Miniaturemesse i Farum/Miniature fair in Farum

Den 4. og 5. maj var det igen tid til miniaturemesse i Farum.
Jeg havde min faste plads i gangen, ved indgangen til den store sal, og med Hans Meier, Hamburg, ved siden af.

The 4. and 5. of May it was time for miniature fair in Farum.
I had my usual place with Hans Meier, Hamburg, by my side.

 

( Det er min mor der er på billedet/It's my mother sitting behind the stand)

 



Som sædvanlig glemte jeg at tage billeder af de andre stande, og fik heller ikke taget nærbilleder af mine egne ting.
Det eneste billede jeg fik taget af mine egne ting, var af de små, foerede strandtasker.

As usual I forgot  to take pictures of the other stands, and didn't even take picutres a little closer of my own stand.
The only picture I've got, are of my little lined beach bags.


 

 

 

 

 

 

På et senere tidspunkt vil jeg tage nogle billeder af de ting jeg købte.

Lige nu er hele vores hus et stort rod pga. renovering, så jeg kan ikke lige få fat i mine ting, og endnu mindre komme til at lave noget som helst kreativt, for alle tingene er sat ind i hobbyværelset...

 

Later I'll take some Pictures of what I bought.

At the moment our entire house is a big mess because of renovation, and therefore I can't find my newly bought miniatures, and I can't even make some miniatures, because all the stuff from the house has been placed in my hobby room...

 

 



 

Nyt familiemedlem/A new family member

Her er hun så, Maries nye ven. En lille labradorhvalp ved navn Sandy.

En af Maries venner har en hund, som fik hvalpe for noget tid siden, og Sandy var endnu ikke blevet solgt. Vi tog selvfølgelig ud og besøgte dem flere gange, og Marie var så glad for Sandy fra første gang hun så hende, så hun begyndte at plage om at få hende, men jeg må indrømme at jeg var lidt bekymret. Ikke nok med at Maries hus endnu ikke er færdigt, men gider hun nu også at lufte hund og alt det der?
Jeg lod mig dog overtale, og for at berolige mig, tog Marie Sandy med på tur, så jeg selv kunne se, at hun havde fuldstændig styr på det.

Here she is, Marie's new friend. A little puppy named Sandy.

A friend of Marie has a dog, which had puppets a while age, and Sandy still wasn't sold. Of course we have visited them, and Marie was especially happy with Sandy from the first time she saw her. Then she started begging to have her, but I was a little worried. Marie's house still isn't finished, but what about walking her, feeding her and so on?
But I let her have Sandy, and she immidiatly walked her, so I would calm down, as I saw she could handle it.

 

 

 

 

Men nu varer det sikkert ikke længe før hun begynder at snakke om flettet hundekurv, hundehus og den slags!!

 

But now it won't take long, before she starts asking for wicker basket, a doghouse and things like that!!

Clover mini iron 2

Godt nytår til alle i blogland.

Jeg synes lige at I skulle se min julegave, et ministrygejern.


Happy New Year to everybody in blogland.

I just wanted to show you my christmaspresent, a mini iron.

Jeg fandt sengetæppet frem som har ligget længe; ja Marie havde såmænd opgivet at se det igen...
- men jeg kunne jo ikke lave det færdigt, for jeg ikke kunne stryge det med det store strygejern...
Det nye her er til gengæld helt fantastisk!
Se bare en forskel!

I took the beadspread, which has been left unatendet for very long, Marie was quite sure she wasn't gonna see that again!, - but I couldn't finish it, 'cause I had problems using my full size iron..
The new iron is absolutely amazing!
Look at the difference.


Jeg er sikker på at det bliver helt vildt fint når det bliver færdigt.

I'm sure it'll get very nice when it is finished.

Lad os komme videre / Let's move on

Så er det endelig lykkedes at blive færdig med skammelen til Maries fletstol.
Her sidder hun i sin ikke særligt færdige stue. Ovenover hænger et vindspil af små lyseblå klokker.

Finally I've made the footstool to Marie's chair.
She's sitting in the not finished living room. Above her is a windchime made of lightblue bells.

Så er jeg her igen / Here I go again.

Så er jeg her igen.
Efter lang tids pause er jeg nu på banen igen, og prøver at få lidt samling på det hele.
Der er ikke blevet lavet så meget miniature, men jeg har da sørget for at købe ind til det!!

Back again.
I haven't been around for some time, but now I'm back and trying to catch up.
I haven't made any miniatures, but I've bought lots of stuff to it.


Dagen i dag er blevet brugt på Åbent hus i Kulturhuset, hvor vi holder til med DMV (vores lokale dukkehusklub),
Today I was at our local culture center, where DMV (our local dollhouse club) belongs, and where there were open for the entire community.

- og Marie var yderst tilfreds med at komme med, for det er heller ikke meget hun har været ude det sidste stykke tid.

Marie was very pleased to come along, she hasn't been out much for a while.

 

 

 

Hun sidder og skuer ud over alle herlighederne, og venter på at jeg får syet en hynde til hendes kurvestol (som kan ses i baggrunden).

Efter at have følt på alle stofprøverne, bestemte hun sig for en lys blå bomuld med små hvide prikker, da "jeg jo nok kunne se, at det passede perfekt til den ovale måtte!" - og jo, det kunne jeg da godt se.

 

Here she is, taking a look at all the good stuff, while she is waiting for me to sew her a cushion for her rattan chair (the one you see in the background).

After she had touched all the fabrics, she decided for a light blue cotton with white dots, 'cause "don't you see how well it matches the little carpet?!"  - and well, of course I could see that.

 

 

 

 

Jeg havde lidt besvær med at holde hende væk fra Det lille konditori, især da hun kunne se lagkagerne..., men da jeg lovede hun nok skulle få lov at komme derind en anden dag, hvor der ikke var en masse der ville komme og kigge mens hun spiste, så accepterede hun.

I had some trouble keeping her away from The little confectioner, especially after she saw the layered cakes..., but I promised her she could visit another day, when there wouldn't bee a lot of people watching her eat, and she accepted.

 

 

 

- men hun undlod ikke at bemærke, at ejeren af konditoriet vist ikke var helt færdig endnu, for de lamper i loftet sad da ikke helt pænt. Jeg kunne dog forsikre hende om, at alle ejerne var fuldt ud klar over at der var lidt mangler, men at de havde arbejdet hårdt for at blive klar til åbningen. Hun mente dog ikke at det var værre, end at hun gerne ville derind snart.

 

 

- but she had to mention, that the owner wasn't all finished with the interiors, 'cause the lamps at the ceiling didn't fit in. I assured her, that the owners knew that they needed to fix some things here and there, but that they had a hard time to get finished before the opening. But she didn't find it worse, than she would like to go there very soon.

Det skal fejres!!/Let's celebrate!!

Den engelske dronning Elizabeth kan fejre 60-års jubilæum og jeg kan fejre at jeg er nået op på 100 "followers"!
Tusind tak til alle der følger med på bloggen, og stort tillykke til dronning Elizabeth.
Jeg vil straks gå i gang med at lave miniaturer til en 100-followers-give-away.

The english Queen Elizabeth can celebrate her 60 years jubilee and I can celebrate I have reached 100 followers!
Thanks a lot to all of you following the blog, and congratulations to Queen Elizabeth.
I'll immidiatly start making miniatures to a 100-followers-give-away.

Liljekonvaller/Lily-of-the-valley

Som sædvanlig har jeg haft travlt med en masse forskellige ting, men aldrig mere travlt end der er tid til at tage lidt blomster ind fra haven.
Det behøver ikke være en stor og prangende buket, men en lille smule blomster i en vase, gør nu altså en forskel for mig.
Mine liljekonvaller synger på sidste vers, så jeg var simpelthen nødt til at prøve at lave dem i miniaturer også, hvilket Marie var udmærket tilfreds med.
Jeg har forøvrigt ikke set hende de sidste par dage, da jeg kom til at nævne at det nok var på tide at komme lidt videre med hendes sommerhus (The Arthur).
Hun sidder og bladrer i nogle bøger, jeg har lånt af en veninde, om sommerhusindretning.

As usual I've been busy with a lot of different things, but I always have the time to pick some flowers in the garden.
It doesn't have to be a large and luxuorius bunch, but just a few flowers in a vase, does make a difference for me.
My lilies-of-the-valley have almost finished blooming, so I had to try making them i miniature too, which made Marie very delighted.
I haven't seen her for a couple of days by the way, 'cause I mentioned it was about time to get on with building her summerhouse (The Arthur).
She's looking in some books about how to furnish a summerhouse I've borrowed from a friend of mine.
