Ellie and I spent last week at the Farm with Great Gran. This week she is on her own! Well, mostly. We still make sure to visit once a day (and when we don’t Aunt Wendy does), I talk to her on the phone 3-4 times a day (I’ve been doing that for 10 years so that’s not new) and Great Gran decided she’s not going shopping anymore so that’s our job too. But anyway: YAY progress!
I also have a small confession to make.
I love dollhouses.
Ellie got her dollhouse from Gran and Pop (my parents) this Christmas. After I emptied my PayPal account furnishing it (Lundby is awesome), I remembered how I like tiny things. Since my own dollhouse (from my granddad when I was 5) is well-outfitted and I need to leave Ellie a little space to make cool things for herself as she grows, I gave some thought to what else I could make tiny. Three guesses what I came up with and the first two don’t count.
A yarn shop!
I’ve assembled the building, and now I am working on the stock. I need lots of little yarn.
The cubbies used to be a thimble display case.
Can’t sell just one type of yarn, so I’m working on lots of different fibers.
That’s my organic cotton and my lace weight (sewing thread).
It’s just a little thing that is completely consuming my interest in between knitting rabbits. It’s really all about the rabbits this time of year.
How cute your mini yarn shop is. I want a dollhouse too. I have a kit, just waiting for my husband to help me build it, someday. I am also a quilter so I plan on putting quilts in my house when I finally get one.
This is super adorable! Now you have your very own little yarn shop – every knitter’s dream 🙂 Love the skeins in the cubby holes! It must take a lot of patience to make these teeny tiny skeins – a labour of love!!! And oh my goodness you even have your own Yarn Miracle name on the shop!!!
That is the most amazing thing I have ever seen!!! I have my old doll house up in my attic! You are a genius!!
Oh, your yarn store is so cool! Our little one got her first doll house at Christmas time, she’s more interested in the train set though…
Hi, thanks for visiting my blog and joining my “aesthetic tribe.” I like what you’ve done with your blog, as well.
oh how adorable
That is simply fantastic. Just mind-blowingly adorable!
I think that is just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. (I love miniatures, too. Always have. When my kids are grown up I’m going to have a dollhouse.)
SWEET! Can’t wait to see it in all its glory. I was on vacation last week to St. Louis and Nashville….and of course I stopped in to visit local yarn shops.
Best,
sheila
Ohmygoodnessgracious! That’s possibly the most adorable thing I’ve seen in a good long while. Love, love, love it!
