The food was fantastic and the kids were very tired. They returned to their hotel, took baths, and had hot cocoa before going to bed.Karriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10355486873482694318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733413544700041086.post-66562938035037560592011-03-29T10:41:00.000-07:002011-03-29T10:41:38.671-07:00Update on the house<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The house is coming along walls and flooring bases have been installed.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--x7U0KLQV8Y/TY_piY6yF-I/AAAAAAAAE9w/B8hzifoSQKc/s1600/img_1834.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--x7U0KLQV8Y/TY_piY6yF-I/AAAAAAAAE9w/B8hzifoSQKc/s320/img_1834.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />

It is made by Real Good Toys. Hubby is helping me construct the house. I wanted to do a modern house. I am also working on a lighthouse with a 1920's theme.<br />
<br />
Since I am dealing with a current time frame, I decided I needed a modern family and want to have some fun! Thus, Marc, Lucy, Cooper, and Ivy came along. They will be the newest family to live on Isle of Mead. (My mini country)<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">So the story begins!</b> Marc and Lucy are having a house built on the Isle of Mead. Since they are from North Carolina and both attended UNC at Chapel Hill, the outside of the house will be painted in UNC colors.<br />
<br />
Now the biggest job is deciding on wallpaper, flooring and other details of the inside of house.<br />
<br />
Lucy is homeschooling Cooper and Ivy.<br />
<br />
Cooper is 8 years old and has a very vivid imagination. He decided that since he is going to live on an island, Pirates are going to be the theme of his room. Ivy, on the other hand, is 5 and loves butterflies.<br />
<br />
Because the house is done with a farmhouse look on the outside, Lucy wants a farmhouse type kitchen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She really wants to do Roosters, Hens, and Chicks in her kitchen.<br />
<br />
The family is planning a trip very soon to Washington D.C. for the Cherry Blossom Festival.Karriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10355486873482694318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733413544700041086.post-12539252313397636142011-01-22T15:26:00.001-08:002011-01-22T15:26:26.053-08:00Some neat finds for miniature stuff<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_65VxJpMgl98/TTtXlig8moI/AAAAAAAADy8/2q1hI1GVNgQ/s1600/IMG_1740.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_65VxJpMgl98/TTtXlig8moI/AAAAAAAADy8/2q1hI1GVNgQ/s320/IMG_1740.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>While working for J Crew at their warehouse sale, I found these cute childrens necklaces for $2 each...can't wait to use them in a mini sceneKarriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10355486873482694318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733413544700041086.post-34280249611334202002011-01-07T17:57:00.000-08:002011-01-07T18:01:49.717-08:00First miniature clothing article I have ever made<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_65VxJpMgl98/TSfFT371LXI/AAAAAAAADuc/1bNiz-dCriI/s1600/Front+Gold+Jacket+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_65VxJpMgl98/TSfFT371LXI/AAAAAAAADuc/1bNiz-dCriI/s320/Front+Gold+Jacket+2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
