Last day of National Dollhouse Miniature Month-Raggedy of course

Thought I’d end the month with a couple of my favorites.   Raggedy Ann and Andy were mounted with a quarter scale Empty display box.  The boxes are both wired with light.   

How I got them.  

Raggedy Ann all finished.

Raggedy Andy completed.

I hope you have enjoyed the month as much as I have.  Happy Halloween!!!!

I had to lighten up the picture so you could see all the items 

National dollhouse miniature month—Santa

I make a lot of miniatures  but seldom do I make dolls.  One of my favorite is Santa.  




Santa is 1/12 scale.  The sleigh is a Christmas ornament.  

National dollhouse miniature month - more Raggedy

I do a lot of Raggedy Ann projects—here’s another

Quarter scale.  

National dollhouse miniature month - swaps

How do you find all the stuff to furnish a mini scene???

Of course you can buy all the stuff you need to furnish a mini house but as you have probably figured out — I have a lot of miniature houses.  I found a better way.  There are many swaps groups that you can join in many scales.  Themes vary from group to group.   You make a number of items; send to swap master and you get that number back. 

Here’s just a few of the swaps I made

Tables 

Clocks 

Dressers and mirrors 

Quarter scale beds

Single view

Rugs and clock 

Pumpkins

Dog food and bones 

Wall shelves

Filled suitcase spaghetti with Parmesan cheese 

Lamps 

I have fun making swaps and receiving swaps.  

National dollhouse miniature month-yet another obsession Raggedy anns

You know I love antique shops and holiday stuff BUT I really REALLY love anything Raggedy Ann or Andy. 

Here’s my little Raggedy decorating store

Raggedy Ann is a little over 103 years old.  Still young to me.  

National dollhouse miniature month—guess what? More Christmas!!!

It’s pretty obvious that I love Christmas scenes.  This little scene is quarter scale and made in a dollar store gift box

This little scene always has a light in it.  Makes it easier to see everything in the room.  

Come back tomorrow and see if we’re still doing Christmas.  

National dollhouse miniature month-more Christmas!!

This little quarter scale scene was inspired by a frame I won on an auction.   I actually lost the bid but it turned out to be one of two frames and I got it!!!!  Seemed like a WIN!!!

I know it’s not Halloween yet buy I’m looking forward to Christmas!!!!

National dollhouse miniature month..more Christmas inspiration!!!

Sometimes you can have a few items that set the mood.  This scene captures that. 1/12 scale. 

I love Christmas.  It will be here before you know it.  

National dollhouse miniature month- Christmas inspiration!!!

This miniature scene was inspired by a Christmas card.  I carried it around for years and years and finally acquired a cigar box the same size as the card.  This is 1/12. 

Loved the card —really love the mini scene.
