The Start of the Renovation - "The Minikin"

Hello Everyone,

How are you all? Hope you had a great weekend.  The weather is quite cold this year here in Malta. I forgot when it was the last time it was a cold.  It is quite normal that January and February are cold but not as cold as this year. 

Today I am very excited to share with you the new project for this year which is 'The Minikin'.


'The Minikin' is actually a restoration project that I had gotten two years ago. It's renovation progress was meant to be aired on the Life & Style' TV Show on NET Tv presented by Charles Saliba. It was aired only once at the beginning but unfortunately due to the Covid-19 the show was stopped and never resumed. 

Charles and I during the last show

  The Minikin is a (1:24) half scale dolls house which came to me in a very poor state but with lots of potential. It's my very first half scale dolls house so I am really excited about it. 


The tiny house came with broken windows and sunburn stains. It's floors and wall paper were in 1:12 scale and didn't have any interior doors or staircase.  The layout of the house is quite nice and unique and it contains four main rooms and two spacious rooms in the roof.  I have to say I am not sure if this dolls house was a kit or hand made, if so who made it built it very well. 




The first thing I did was basically strip the dolls house  papers and change the broken windows and door.


I added a dormer window to the room that was situated in the roof as I was sure it would have looked much better. 


I gave the house a new color in pastel green. I also found some amazing half scale embossed roof sheets and I have to say the house on the outside already looks fantastic. 





I have also designed and printed it's name plaque to be fixed on the wall.  For my first attempt, I have to say I did very well. 



So this is all for today. I hope you like what I have done so far. I can't wait to continue working on this tiny house.  Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates.

Take Care and See You Soon,

Hugs,

My Tiny Penny

 Hello Everyone,

How are you all? Hope you had a great weekend. Today I wanted to share with you a little tot that arrived form Russia just a few days ago. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you Penny. 


 Penny is hand crocheted by Kristin Pavlova and she's identical to my very own sweet Penny. 



Tiny Penny is quite possible where she can turn hear head and even bend her legs. 



Penny also came with her own tiny toy. 



Tiny Penny will be staying in the DHE Museum and will be staying her in favorite spot in mummy's arms. 




My sweet Penny is a Pomchi. (Chihuahua cross Pomeranian). She will be turning 1 year on 21st January. From the three darlings Tina, Pixie and Penny, she is the one that is totally loyal and devoted to me. She is totally my shadow and I am so blessed to have her. 

She belongs to me but in reality I belong to her. 




So this is all for today. I can't wait to share with you my next new project 'The Minikin' so make sure to keep tuned.

Take Care and See You Soon.

Hugs,
