So I will say the say thing I said last time. "Wow, you have made a lot of progress!" My new comment for this post is "I can't believe you are still buying toilets". LOL! I'm sure the boutique will look nice either way.

    Wow, your room is so amazing. Oh those floors in Neal and Sarah's living room. *drooool* I'd like those in 1:1 scale!

    Happy Birthday Sofie and Happy Mother's day to you.

    Such adorable girls. How on earth to you keep their hands off YOUR toys? (I'm a mother of two girls under two, so I'm taking notes!)

Simple Wardrobes And Storage

I have a TON of doll clothing and after years of rummaging through bags and never finding what I'm looking for or even remembering what I have so I thought it was time I made some quick, simple and cheap storage.  The cheapest is to use a doll box and just fit a bar for hanging but I wanted something just a little more so this is what I came up with.... You will need Foamcore board I used 5mm thick board 60cm x 84cm Foam 2 Foam glue You can use any glue but this works best I think Ruler Tape measure Pencil Something sharp to cut with (craft knife Cutting board I have a big board but a smaller one would work Metal ruler if possible (Helps with cutting a straight line)  The rods are the metal rods from the Integrity Doll stands. They are great as they are adjustable.  All of the above can be found on E.Bay or craft stores I'm giving you the sizes I use but you can make your units any size you wish. Measure 40cm longways mark and cut put other piece of board t

Painting Plastic

I've touch on this before but here I will go through the prose step by step... First up room temperatures. Even before you start if you are going to use spray paint then outside or a well ventilated room is a must. Not hot, not cold and not raining. Oh, and no wind...very important no wind if spraying outside... not an issue if working indoors. Remember the sprays do like to float about a bit and all surfaces need to be covered or use a spray box. This can be just an old cardboard box or something you make yourself. My table in the garden is just for spraying and is well away from the plants etc Another must is a mask, I do a lot so mines a bit fancy (I also have Asthma) but a basic mask from your local DIY would be fine  Spray paints are easy enough to find just look around your local DIY or craft store, there is also E.Bay and Amazon.  Start by cleaning what you want to paint then once dry I always use a primer, they come in three colours white, brown and
