Candy House Week

This week in my free time I worked on The Candy House.  I finally finished the gardens under the windows in the front.  It felt really good to finish them- I never imagined how many little green leaves I would end up needing!

I also started working on a birdbath for the front yard of the house.  My friend Katie from Katie's Clay Corner sent me a couple of board game pieces from the game Candyland.  I used one of them for a sign on the bakery dollhouse and I saved the other piece to use on this house.  I'm in the middle of this project- eventually the entire birdbath will be gray concrete and I'm going to try and fill the bowl with resin to look like water.  It is a little out of scale, but other things in this house are too because it is made for a small doll that a friend gave to me named Amelie. 

I painted and installed the missing trim in the inside of the house and finished grouting the kitchen floor and wall.  The wallpaper is bubbling in the playroom but thankfully a big cupboard goes on that wall so I'm not going to worry about it.

Now I'm ready to finish up the inside of the house.  I started with the bedroom.  I had a few pieces for that room that I needed to paint so that rounded out my projects for the week.  I painted a couple of hat boxes, the inside of a cupboard I had started long ago, a couple of clogs that were sent to me by my sweet friend Dani and  a cradle that holds Amelie's favorite doll.  The pillow in the cradle was made by Kat from Little Thoughts From an Average Mind.  The stitching is perfect.

Here they all are in the house

I'll see you next week with what I manage to get done on The Steampunk House :)
