I've been playing with some other fantastical craftsters in the
Wee House Craftalong. Seriously, come check it out! But be warned, making little things is just like meth except it'll be your crafting area and not your face that becomes a complete mess.
Anywho, I've been feverishly plugging away and can now show off The Storyteller's House!
It's actually quite small. The base measures just 10.5" x 7" and the house is around 18" tall. On to the pics...
The mossy roof is dotted with toadstools and mushrooms. Someone has lost a kite up there too. No worries, there's a grumpy hare who live in that dark hole and I'm sure he'll knock it off.
There are also three mice who scurry about the rooftop.
These milk bottles by the front door are one of my very favourite things in this house.
I've taken out the stairs and opted for a magic bean stalk instead. Much more sensible as it takes up far less space.
This is the entry/mudroom.
The storytelling room. This is where the beanstalk sprouted one Wednesday morning. There's a pumpkin patch at the base.
I bought this perfect little rocking chair at an auction last year. I think it was a dollar. It's just the right amount of rusty.
Up the stalk on the second floor is the bedroom. Because the best ideas come just as your about to fall asleep there's paper and a quill sitting beside the bed. Because you can't always read what you've scribbled in the dark there are a bunch of crumpled up papers on the other side.
On the wall there's a bumblebee coocoo clock. I would like to add some striped stockings on that hanger.
The next room is the study. Crammed with books, scrolls, papers.
The little matchbox desk opens to reveal papers, stamps and pen nibs.
Last we have the attic. More books and scrolls, game pieces, an old chair, a nest of golden eggs, a picture of Hans Christian Andersen and a message in a bottle.
Hope you enjoyed the tour!
