Calm before the storm.....

We are relaxing today waiting for the storm to hit. The Meterologists are predicting about 1- 6 inches here by tomorrow morning. Windchills will drop to about -20 by Tuesday. 
We went out this morning for bread and milk, considering the schools will probably call Snow Days !!!  It is currently raining.... and should start snowing very soon. 
I will be bring The Shenandoah Log cabin upstairs to the Dining room to reglue the front porch roof on. During our big move of the Basement, my youngest son grabbed the roof of the house and it pulled loose. The Shenandoah  is his.... and he wants it  finished as a Hunting cabin. We will be making all the Furnishings for it... I will do my best to blog our progress.... Currently it has the wood furniture that came with the kit... we will be dressing that up a bit... adding blankets and hunting accessories.

The Shenandoah Log cabin is made from MDF. I am not a big fan of the MDF, it is not stainable like wood. We used different shades of brown on the wood to make it look like wood. The Chinking in between the slats is watered down drywall mud, it was a messy process but it looks good. We used a medicene syringe to distribute the mud in the cracks.  The porch floor is make from egg cartons.
 
 

Kellee's Mini Kreations

Happy New Year to Everyone.!  Today is the start of my new blog. I may not get to write everyday but I will do my best. This blog will capture a lot about my miniatures and dollhouses. I will share what I am working on from kit houses, built from scratch to rehab houses. I will share my many accessories, and furniture building.  I would love to learn several things this year, needle felting, foods from polymer clay, making furniture, and making dolls are among a few things I want to learn this year. I love miniatures and do alot of  rehabbing of old dollhouses that need alot of TLC. I will share some tips I have learned along the way with miniatures and dollhouse building.! 
I am in the process of moving my other blogs about my miniatures into this blog. Hopefully it will be much easier to read. Thank you for your patience.
I hope you enjoy your time here....

The Newburg,DuraCraft

WELCOME !
The Newburg is my Mothes Dollhouse... I built this several years ago for her.  It was a kit build, not a rehab... unfortunaly now it is a rehab.... it needs a few minor things done. The interior walls have fallen.... so I will be gluing those in soon and dusting it. Then I will start furnishing the house. I have it at my home because my Mother does not have room for it at her apartment.


Living Room, still need to add more furniture and make curtains as well as all the finishing touches.


Kitchen, still need to make curtains and add some finishing touches.

Bedroom & Bathroom. I am still looking for a bed... I have one somewhere in my stash. Ive still got to make the curtains and bedding.  I am still going thru my stash for the tub, toilet and sink. I know I have them somewhere just have to go thru it all and find them!

The Pierce Dollhouse

I recieved this house from a mini friend... I have been slowly working on this one....The Pierce 1 can be seen by following the link above....

Enjoy.

The Heritage Dollhouse by DuraCraft


A wonderful Mini Friend gave this dollhouse to me a few years ago. It was half completed when I received it. I disassembled the house down to the foundation. Repainted Everything, Stained all the floors, Wallpapered all the rooms. In this Picture the shingles have not yet been done... They are done now so I need to get a new photo. !







This is the Heritage how it arrived... I just LOVED the colors.!! First thing that came to me was a dollhouse shop.... because of the downstairs wallpaper border. There were alot of gaps, between the walls and Foundation. I repaired all the gaps and the house is on its way to being Beautiful.!






WELCOME
LIVING ROOM
 
 





I kept the original wallpaper and border in the Living & Dining Rooms.

I fell in love with the wallpaper for the bedroom... I just had to repeat in the second bedroom.!
