The Little Shabby Craft Shed!

The shabby shed is finally finished...

and it's a little craft studio!

I've filled it with crafts representing many of the things I love to do.

The shed is pretty much filled with things I have made myself

and a few special little treasures from my friends.

 

There just had to be a teeny tiny shabby cottage in there!

 

 Cardigan a gift from Frederica.

 

 

 

 Making a vintage sheet music wreath.

 Sewing and knitting.

 

 A cupboard overflowing with craft 'stuff'.

I think most crafters have at least one of these in their house!

 

 

 

 

Scrapbooking.

 

Dollhouse building.

 

Little oil painting done by my mother!

The scene is a beach we used to go to when I was little.

 

Tiny polymer clay creations in the making.

 

 

Tiny embroidery.

My Bernina sewing machine is in a case like this and it's almost as old as I am!

 

 

Walnuts from Kim.

 

Beautiful shabby toolbox and fabulous tools a gift from Kim.

I think the tiny birdcage with old books and a nest inside and the tiny vintage tin on top might be my favourite thing I've made!

 As usual there are things in here I'd love to have in my real house like an old shutter.

 

 

 Coffee and cookie made by Kim.

 

Tiny copy of Mini-ologie magazine (featuring my barn!) made by Lori Turner-Dolinsek.

I was lucky enough to meet Lori went I was in America and she sent me the magazine when I got home.

 

 Night time!

 

  

 

 

  

A birds eye view.
I hope you've enjoyed that little tour around the shabby craft shed!
It's kind of 1:12 scale or maybe a little bit smaller, I'll try to do another post soon showing the scale of some of the very tiny things in there.

The Shabby Shed

 I found some time to finish the little shabby shed.

I realised that if I kept waiting for time it would never happen.

So I just took the time!

I spent a Saturday afternoon while Liberty was at a friends house adding the door, end window and finishing the exterior and roof.

 I must say I worked well into the night (hubby was out at a work function - so no need for me  to cook a proper dinner - woohooo!!)

 I didn't have the right bits of wood to make a door but I found an old window that fit the hole perfectly and I adapted it.

 I went to visit Anne (another thing I had been having trouble finding time to do) and she helped me hang the door, it was her brilliant idea to have a shelf going right across the room.

 

 I had thought I should make doors to go in the large opening at the end of the shed (I think it was possibly originally meant to be a garage). But the doors were going to take time...however when I was in California with Kim I bought this beautiful window at a dollhouse shop and would you believe it fit the door space perfectly. So I decided it was meant to go there!

I couldn't be happier with how my little $10 shed from the Op shop (Goodwill) has turned out!

Now the real fun part begins...filling it up...I have big plans!

 

Liberty has already asked me if she can have the shed!

She has a 'thing' for old buildings...can't imagine where she gets that from!
