Update

Someone said that the sewing room was not messy enough!
So - here with some additional decoration

To this I added the ironing corner (with distilled water for the iron ... hihi)

I spent last weekend in Ludwigsburg at Ingrid's house and met up with Stephan and Joe for mini talk, Spätzle and Gulasch and a serious discussion about interpreting paintings!
And I collected a few things I have ordered...

Stephan Wein made the salad gear for me in silver...

he said that he will make a few more for Kensington Fair next spring...

Joeachim Kühner made a black rim (re-firing the plates) on the spaghetti bowls I bought in Chicago
Now, my dining table looks like this:

... fiddly project to make the parmigiano cheese...

Ingrid Auer made this beautiful wrath

And this was certainly not planned!! But I could not resist getting this beautiful tree she made

iccles are hand-blown glass ... incredible detail!

Yes, the roof is in the making... looks already convincing from the inside ;-)

great moment when I could mount the spotlights!

These are the news from my side...
Ah, exept this: it looks as that interview with 'thedailymini' last month triggered off something. Shortly after that was published, Shapeways asked me to feature my work...

Sewing area upstairs

I was in Provence for two weeks ... prolonging the summer.

Our friends' house we rent every year. It is adjacent to the one I buildt in mini ;.)

So, there was only minimal progress on my mini house.
Before adding the roof I had to complete the interior of the upper floor. This open space belongs to a hobby seamstress. Here we go...

The sewing macine with working light is from Fanaberi

Iron/ironing board are from Fanaberi

Here how I made the floor lamp:

I embedded the led in this plastic material

Then made the casing from styrene. Added a metal plate on top so that the light would no shine through - because the led is facing upwards! This way, the light sources are a little more difuse. I wanted something resembling a neon light...

Big honor: I was asked by Kate from 'dailymini' for this interview!

So, I think now I am ready to tackle the roof...

Have a great weekend!
