Mine is not nearly as ambitious as yours, miss fancy pants!

Mine is not nearly as ambitious as yours, miss fancy pants!

Ummm, that's Miss No Pants... seriously, my doll has no clothes. The little black dress she is wearing here is a strip of fabric hastily pinned in back.

You make awesome stuff, No Division I don't care if you make a coffee table, I still want to see it! please?

I was really poor growing up and made doll furniture out of welfare food boxes and used computer paper my dad would bring home from work for us to color on the back of. So, I have experience, I just haven't done it in a while.

That reminds me, what challenges would you guys like to do? I am thinking a lighting challenge (lamp, candlestick or chandelier or something), a bedroom challenge, maybe a bathtub? Rug(s)? Table with chairs? I really hadn't gotten much past 'something to sit on' in my thinking about this. I also like knick-knacky things like vases, clocks, plants, books. Ooooh, I need a fireplace, that might be a fun winter project. Tell me what you guys want to do I want EVERYTHING so I'm good either way. Does anyone but me want to do backdrop/room walls? I can do it on my own if no one does.

(LOLOL, I do NOT know why but I thought of 'stripper pole' for reasons unknown , don't worry, we won't do that.)

[NoDivision]

Oooh, lighting would be fun.

I'm done with mine, not horribly happy with it, but, eh. I'll get pictures tomorrow probably. Off to bed now!

[Salli]

That's ok, your doll has a place to sit and I'm sure it's fine Oh, I saw this and found it helpful.

No way, you are 'just learning' to make stuff like this, I don't think you suck. Give it a go!

Jiggles, thanks for the links, I NEED that barstool now. I think I will try the sofa too. I may tweak it a bit though. Last night I was googling 'room with a chaise' and found some room plans I want to copy. I have a hard time arranging furniture.

You know what would be cute legs for these? Chess rooks from a cheap game glued upside-down. I will have to keep my eye peeled for one.

[NoDivision]

woot! Okay, here's my creation. I want to get some cording of some kind to put around the top of the ruffles and around the edge of the arm to clean it up a bit, but done for now.

I am just going to keep the challenges here since we already have some fabulous links on here

CHALLENGE 1: Make/buy/acquire (legally ) a chair/sofa. Something for your doll to sit on

This week I am going to try  to make a chaise lounge.


Jiggles, thanks for the pix! I was looking at some standing jewelry boxes yesterday and your pic really halped me 'visualize' what it would look like and the stove!!! Oh wow. I love Victorian stuff and that is amazing! Is it cast iron?

Do we have a full seven days? THANK GOD we can buy something!
