It's Time!

Yes, it's time for another . . .

THINK PINK IT'S FRIDAY!

Today it's for all the lovely caring mothers who cook for their family every day of the week and for those of you who simply just love to cook or bake!

What would look better in the kitchen than a PINK refrigerator!

 With a matching PINK oven!

And pretty PINK saucepans to cook with.

Of course you couldn't begin to cook without PINK knives to chop the meat and vegetables. 

 A stylish PINK mixer to make some lovely cupcakes with PINK icing, would be nice too!

 

If you're going to bake, you would probably need some PINK measure cups as well.

Of course you couldn't possibly get through the day, without a PINK kettle/jug to make your tea/coffee.

And lovely PINK spotted mugs to drink from.

Then after you've done all that, you can finally sit down and enjoy your cuppa with a yummy PINK strawberry cupcake . . .

. . . you can find the recipe on Sally's Baking Addiction.

Have a happy weekend everyone!

Big hugs,

Project: More 1:6 Scale Furniture (Part 2)

Yesterday afternoon, after I had finished the wardrobe, I painted the table and chairs midnight blue (a colour I mixed myself to match the fabric I'm going to use on the chairs). But I wasn't really pleased about the table looking just like a painted wooden table.

I had in mind something a bit different, like one that had a marble or granite top. So I pulled out these two Folk Art paints from my stash (#659 Metallic Pearl White and #660 Pure Gold) along with a couple of small pieces of sea sponge and began dabbing first with the Pearl and then while it was still wet I dabbed with the Gold.

You have to be very careful NOT to drag the sponge across your work, dab straight up and down, making sure there is not too much paint on the sponge. I always have an old rag beside me, so I can dab on that before I dab the table.

Now all I have to do is give this a coat of gloss, as I want it to shine, then I can begin upholstering the chairs. Sorry the photos are not very clear, I just took a couple of quick snaps, to show you what I am up to with the furniture.

Project: More 1:6 Scale Furniture (Part 1)

Just over a week ago, I ordered more furniture pieces to play with.

One tall wardrobe and ten tiny hangers.

A round dining table and two sturdy chairs.

Plus two rolls of pretty wallpaper.

Everything arrived in good time from Fairy Meadow Miniatures and the wardrobe and hangers are painted the same colour grey as the other pieces. The table and chairs are going to be used in a different room, and will be painted midnight blue.

The room box still hasn't progressed any further than a picture in my noggin' and a few scribbles jotted down on paper. However, the picture is much clearer and construction pieces are being researched and noted for future purchase. More details will follow at another time.

Hope your week is going to be productive too!
