Well, we have decorated the dolls house. In the end I haven't used any scrapbooking papers to decorate the rooms (because Charlotte is too impatient to wait for all that), I may add those at a later date. Mark has painted the entire house inside and out. It looks really great. I have painted every piece of little furniture so that it all looks cute and pretty. I have been down to the local craft shop to buy fabric and I have made new bedding for the little dolls - with fairies on, it is so cute! I also made a little wall hanging and picture for the bedroom wall.
Charlotte loves it. But it isn't finished yet. I want to get some felt for the floors and Mark has yet to paint the stairs. I also have some really old cross stitch magazines with some little charts in for cushions etc so I want to make some of those. Mum kindly gave me some fur fabric which I have made into little rugs and some pink fleece which I am going to use to make some blankets. I toyed with putting some rub-ons on the front of the house too but I know Charlotte will just scrape them off so I will need to get some varnish to go over them before I do that.
I also have some fabric to make curtains and cover the little sofa - so you see, there is still a lot to do but here it is so far:
It looks much more exciting now!
Go play!!!!!
As you can see the sofa is still red. Mum gave me some gorgeous damask fabric which I am going to use to cover the sofa and make curtains.
The fairy fabric with squares on was perfect for making the little quilts (which I have padded with Warm and Natural batting).
I wish it was mine!
Here are the last two layouts that I have done for Mojoholder. I have done quite a bit of scrapping this week but I can't share just yet ;)
Have a great weekend!

Wow the house is fab. We have the same one and I am now inspired to give it a lick of paint too! What did you use? Acrylic? Did you varnish it too? Thanks for sharing :)
