Oh Agnes! 🤗 SO VERY KIND! 🥰✨

Hi Julie🤗 Thank you so much my friend. Little by little... literally! Haha 😂 I like the way the mirror reflects the images on the privacy screen. 🥰✨

I love these ideas! Spoiler alert- I have been working on doing just these very things. I'm practicing cutting leaves from various material. I read that dipping actual plant leaves in wax will preserve them. Thank you for sharing. I will use these techniques in an upcoming project! 🥰✨

@@thedollcupboard glad to share, I love your videos and cute little projects you do, thank you 😊

Thank you so much! 🤗Obsessively making more of these.. trying to improve them 😍✨

😂😂😂 Right Katia?! Gertrude..I think I'll keep her on for a double shift. She can fix the baby with the broken arm. 🥰✨

Well isn't that just a splendid idea! 🤗 I hope I can get my brain to remember that 🤣 Do you make stained glass? When think about making something, my brain says, how hard can that be? Then my fingers say, really hard! 😂 Thank you so much for your encouragement! 🥰✨

@@thedollcupboard I started doing stained glass about 20 years ago. Started out with copper foil method, then learned to make my own patterns, then mosaic, then learned leaded. Never got a chance to do hot glass work with a kiln, though. I don't do near as much as I used to, but it's definitely a skill set that I like having in my wheelhouse. 😁

@@1finepieceofglass 🤩✨Amazing!✨ I never tire hearing about how creative people are. 🥳

Thank you SO MUCH Kim! 😍 I'm glad you like the mirror. I'm not sure.. I think I'd like to try the flower petals on something else. They are a little translucent and glasslike. They'd make good stained glass. Love to hear about the upcycle project you're working on. 🥰✨

@@thedollcupboard I am doing 2 at once, a 1930s Nebraska house set in the 60s, in finishing phase, and a 1800s Pennsylvania house set in 1915ish...still under construction. The latter is my find of the year! But rough, really rough. I am using gator board for new walls and doors for the first time, and battery lights, and making stuff from castoffs and broken bits. I have three sinks with no faucets!

@@thedollcupboard I wonder if you could use a little gesso to help with the mirror.....

Oh Kathleen, you are SO SWEET AND KIND to me ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ❤️ Believe me, the way my videos should go is 15 min of mistakes and errors with an outtake of a finished project. LOL. If you were to ask me how I went about cutting those angles I would have no idea what to tell you. I actually feel my brain get stuck with some measuring issues. I just console myself with a "close enough". 😂 Ooh, you're in the forest? Very cool! 99 is pretty hot 🥵 We're near the coast (but in enough to escape constant fog) and mostly in the 70s. 80s is my ideal. Thank you for being such a good friend and spurring me on. I wouldn't be able to do it without the support here in YT. There is no one in my immediate world here to share my love of minis. My husband thinks I'm nuts. 😂 Lots of love to you! 😘🥰✨

Hi Agnes🤗 (Ooh, I just love the name Agnes😍). I'm so glad you're subscribed and visiting! Please stop by any time! There are no obligations here at all. I am just sharing my trials as an amateur dollhouser and doll collector. Learning so much! 🥰✨

Aw thank you so much Eve! 🤗 How are your projects coming along? 🥰✨

@@thedollcupboard I am making peg dolls with movable arms and legs,never made them before,they have always been a solid peg.I am living with my daughter,I have a small room so a dolls house is out of the picture.Had to give mine away,so just making tiny people for now.Love what you do,you are so clever,and your ideas are amazing.I wish I would have found your channel when I had my dolls houses. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Suzanne🤗 It was somewhat fruitless to use the bougainvillea on the frame, especially since there was barely an edge 😂 My approach is often.. "why not?". I like to try things to see how materials behave (or don't) then try them again on other things. 🥰✨

Indeed! Who has time for cleaning paintbrushes (and skin) ?! 🤣🥰✨

@@thedollcupboard oh yeah lol

My mind was in a whirl Jules😂 I don't really understand how to go about getting it all to match up. I'm more of a "close enough" person rather than a "measure twice cut once" person 🤣 Some kinds of measuring are just physically painful, don't you think? 😘✨

I have that too! But the dog doesn't jump on the table where I'm working 😂 Tell me about your pup 🥰✨

@@thedollcupboard jojo is almost 20yrs old and only just really slowing down she sleeps alot now too she is mostly border terrier x Jack Russell I can't really see in her . She's been a great companion to me all these years love her ❤

@@jojosmumdorothy2829 🥰 Love our fur babies right?!

@@thedollcupboard sure do x

It's not often my brain works in this useful fashion, but I'm so grateful when it does. ( I'm afraid my children have turned it to mush long ago) 🤣🥰✨

LOLOLOL! I do love some punny cheek😂😘

@@thedollcupboard I love word play I can't help myself lol xx

Hello Dolly Dorothy😉😘✨

Hi Lorraine! 🤗 It was so fun using that dimensional magic. I can see myself trying it some more. Is it just a resin/epoxy I wonder. I love the cast iron pieces even though they are lacking detail. The sink is definitely smaller than 1:12 (1:16 I would guess). I hope you're having a gorgeous summer day! 🥰✨

Thank you! The little pieces I added could be easily taken off if someone wanted to restore it to its original state 😳 LOL. I just love those cast iron pieces for some reason. 🥰✨

@@thedollcupboard They're old, durable, and have their own charm.💕💖

Thank you Vicki! 🤗 I think so too. I need to remember to go through my doll magazines more often for prints and cutouts. Hope you're having the loveliest summer day! 🥰✨

Hahaha😂 I hope so too Diane. I have a new project coming up (hopefully) with some on-the-ground finds. 🤞🏻Now, if I could only get Gertrude to wear clothes. Oh well, baby steps. 😂🥰✨

Hi Grace! Ya! I do put the wax on the frame vs the wall, not sure what I did there. 🤔 I was putting things up temporarily. The Matte paint and dark color didn't help. I used putty this time and a nail for the mirror but I do need to redo the wall as it looks awful with the marks 🤣 I'm glad I kept it removable. I've started to become more aware of how my sticky, gluey fingers get mess all over my projects. I'm trying to use tweezers more. Try as I might I'm just a messy kind of person🤣 My brain is always 10 steps ahead of my fingers. LOL! I'm having fun trying new things and seeing if my ideas work. 🥰✨

@@thedollcupboard I think you did a great job . I’m just like you messy no matter how hard I try to be neat 🤣🤣😂😂

Thanks Mary🤗 So many details to attend to- it's so much fun! 🥰✨

Me, too. Her enthusiasm is contagious.

Aw Katie, that is the sweetest comment! 🤗 Thank you so very much! 🥰✨

Thank you Grace🤗 I love your baskets! Watching this made me want to make another larger one 🥰✨

Hi🤗 Ya! I use mine old kitchen tools also but I use my Kitchen Aid too! 🤭 I made even more of these tools..I couldn't help myself. 😂🥰✨

I really enjoyed this project even though it was slow. I had never made baskets as a child. The tiny ones are more difficult. 🤣 Keep me posted Mary 🥰✨

Thanks Dorothy🤗It's so much easier with video magic. LOL 😂🥰✨

Aw thanks Romona🤗 This was such a fun project. 🥰✨

It was so much fun to see it materialize🤗 Thanks for watching. 🥰✨

It's my favorite, of course! 😍✨

Haha- well, a field nurse at least. 🤣✨🥰

You're so kind D🤗

Thanks so much 😊😍

Thanks so much D😍 I can't believe the state they were in when I was given them. A little bath does anyone a lot of good! 😂🥰✨

Aw thanks Maroulio🤗 That's so kind of you to say. The dolls are so fun, I never get bored! 🥰✨

Thanks Vicki! 🤗 I'm thinking of giving Millie some hair..what do you think? 😬 Poor dear.😍✨

Yes! This is a great idea which never comes to mind when I need it 🤣 🥰✨

I watched my friend Deb from Dolls House Dilemmas make them and knew I had to have a go. For some reason I only made 2. 🤣 The dolls need at least one more. 😂😍✨

Oh yes, please try and tell me all about it! I am obsessively making more, trying to improve. Let me know how yours turn out, techniques you use etc. 🥰✨

Thanks so much NShadow🤗 Hope to always have that sense of play. 🥰✨
