Pretty Little Christmas Blog Party


I haven't been well so I hope I haven't missed the party altogether! Anyway here's a real little Christmas. It's a dollhouse porch that I just made at my dollhouse club. A lovely lady showed us to build a rustic porch from scratch! I decorated mine for Christmas and will probably leave it that way now and just use it as a Christmas decoration. The little family from our big dollhouse just popped in to say hello! The scale is 1:12 (so if something is 1 foot tall in real life it's 1 inch tall in the dollhouse).


Here's few close-ups. I had to have a little craft sale in there.
There's a little Christmas Victoria Magazine and even a box of scorched almonds on the floor. You can't quite see them but there are even some little gingerbread men cookies on the tray on the chair.
For many years I've watched 'Days of our Lives' and just loved the Horton family's Christmas ornaments with all their names on. A couple of years ago I managed to sketch some ideas while watching the show and made my own. Here is Liberty's, the photography isn't that great, it was late at night and I had to use the flash.

I bought these gorgeous little gingerbread men for Liberty in a half price sale after Christmas last year. My husband is glad to see they're gone from the bottom of our wardrobe! Liberty just loves to bake and thinks these are the best!


I just love this sugary angel that I found for Liberty's first Christmas.
This 'Merry Christmas' decoration I bought a few years ago because it was really cheap. The angel in the middle was actually a badly painted Santa with wings -why oh why? I sent it to my very talented little sister and asked her to repaint the Santa as an angel and this is what she did.

Wel, that was all fun to share. Happy Holidays!

  8. I love your little doll porch what a wonderful project. Doll houses are so much fun to make... I made one for my daughter when she was young and we used to decorate it for Christmas too.
    Merry Christmas and get well.
