My Birthday!!!!!

Yesterday (31.7.) was my birthday!!! We did so many things that I did not have time to blog about my wonderful day. I got many presents...

... for instance, two great books about dollhouses, one about Finnish dollhouses (Nukkekotielämää) and one was about making miniature food for the dollhouses (Making Miniature Food and Market Stalls)! I also got loads and loads of beads (in the box) and from my sister I got pocket puppies (which are so cute!!!). And then of course I got money from Grandma and from my Godfather. 100 Euros together!!! And from my sister I also got a little sister book, but it doesn't show in the picture...

We went shopping to Indiska, Hobby Point, and Tiimari, because it was my birthday and I had the money! And this is what I bought... two pillows from Indiska, a basket and Fimos from Hobby Point and scrap book thingies and the journal from Tiimari.

And because it was raining cats and dogs - and it was my birthday!!! - the whole family went to see the SIMPSONS MOVIE!!! It was just brilliant and so funny!

Later in the evening my Dad gave me these beautiful flowers - and my Mom and my sister made me this delicious cake with twelve candles on it! I am soo-oo happy!

Relocation of the Dollhouse

Just wanted to tell you that we relocated our dollhouses to the living room to give them enough space. My Mom and Dad were so kind to allow this. Now we have more space in our room, too!

Sorry about the break...

Sorry about the break, but I have loads of good reasons... like we have been doing so much other summer activities and half this time our camera linking cord was missing (so we couldn't move the photos from the camera to the computer...) and we've been setting up Riikka's dollhouse. And summerdays seem to be really short, at least to me!!!


Even though I haven't blogged about my dollhouse, I have been doing something for it! SO, here you see the updated bathroom with wallpapers and all the furniture! I am very pleased with the colors!

The family is enjoying the new bathroom! They have been waiting for it soooo long (sorry!). When we got the bathroom finished, they all wanted to try the bathtub. But Tom got in there first!

Family Picture

The family insisted me to take a family picture in their almost finished bedroom. As you saw in the previous post, the room has a new carpet! Do you like the color combination?

The parents are almost finished with the wallpapers in their room. They ran out of paper, so one of the wall is missing the wallpaper. The parents have been working on the other rooms of the house, too. So, it has been hard on Tom and Eliza to play, and for Kirsty to wander around, because the parents have been painting the trims for the children's bedroom and the dining room. Everything is a mess!

Grandma came to visit...

... and she made for both me and my sister beautiful blue rugs. Then she made lace bedcovers for our dollhouse beds and for me she made cute pot holders. Aren't they fabulous! She is a wonderful grandma!



This is how the blue rug looks under the dining room table. I think it will go together with the blue wallpaper very well - when I get it! Notice, I have put the blue teaset to match the color. Thank you, Grandma Raili!

The Almost Finished Parents' Room

This is the surprise I was telling you about! What do you think? So, we were painting and wallpapering this room. I think we succeeded pretty well! That white paint was left over from Riikka's dollhouse. I painted the living room's trims and the staircase too. I will show the whole picture someday (with the furniture and things).

Wink!

Well, Hello for the start! We have been doing so much for Riikka's dollhouse. We have been painting ,wallpapering and building it. It is very beautiful and cute. There is already a doll for it. Riikka is thinking to buy a mom and sister for her. OH,NO I should have not said that! Well, any way I have been doing something for my dollhouse too! You will see it in the next post.
