This blog is about my love for dollhouses and miniatures in 1:12th scale. I've started with this hobby a long time ago and ever since, I've learned a lot about this hobby, but mostly I've learned to get to love that little world more and more. It's magic, it's an escape from the real world, it's just the way I want it and nobody get's hurt in this world, no bad..

Hi everyone
after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to no longer continue my blog for different reasons, one of them being that so few people seem to show interest in my miniatures
I wanna thank my few followers for being here
I intended to continue my Pinterest Boards, but in the end I decided to delete those too, since the problem is the same ... not enough people showing interest and it has just become too frustrating
I will keep my dollhouses and simply continue to work on those from time to time, but other than that, I'm giving up making miniatures after 25 years
It might se ..read more

Hi everyone
I recently posted this on FB and it seemed that my little jam jars are quite a success
I wanna thank you all for your kind words and I hope you enjoy the little labels I sent you
This is not really a tutorial, but just a quick explanation on how I made these little jam jars
First, here's the link to where I found these tiny glass bottles,
which come in various sizes and shapes by the way.

Hi everyone
I'm currently working on a new project, which is a little miniature B&B (Bed & Breakfast)
I made lots of stuff already for my future guests ?, including a little bread box
The one I made for my B&B is still 1:12th scale of course, but maybe slightly bigger than a "normal" bread box you'd have in your kitchen, so you can always make it a tiny bit smaller of course
It's quite an easy project and I wanted to share it with you
So let's go for it
First here's the list of materials you'll need
Mat Board 1,5 mm thick
Sanding paper or nail file
X-acto Knife
Metal rul ..read more

Here's another tutorial requiring mostly metal beads and metal bead caps, which are widely available on the Internet and really not that expensive.
This tutorial has been published in A.M. magazine and I'm glad to share it here on my blog with those who don't have access to the magazine

Have fun
