Still, that means I have four more rooms to share with you and today's room is the sitting room on the first floor.
I hope you have enjoyed my tour of the sitting room. Please come back next week to see ...... the bedroom!

Miniature Monday
I've just been taking photos of the remaining rooms, so I know that you have only 3 Miniature Mondays after today I am afraid!
Still, that means I have four more rooms to share with you and today's room is the sitting room on the first floor.
The doll came free with a magazine and is the only one that I have not dressed myself. She is visiting the owner of the shop and has been left upstairs whilst the owner has gone to get the teapot!
The fireplace lights up - doesn't show too well in this photo - but Hugh fixed it into the lighting circuit for me. I love the little dogs on the mantelpiece - we have them in real life on our mantelpiece!
The sofa came as a kit and I made it up and upholstered it. I then made the cushions and embroidered them.
The carpet, which you can just see in this photo, was a 1:12 scale tapestry kit - it took a long time to complete! There are actual music scores on the music sheets on the piano and the music stand.
I love this corner unit. My Gran and Pop use to have a Buddah like the ones on the shelves and Hugh had a Toby jug.
This photo shows the cushion and the bell pull, both of which I stitched. The wallpaper is properly flocked too, although I bought it that way!
I hope you have enjoyed my tour of the sitting room. Please come back next week to see ...... the bedroom!

Wow! and wow! again. Your miniature stitchery is just wonderful. I have made a couple of rugs, but never a whole carpet, that's amazing.
You have got me thinking about photographing some of my miniatures. Maybe when I get back from holiday
Oh yes please Sian! I would love to see your miniatures :)
Another fantastic room, the attention to detail is amazing
I can't imagine the patience you must have to do all that tiny sewing! Another great post!

I can't believe the detail you get into your miniatures. Seeing that tea cart reminds me my Mum used to have one - wonder whatever happened to it.
