I see them and I like them. I used to take colorful yarn and #10 cotton and make rugs for doll houses.
I never thought about having seasonal doll houses! What a cute hobby.

I have a picture of the little rugs. I used to make them to practice patterns and stitches. I've never had a doll house though.

Dodge, I will be very happy to send her these! I have had them a long time and always wanted to share them!
If barb says Kratz is oool to share with - I am happy to share. Maybe I will get see them is a festive picture.
I have book I got from Warmart. It is supposed to make a blanket of squares with 60 or so different stitches. No two squares are alike. I learned most of what I know from it. And much from playing with the miniatures.
I have no clue which stitch any of these are now

I Love taking photos of the dollhouse decorated and I love adding things that are Handmade....It adds sentimental value to my things.....I'm never sure if I should post photos as I don't want to bore people with my other hobby....lol Thanks Dodge....for looking out for me.....
Gonetothebirds I would love to have the rugs....could I pay you for them or at least give you seed money....lol
I am always looking for anyone to make me things for the dollhouse. It is a 1" scale Victorian by Dura Craft....I would love to have table clothes and all that, but I don't know how to crochet......

I have the dollhouse you could work on mine....lol
How much would you be charging for the beautiful designer rugs..........
I was worried we were talking about rugs that I couldn't find.
Now, that they are in hand. Kratz, I don't sell things. (I just stay broke ) I will be happy to send share these with you. I made them in 1997-98. So, I don't think they'll be more.
It can't cost a buck to mail them.
I might play with the idea of making miniature doilies. That would take tiny cotton, almost thread, and I don't think I'm up for it. But, it's interesting.
What scale is right. Not too tiny. Think doily and table runner or coffee table and end table set -- what size?
Lynne is the one who is talented with tiny things. (at least her) I bet wrennie can too!
Kratz PM me and we'll get the address stuff rolling. -- Hey and you never know I might just need some seeds
And don't forget to thank dodge. She PM'd, she's smart ... because I can't track thread for doodly
Seeded: 69.137.32.10
I would love to have a mini rug....I'll pm you with my snail mail address.......as soon as I figure out how to find you.... What type of seeds would you like in return?
I have also made a mini comforter for the green bedroom.....
The blue and white blanket was also hand made...I bought it a craft show.....I have a mini mind that never stops.......lol
Have you ever made mini blankets or throws (afghans)?
I even made the curtains from lace and thin dowel...with a bead at each end to hang it from the wall......

Kratz - I just love seeing pictures of your dollhouse - I especially enjoy seeing how your change it around for the seasons and holidays!!! Please keep posting pictures of anything and everything about it that you'd like to share!
Jane - you give me far too much credit! I've just been making some of those small animals to try and keep my sanity this winter. Stuff is going on here, and I need an outlet. BUT... I could never ever do anything so tiny and intricate as a doily or rug for a dollhouse. My hands are not what they used to be - especially since I sprained my right thumb about 5 years ago - it still gives me much pain and cramping.
I think Merme is the one who does such beautiful teensy work - she has posted her crochet work here before you both joined us. Maybe one of the hostesses can bring that thread back up from the archives?

Sorry Lynne, What a drag -- you sprained a thumb! That has to really be lousy. It's like I say they don't say "there's nothing worse than a sore thumb" for nothing!
I officially promise not to give you too much credit ever again
I can't do little things anymore either. I look at those tiny rugs and think... wow - I made that!
I made them back in 1997-1998, that's 10 years ago already! I was not healthy back then - the pieces to not represent goodness to me.
I have to go back and look for Merme's work. I can't remember too much about so many new people at once. I would to see Merme's work (or again to refresh my memory of who did what )

I will be decorating for Spring very soon....I have been looking foe all types of scrapbooking stuff as this is the perfect size for the dollhouse....I love all of the tiny things you can buy or better yet make....
I would love to make all of my own minis.....but I would need lots of help.......
This little robe was to be used for scrapbooking but I think it works better in the dollhouse....besides it would make the pages huge....lol
I just adore this snowman and company....
I sure wished someone else would get into building a dollhouse....I would like to build a 1/144th scale....that would be very detailed though

Charlotte, I love your stuff. I can't afford another hobby I feed the backyard birds... I can spend and spend and spend.
I love bargains though! It is beyond cool to think you can wallpaper with scrapbook paper!
I implemented my daughter's custom (from hell) wedding invitations and all the paper came from the scrapbooking section (on sale I might add).
Big lots... Big lots... Big Lots -- they get in a lot of scrapbooking odds and ends now.. Not racks of paper, but the little goofy stuff. Borders... Wow, image the border you can do in your dollhouse for pennies now!
I am still having trouble imaging the size. In the first picture how big is the window, the lovely sofa and the bear? Or any of them? Can someone tell me how to get to your PM list - I never tried to find them and now I find i can't
It looks bigger than a regular doll house to me??

I am going to try my hand at some smallies for you. Just for the heck of it . If ever I get a house , I will know how..ha ha

Dodge I would love to see how your smallies turn out......I would also love to learn to do small doilies....
I'll need to do the cottonball idea for snow next year....I also found ribbon storage boxes that store my decorations in.......
I love the tiny things you can buy to decorate with....I even have tiny silverware..... I would love to have doilies, or placemats on the dining room table
I actually had plexiglass doors biult for the house to keep out the dust...my tiny maid just retired and I haven't found a replacement yet.... so nobody has been doing tiny chores......lol
Alot of the wallpaper I printed on cardstock from the internet......like the kitchen wallpaper
Give me an idea in inches for the crochet placemats.. I need to know how small.. ?? I am going to try.

Barb..
I have been asking her for dimensions too! I was going to make a bedspread or table runner. I am too old for the actual thread and tiny tiny hook for miniature doilies. And placemats..... too tiny and too many... I know my limitations
I want to make a bedspread cottony bedspread with all the bumbs in it. The kind you rubbed your feet back and forth on until they tingled.

Charlotte - I am in AWE of your wonderful talent and work!!!
Your eye for detail is AMAZING! You must have great fun buying, making, and setting everything up - I wanna LIVE in your dollhouse!!! Maid, or no maid!
I think of you everytime I'm in a craft store and pass by the scrapbooking aisles - I wish I had an endless supply of moolah - I would buy everything there, because I know you'd do such beautiful things with them!

That dollhouse looks pretty cute and it could certainly be done up cute.....You could add things to it to make it your own. And since you can crochet you could do all kinds of things with it. I would love to do fancy little table coverings etc....and the price seems reasonable enough.... If I didn't already have a dollhouse I would go for it..... Were you planning on lighting for yout little world? There's a company that carries all the electrical stuff it's called Cir-Kit....they have the wiring,lights and the outlets among other things.
Hobby builders supply carries anything and everything including dollhouses...
this would also help get you started...I have ordered from them and they do have nice quality stuff....
Do you have an AC Moore nearby?, they also have dollhouse things.....including dollhouses....keep us posted on what you decide.....
You can also use scrapbooking decorations and things to decorate it......So many things to choose from..... I had plexiglass doors built on mine to keep the dust down inside as my mini housekeeper is on vacation.... I eventually want to set the dollhouse up on a platform and add all the landscapingand gardens there too.....I need to find tiny flowers.........hmmmmmm....that should be fun.......
P.S. gonetothebirds....I tried to pm you....but the pm thing on your end is blocked.....bummer....lol
Barb is catching the bug. I love that house as the first doll house. The possibilities are infinite -- think about picking wallpapers from all shelves of scrap book paper at Michaels! I would like that part.
I just don't have room in my tiny house for a mini house. So, the temptation is more resistable. I am always trying to free space... not fill it!

I have just Joined the Kratz DollHouse club. I ordered the little house that weezie found for me....... I say the price is right...My house is all white too........ I didnt order the furniture, cause I am not a white furniture lover..It will take me 4 years to do it all..
Hey, thanks alot Weezie for finding that. By the way, where is that place? No address on the sheets just the name.
