BRINJA KØBENHAVN

Anders late grandfather painted this chest many years ago. I made a miniature of it a little while ago.

I’d wish he was here to see it.

Many of the furnitures in my mini-home are made of cardboard -old shoe boxes and stuff like that. Here are some of them under construction.



Had a few hours of ‘me-time’ today. I spend it with coffee and miniature stuff.

Sofa is all done. New sofa table nearly done. Computer and television in progress… Next job: diaper changing station.

Right now the mini-home is a mess, but I am working on the sofa and it’s coming out pretty well. Only needs legs.

As most of you know my miniature home has been pushed aside by my this miniature-person lately. It has been standing on top of a closet for quite a while now and when I took it down today I realized that I have changed A LOT of stuff in our home since the last time I worked on it. Most of the furnitures has been removed or replaced and quite a few baby-items like a nursing-table, a rocking horse and a tiny bench has sneaked inhere meanwhile. Now I have this sudden urge to empty the house completely and start all over -just for the fun of it!

And now to the mystery box from yesterday. As I said it was from Poland and more specifically it was from a fellow blogger of mine ‘Aga Plieth’. Imagine how surprised  I was when I opened this present? ‘Aga Plieth’ made me a perfect miniature-copy of Vilja’s  yellow crib.

I had such a busy day yesterday that I only had time to open it right before I went to bed and I became so excited about this gesture that I almost couldt’n fall asleep afterwords.

Thank you so much ‘Aga Plieth‘ your present blew me away.

And just to keep you guys tuned; this was not the only thing in the surprise package, I’ll show you more soon.

I have seriously neglected my mini-home lately and I’m drowning in things that has to be re-placed or re-done down there…

This baby in my belly is already making it harder for me to get things done. -Both because I’m really tired most of the time, but also because I’m slowly starting to rearrange our real-live-home and make it more baby-friendly.  I’m tidying up closets and shelf’s to make more room for all the baby-stuff  that has already begun to sneak in here.

Anyway our home looks different than usual and it’s probably going to continue to change for a while forward so my motivation towards the mini-home has left me for a while. Hopefully it’ll be back again soon…

The miniature-blackboard-wall is new. I think you’ve seen the rest before.

I did some unintentional moving around the furnitures (real life! -not mini-world) again last Weekend -I never plan to do so, but it seems to happen pretty often anyway :) -All I intended to do was move a single painting or something like that -then the next thing I know everything around it looks a bit wrong and of course I have to move that to.

Anders usually comes home laughing and shaking his head at all these silly projects I’ve got going. -Unfortunately now I have to ask him for help, after being pregnant and therefore not allowed to lift heavy furniture…

Anyway, the point is; I have new work to do in the miniature home.

Happy Thursday everyone!

Last night I finished  the miniature-house dining room chairs. I made the seats (out of very thick cardboard) a long time ago, but couldn’t decide how to make the legs. I ended up folding them in metal wire. The reason why I didn’t  just do this at first, was that I actually didn’t think it would work out good enough. I admit they could be more detailed, but I’m satisfied with this result.

I’m having the day off and so far I’m enjoying every single second of it :-) the sky is so so blue and the sun shines beautifully trough my windows. On days like this a quiet place, a book and a cup of coffee is my idea of perfect. I’m reading a book of poems by an old friend of mine “Peter-Clement Woetmann” this book is called “Heldigvis er skoven blevet væk”=”Luckily the wood has gone lost”
