Granny Takes a Breather

Just look what you can do with hideous plastic Barbie furniture and a hot-glue gun...oh, the possibilities!  This little easy-chair was something I made a couple of years ago for the girls cabinet doll house.  (A few other accessories are from early Club Little House swaps that Amy organized.  That seems like such a long time ago now doesn't it?  I'm still enjoying these little handmade treasures though. ) This cozy scene makes me want to sit down and put my feet up.

And nibble a donut.  It's fresh from the Dollhouse Bakery right next door.

Yes, Grace is back in the kitchen(s) big and small.  A few of the special orders she just finished::  four flavor muffins and candy boxes!  I just can't stand how cute these are.  If you're in the etsy neighborhood stop by for a little treat or check out her online catalog if you need something in particular.  Both these items will be added for custom orders.  And she's getting a few things ready for a mini shop update on Monday morning (PST) too.  How are your doll houses coming along?  If you have made one, or have one to share, let us know, we'd love to see them.

That is all just too cute to bear! I love it!

Golly gosh, excruciatingly cute goodness!

SO cute! I LOVE all of Grace's sweet things. ~Mandy

So so cute! As always, you've inspired me. I have my daughters' doll house, originally made by my parents. It is dismantled, having been packed flat for moving. I would love to re-assemble it and re-paint it and re-furnish it and re-everything with it, but I don't have any place to put it in my current (tiny) house unless I put it on the dining table. We don't really need a table to eat at do we? ;-) Maybe I can do some rearranging this weekend and make a place for it.

oh, how I ♥ the DollHouse Bakery. Please pass on this message to Grace: You are so talented Grace! I have no idea how you do it but as long as I keep getting to see your marvellous creations, I don't care!

by the way, how old is Grace? I'm 14.

The chair is so great!!!
You know, your little doll house photos made me want to get a doll house even more and finally, I bought a kit and put it (mostly) together. It has been sitting there waiting for me to finish it for nearly 2 months now. I need to finish so I can dress it up with sweet little things like chairs and tiny doughnuts!

These look so cute - I especially lov ethe candies.

[Amy]

such cute little finds! we are getting my daughter a doll house for her next birthday (not until march). It is things just like this that get me all excited about getting one!---for her--- getting one for her!

[Abbey]

Oh My Goodness! How Cute is that??

[amy]

you are really something else with that glue gun. Wow!

[Rosanne -- Firefly Nights]

Your little miniatures look so much like the big ones that people can hardly tell the difference from the photos.

I'm planning a dollhouse cabinet for my grand daughter, who will turn one tomorrow. So far, the plans are all in my head, but I do have the cabinet!

Until she gets old enough to enjoy it, we get out her mommy's old Fisher Price dollhouse and practice with that.

I've been making 'spool people'. I got the inspiration from the latest issue of Artful Blogger. LOVE that magazine.

such amazing talent :)

wanted to also let you know that i am leaving you a little award over at the blog. :)

*hug*

OMG....!!! I lóve all these tiny things! It's just adorable! From chair to partyhat, everything is perfect!

[Lena]

I love this little scene, and the kitty looking at the birdcage gave me a smile.

Both of your daughters are talented, and very fortunate to have a mom who encourages their creativity.

So glad the "creepy crawlies" are gone!

Your daughter is so creative...as are you. I hope to get to building the kit (yes, the very one that you turned into the bakery...I loved it so much I ordered one) once the girls start school in Sept. I have always loved miniatures & love making them. It's a drag that my fingers don't work as well as when I was younger, nor my eyes, but I still try...I think a big magnifying glass will help. I made a little cake for my MIL's dollhouse for her birthday a few months ago & other things in the past & she always seems to love it. She has a huge victorian dollhouse, electricity, fancy expensive furniture, people, etc. I think I like the more homemade look...if you've ever seen "Friends" on t.v. - I prefer the Phoebe dollhouse to Monica's. lol.

[Wonders Never Cease]

Oh I wish I were a tiny person! I would just love taking a rest and a bite of doughnut in that beautiful chair!

Grace's creations are so amazing...a talented young lady indeed :)

[Cathy Santarsiero]

Oh how very cute! I've got a lovely handmade dollhouse waiting in the wings for one of these days when I get around to furnishing it properly. The only two things I've got to furnish it thus far are a little birdcage (similar to your cutie pie one in the first pic) and a piece of cake that I believe your daughter made, which was a gift from Suzanne. When I have a proper kitchen, I will need a supply of dollie sweets from your daughter. Warmly, Cat ^..^

I am a miniaturist of 30 years. I love to see new interest in dollhouses and all that goes with them. Grace's work is getting better and better. I have been reading your blog for a couple of years now. I really enjoy it. Keep up the good work!

[Kelly]

How darling. Really. It makes me wish I was nine again, playing away with Barbie.

Oh! Your daughter's work is so darling. I just bought myself a calorie free chocolate cake. Can't wait until it gets here!! Oh so cute!!
