More Stitch-n-Time photos

I’ve done quite a bit of work since my last entry. All the rooms have been finished and are now ready for furnishings and decor. The first photo shows the right side of the sewing shop. I’m going to make the store fixtures for the walls that will hold the fabrics and other items being sold like yarns, etc.

The next photo is of the left side of the shop.

This next photo shows the finished kitchen and the relocated staircase behind the oven wall. I’ve got a lot of nice things to fill this room with.

The photo below is of the finished sitting room; just off the kitchen. I am going to be adding some crown moulding to the top of the fireplace and then furnish and decorate the room.

The next photo is of the bathroom on the 2nd floor. This is where the staircase would have come up to if I hadn’t changed things around. The floor is 1″ slate tile and I love how it brings out the darker blue flowers in the wall paper.

This last photo is of the 2nd floor hallway and the bedroom; both finished and ready for furnishings and decor.

Stitch-n-Time is underway

Ok, so I don’t know about you, but when I’m in a slump, it takes a special project to get me out of it. For most of the summer this year I’ve had no desire whatsoever to “mini”. Then, I was given the opportunity to start a new project; as if I really needed one but you know how it goes. Thus, “Stitch-n-Time” was created in my mind and is now becoming a reality. I’ve always wanted to do a quilting/sewing/yarn shop and I am now turning the Magpies kit from The Dolls House Emporium into one. Above the shop will be the shopkeepers quarters, and her name is Danielle. I will introduce you to her in due course. For now, here are the first few photos of my endeavors thus far. You can click on the images to get even more detail about what each image is and what I’ve done.
