It’s the little things…

Whaaat?!  Only 10 days left for the Undersized Urbanite contest!

Here’s some of the stuff I’m working on:

Mini sweaters!  The gray stack still needs necks added.  They are from this lovely tutorial.

I did NOT make these clothes.  But, I do have a tip if you need dollhouse clothing: the scrapbooking section of Michaels.  The little red top with capris cost $12 at a miniatures shop.  But the rest of the pieces cost between $2 and $4 each at Michaels.  Craziness.

The hangers, I did make, not too bad for my first attempt.  I have a feeling they are going to end up being “good enough,” unfortunately.  That’s what I get for procrastinating: non-realistic hangers.

The shoes are also from Michael’s, they are all charms, and they cost about $3 to $4 a pair.  I will be painting them today so they look like shoes instead of metal charms.

A stack of blankets made from my favorite t-shirt that had finally worn out.  Also working on pillows, and clothing made from the same t-shirt this week.

Cookbooks!  It is driving me crazy that the spines are printed up-side-down.  So, I can’t even look at them in person right now.

Made a funky credenza from two napkin rings with beads for legs.

And three curtain rods for under $5 from hardware store materials.  You can see them on the second floor below. ↓

I really, really want a Smeg and a Falcon in the kitchen.  But again, thanks to procrastination, I may not be able to make those, so the cheap ones are in the kitchen for now.

Still have a long to-do list and only 10 days to do it in!

If you’re into miniatures, do you have any surprise sources like scrapbooking supplies and hardware store?  Share your ideas!
