It’s looking good Keli and loving the colourful nature of it. I’m sorry you have to sew. Perhaps you could glue more? I tend to use glue a fair bit for mini cushions and bedding instead of sewing them. It’s Ok to cheat sometimes!

Awww that’s so sweet! It was meant to be! Sad that the poor little thing was out on his own when he was so young but he sure picked the right garage!!

It is perfect the way it is. Love the colours.

Ooo spooky coincidence! I was browsing pinterest earlier this week just gone and a picture started me thinking about a little borrower type house. I loved the Borrowers too, and the String family. Enjoy your break and have a lovely holiday.

It really is great Keli. You have such an amazing vision for seeing what you want to acheive from the start and then achieving it. Brilliant. Good luck with the contest!

Well done Keli, it really does look amazing. The landscaping is just fantastic!

It is looking FANTASTIC as usual Keli! Can’t wait to see the final product.

A belated happy birthday Kelli! Sorry you are still sick, but the house is pulling together nicely. Not long to go now!

Gee willikers, those are some realistic looking plants! Beautiful.

It looks great Keli. And there is the sense of achievement and satisfaction in having it all done and renewed. And your chairs match the cabinet colour?

Haha! Cool bowl although if it was me, I wouldn’t ever be sure to laugh or cry whenever I looked at it! And very cool mini presents, love them all, especially the tropical drink and knitted basket.

Oh Keli, this sucks. Having done a lot of the work on our house when it was built plus maintenance since then, I can say with 100% confidence that I share your pain. It often feels like 2 steps forward, one back. If it makes you feel better, my friend’s son dropped a tin of red paint on new carpet. I hope you had a relaxed Sunday to get over the shock. Sending good vibes across the ocean for no more mishaps. Xx

Wow Keli! You must be feeling great with all the renos that have been done - there is so much satisfaction in these things. When we got our laudry fitted out a few years after we'd built, we just kept going in there to marvel at the beautiful beautiful floor to ceiling cupboards. Of course we are now at the point where we need to redo a fair few things. Anyway, I LOVE your new windows. These are exactly what we want but don't want to deal with having to move all our crap out of the way for someone to install them and then put all the architraves back on and patch up paint. Did you have a lot of that to do or were they pretty neat?

That is a big job, but will be well worth it.

LOVE that middle wallpaper! So cool.

Frustrating! That's a bit sloppy of them. It probably won't help you, but if it was mine and I was getting a little antsy, I'd grow a vine over it and call it done.

It's gonna look great though!

Those are VERY cool Keli! And a great way to practice using your machine. Also looks like you had some fun with them. So you could also cut little shapes out of rolled icing for the cake/s???

Great fix Keli - will store that info for future use. And as for the sink, I was going to say quit while you're ahead, but then I thought, if it's bugging you now, it will keep bugging you, so best fix it.

Oh wow, you have had a doozy of a day! Not sure I have any suggestions, but I reckon Ester will.

I agree with the stripes, or maybe Kat's idea of tongue and groove wood painted. Have you tried a plain colour but darker, like something in the carpet, or a couple of shades darker than the walls? Just a thought.

Things that cut for you are so much fun. I am sure this will help you make all sorts of amazing things. These panels are a great start.

It's looking great. And I hear ya on the messy craft room front... mine is horrifying at the moment, and I haven't even been mini-ing. For organisation of little things, I found a little MDF chest kit with little drawers made from thick card at the local craft/sewing shop. Quick and easy to out together, good size drawers for tiny things.

It is a bit in-your-face but perhaps if it had plain white tiles for a dado and floor, it would be less overwhelming. The second choice was good though, much more calming. Re that crazy real life bathroom - it's a good thing they gave the toilet a green seat. No idea what they do when they want to find the sink though.

Errm, I'm pretty sure droids invented online shopping. Just make sure he doesn't find any build-your-own-robot kits.
