A lot of us are sitting in rain, windstorms or tornadoes right now, since the damned planet is about to tear itself friggen asunder!!! er... sorry.. just not ready for global wa'ba < reference ;P
Any whoooosss..
Some of you may remember the first dollhouse I made for my daughter the fairy dollhouse from scratch:
While my daughter played with this over the last year she also grew and her imaginary stories became more elaborate. She asked if we could "change" some of the things in the dollhouse.
When I asked, she started naming more modern things like refrigerators and faucets, so we broke out the old puzzle piece furniture from Michaels and started working.
My daughter is only 6 years old and at this point she is still using small dolls like Lalaloopse dolls and the like so using the puzzle pieces works for the scale. Lets not forget that for this transitional project where my daughter is painting furniture we do not have to consider the big spend..yet.
She decided on painting each room a different color and we are slowly adding details as she asks for them, a few clay items a few scraps, magazine clippings.
I now have a nice list on the wall which she writes random items on in the morning, I am trying to have them completed when she gets home from school but the list is growing *lol*
I hope you are high and dry, we are about to get flooded ;(
Hello Jane,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have a project grow along with the child. It will be a beautiful memory.
Big hug,
Giac
Thank you, I hope she remembers this when she's a 16 year old terror ;P
DeleteThe house was and is darling! I love the new colors, and those Lalaloopsy dolls are adorable! What scale are those Michael's puzzle piece furniture? So fun! xo Jennifer
ReplyDeleteThey are around 1/2 scale. I originally got them to fix up and do shadow boxes with but like all things mini if I find a use they go ;P
DeleteYour daughter is so lucky to have such a crafty and creative mom!

Thanks honey ;) *hug*
DeleteOoh, I wish I had something like this growing up. I used to play with Lego Belleville "dolls" but never had an actual dollhouse. I hope that weather on your end settles down soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat project you are sharing with you daughter.
ReplyDeleteI can remember doing the same with my gran as a child and those memory have stayed with me as some of my most special times. I am sure your daughter will keep these memory's close too. Have fun, the both of you. x
ReplyDeleteYou're a good mom,Jane. You're building beautiful memories with your daughter. I had never heard of those Lalaloopsy dolls! They're so cute! Since my granddaughters are now adults, I don't keep in touch with the toy market anymore. Just waiting for the great grandchildren! Then I'll start being informed again.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very cute dollhouse.

So cute! I love that she is writing down her wishlist and you are fulfilling it! These will be some wonderful memories for her to cherish! :)
ReplyDeleteit's very cute are those lala loopsy dolls?
ReplyDeleteMa è una bellissima cosa progettare insieme a tua figlia, sicuramente anche quando sarà grande manterrà questo bel ricordo. Mi diverte che scrivi che compila una lista giornaliera, mi immagino quante cose!!Comunque bella idea di fare la casa di diversi colori è molto divertente e allegra. Un abbraccio, Manu
ReplyDeleteOh how great it is to hear how you enjoy your common interest together. A very nice dollhouse. Enjoy your lovely daughter, suddenly one day she is an adult.

A cute house for a lovely little girl. I'll pray that you won't get floaded.

It's great that you and your daughter can share creativity and imagination, you are building wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteA Big Mini Hug
awww. I love the little house. She won't remember it much when she's 16, but she will when she's 26. ;)
ReplyDeleteBe careful and stay safe with this crazy weather we're having!!
Doing the Un-Rain dance for you in between draining our water front property. Stay safe and dry. And Such a good mommy to try to keep up with her list. I'm sure it changes or gets longer often, but it looks fun!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute...and a lovely Mother and Daughter project. My mother is 74, and I'm still trying to get her to come around to my mini hobby. So far, no dice.
ReplyDeleteStay high, and dry!
Vicki
Thank you , I also hope that my daughter will continue with the mini love as she grows ;) We are on both ends of it ;P
DeleteYour daughter made you a "Honey-do list" for her dollhouse.
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable. XD
Ha! it sure is and she gets pissed if I don't do the ones she at least mentions *lol*
Deletec'est une maison "magique" très belle, elle évolue avec les demandes de votre fille.
ReplyDeleteJ'ai connu ça avec la mienne qui est une jeune femme maintenant, des souvenirs qui restent gravés à jamais !
En espérant que la météo redevienne favorable et que l'eau vous épargne. rosethé
Merci Rosethé, j'espère que ce sont de bons souvenirs pour elle d'avoir!
DeleteВы замечательная мама! Это так важно, что бы мама и дочка, вдвоем занимались одним делом!
ReplyDeleteВаш домик замечательный. Мне нравятся разноцветные комнаты!
