Mediterranean Decor

Inspired by this picture I decided to make a decoration for the Mediterranean house. I took some thin wire (26) and shaped it to the pattern I designed, see below.For the 'fleur-de-lis'  I used a card to punch out the shape and glued to the wires. Then painted it black and a coating of matt varnish to simulate iron wrought.

Manor House sittingroom, Which way????

I placed some furniture in the sittingroom, but cannot decide on the way to place them

Which way do you think? Photo 1 or photo 2?

And below you can see some of the glass paperweights that my friend Carol made for me!

New Kit Finished

Today I finished this kit from In Some Small Way.The kit came with fabric but I decided to use my own for the Manor Sunroom.

Here it is in place, few pillows needed and its complete.

A closer look.

Two friends sitting here, one is stitching, the other is reading. Both eating chocolates and drinking coffee.

New Dollhouse and pithoi

I have been working on a new dollhouse lately, its a weekly magazine with parts of the dollhouse kit and furniture. Just past the 65th week, so started to assemble it. Here is a sneak peak :) More pictures soon....

Now this is the loveliest pot ( I fell in love with it! In Greek 'pithoi') and have a plant in mind for it, can you guess which one?

The pot stands 2 1/2 inches tall (or 6 1/2 cms if you prefer metric)

Below is a life size one
