Dream Pink Workspace

It's all right to dream once in a little while yes?

Right now, this is my dream workspace :)

I'm pretty sure I would run out of space to store my craft materials if I have this workspace, but I just love how you can close the shutters and everything is out of sight...

Have a great weekend all!

Dollhouse Miniature Menu Chalkboard

This dollhouse miniature menu chalkboard was another impromptu experiment that I did one day. While building Ruki's bakery shelf and thinking of the arrangement of things, I had many ideas that came into my mind. But this particular idea of a menu chalkboard was just the last thing that popped into my mind.

When I saw a graphic design of a menu chalkboard, I kind of knew that this was what I wanted to try making.

I don't exactly know how I ended up with a very Zakka inspired menu chalkboard, but I am really loving it as it has this antique charm and feel to it which fits the bakery pretty nicely. This shade of brown breaks away from the overall antique brown concept, and thus giving it a life of its own.

And if you think I was crazy with the trailing english ivy plant on the top, I actually did see it on the graphic picture that inspired me in the first place, so I followed along.

I love plants and this was just perfect for me, as it combines all the elements of things in real life that I so adore.

Boy, I was glad that it did stand on its own!

Sunday Experiments - French Chic Dollhouse Miniatures

Sunday was a day of rest and experimenting on some dollhouse miniatures.  I treasure such rest days, and I'm especially grateful that the weather has been a bit kinder these few days with some showers and overcast sky, which makes crafting a lot more pleasurable ;)


(It's raining heavily now as I type this) 


One of the things I enjoy is putting together a few items that resembles a mini scene that I've seen in those home decor magazines.

I've seen similar enamel kitchenware with this french chic label often in magazines and therefore I came up with this of my own.

I can imagine this in your french chic /zakka style kitchen setting.

I hope this makes you smile :)
