As many of you know, I started this blog to promote my Etsy shop. After a while, I enjoyed writing the blog more than running the shop. So even though I have still been sewing and adding new things t...
For the first time ever, I styled my mantel for the holidays. Ive had most of this stuff for years but I usually just toss it all up there. This year, I wanted to do something special. I pulled out a...
The studio apartMac is finally finished! I took some photos before we went out of town last week but I had some technical difficulties and only managed to upload a couple of quick shots to Flickr. I ...
It probably seems like I havent been working on my studio apartMac but thats not true. Its just that Ive been doing all these little things that dont look like much. I spent a very long time on the s...
Im pretty sure this is the last of our Christmas craft extravaganza. Were going to take it easy from now on. This is just a felt ornament that we got at the dollar store (where everything is $1). We ...
We got about 5 minutes of sunlight today so I took some photos of the other Christmas crafts weve been working on. First was a white yarn tree. I was inspired by this pin on Pinterest (here is a link...
We are like little elves these days. The most fun for Z to help out with was this button tree. At first I was afraid to let her handle the pins but then I couldnt stop her. She was grabbing and stick...
This weekend we took an extra long drive up to Pittsburgh to check out Handmade Arcade. It was my first time at a cool craft show where I wasnt a vendor. How nice to have time to look around! My firs...
We have been in super craft mode around here. Since we dont have Thanksgiving at our house, we sorta pass that one over and head straight to Santa because Santas got elves. Of course we are working h...
Santa will be bringing my assistant a special doll for Christmas. I know youre judging but I dont care. Shes been asking for a girl (not a baby) with clothes and shoes and sunglasses and stuff. So it...
My assistant and I went to our local bead shop to pick out some vases for the iMac studio apartment. We found these yellow resin beads to use on the mantle perhaps. The 3-year-old picked out the turk...
Z said she wanted to be a purple ladybug for Halloween, "and you can make me some wings, mama!" I made the pattern by drawing a half circle. I traced a butter container for the spots. I...
A scored this awesome Arrow dollhouse furniture kit on eBay a few months ago. It was new in the box and even in the shrinkwrap (mostly). I had to throw out the paint as 35 years or so doesnt do it an...
I made this cape from the new Oliver + S Little Things to Sew a few weeks ago but my little one has been refusing to try it on. I bought gorgeous eggplant fine wale corduroy from JoAnns and lined it ...
I started putting some furniture in the studio apartMac. I am surprised at how much stuff I can get in there. Im thinking Ill cut a hole in the back that will be a stairway leading to the lower level...
When Im playing with my miniatures sometimes I pretend I work for Rachel Zoe and I "pull" styles from my vault. Yeah, its like that. I might use this fireplace instead of making a hanging one...
Things are really coming along well with the iMac dollhouse. Here is the shell of the home. I think this will be more of a roombox with just a main living space OR perhaps something like a studio apa...
I have been wanting to jump into the Im a Giant mini challenge since it was first announced but I felt like I couldnt just make a scene in a roombox like I always do because its a challenge and I wan...
So I am sadly realizing that the turnaround time from project-supply-buying to actual creation is well over a year. Remember this post from March of 2010? As you can see, I finally finished the Olive...

Before my little blog break, I saw some cool earrings on Fab.com and thought they would make the perfect accessory in a scene. Being too cheap to buy a whole pair just for myself, I asked the amazing...
My mom bought a huge box of mostly trashed dollhouse furniture at a flea market a few weeks ago. Everything is pretty beat up and really old; Im thinking 1930s but I havent done much research yet. Am...
