What a Busy Fun Day at KDF

We are back from Kensington Fair. Very tired but very fun!
Here is me at the station, I got a new orange Tutu for the day.
All of it was fun as I have not been on a train for a long time, and never on a tube train at all.
There were lots of people there and we had to stand and wait to get in.

First we said hello to Nikki and gave her chocolate cakes to eat so she wasnt hungry. . I was so happy as her stall was so pretty and she had given me a gift. It is lots and lots of things to play with in my house, and material so we can make jars too. Here is a picture of all the things, lots and lots!
Nikki was so busy and needed help!
I had £20 from Daddy so I chose a book of a dragon eye. I wanted it as I liked the colour of it, it is orange and the same as my skirt! I wish I could have got the hat to match!

I also forgot I wanted some of the pointy shoes and the sewing basket, we were supposed to go back to look for them after it got quieter but forgot as it was so busy!

We saw Auntie Kat who was all in black with red hair, very cool!
I had a gift from her too of lots of material and beads and ribbon, and a hat with a gingerbread man on. So thankyou to Nikki and Auntie Kat as I love my presents very much.

It was very busy so we walked down to the stall with Julie and Jain and there were lots and lots of dolls there! We gave them cakes too to eat on the stall.
I liked Julie's tiny wizard in the small scale but I dont have anywhere to put him.
From Jain Mama got me a lovely mouse for my Brambly hedge house with a little basket and hat just like i wanted to have! Jain was very very kind as she had made me a crib with a tiny tiny baby mouse inside just for me out of a walnut just as i wanted !
It is all in a pink bed and I love it so much thankyou Jain!
We went back to see them later and Nikki too but she was still busy.

The lady that runs the show gave me a mouse hunt form and you have to look on all the stalls for a tiny mouse head which is hiding and write the stall name on the paper. If you win you get 2 mice so I hope I win but I didnt get all the mice as there were 3 floors of stalls to see and it was too busy to see into all of them. Some people hid them too hard too!

Our friends had the best stalls of the show! I liked some others , one lady sold animals but they were too much money! One had tiny toys but we dont have a toy shop but julie would like the toys !

When we were going out we saw lots of jars for the Mouse House. We got some pickles, fruit in jars, lemon curd, pineapple and berries. These were quite alot of money but i really liked them for the kitchen so I was treated . I dont like the little labels as much as nikkis so as I now have lots of labels Nikki sent me I can cange them to make them lokk even nicer

I was very happy and lucky and now want to start on my walls so we can begin the kitchen !

I will put my mice on later when the camera is working again.

I hope you like my show report.

We are Off to Kensington Fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Friday me and mummy are going to Kensington and we'll be looking forward to seeing everyone who is going.
I'd love to find something that I like for my Brambly hedge house I'm working on at the moment.
I'm really exited to meet Julie, Jane, Auntie Kat, Michelle, Nikki and Janice.
I am a bit shy but I would like to meet you all.
I hope to see you on Friday!!
Here is a picture of our camera we'll be taking and our tickets.
My ticket is the pink one and Mamma's is the black one.
I hope we will meet everyone there I'm so nervous (but exited!)

This my first time to London and I have been on a train but not a tube train so that is new too. We will take pictures of the whole day to put on my blog.
See you all soon!
Love Lola xx

oven
Fireplace
Half tester Bed
Walnut crib
sink
chairs

apples big and small
big apples to thread with needle and cotton
daisy chains
washing line with pegs and washing
hats, straw ones
little mouse clothes and pile of washing
acorns and tiny pine cones and oak leaves
cheeses
baby blocks and bay toys for the floor
frames with mouse pictures in

Lots of things to collect. here is a picture of the things I have found in Mamas boxes and have put in a box of mine to keep for when the house is ready to fill.
Our first job is to go shopping for polyfiller or something to make the walls bumpy and to do the beams. Also to choose paint for the walls. It may be messy to do the walls but we only have to do downstairs as I am keeping the flowery wallpaper upstairs . I think mice like flowers.

Also this week on ebay we got a good book with patterns to make Brambly mice clothes. But when we got it the scale is too large. it is for bigger mice. Does anyone know how to make the patterns smaller to fit in the house? We can use it to make clothes for the washing line. We can scan the pattern but dont know how to amke it small to 1 12th ?

I will take my list to the Dollshouse fair and hope to buy some things there for it .
Today it is cold and raining so we wont go and get the paints today. I am doing something for someone in america today to send to them. I like to get things in the post so I hope she will like it too. So I will be busy doing that.
Have a nice Day today and I hope you liked to see my list.

My Kat Hats

Here are my Hats from Auntie Kat. My Best one is the Hatter steam punk hat as it is very different. Last week A box came from Auntie Kat which was just for me. It was this table for my hat shop and i really love it so thankyou. The other Hatter hat is just like the one in the film! I have a little box for it to go in and it will have more hats and some materials and things for making hats. This I will do soon too. I have to collect more things for it first.
Then another box came with hats for Mama and for me and in it was a flying witch hat and it was for Mama but it looks better in my shop!!

Today I made a very big list by looking at all the pictures in my books and writing down what furniture I need and what little things. It is a Big list! We have lots of boxes of furniture so that is good and lots of other things I can use. I will take a pictures of all the things I have picked out of Mamas boxes to use to show you. Then we will make lots of things too. We have found some things in magazines we want to make for it and I have seen lots of ideas now from Rosannas friend and other blogs that I would like in my house.Rosannas friends has a bigger house than mine so now I have said I would like to build an extra part onto my house for maybe a store room. Not sure how to do this though.Maybe also it would be good to make the outside like a tree not so square but I dont know how to do this too!

I am going to school tomorrow but will put more pictures of what we have found on another day soon.
Hope you like my hats. I do very very much.

Hello and Thankyou to all my Followers and Picture for Meygan

Thankyou to Nikki, I want to meet you so much in London and am excited! I wish I had a stall too. The house you wrote to me about is so pretty and i would like mine to look like that. Also thankyou Rosanna for the house you sent me too as this is very beautiful too and I can learn lots from them both. Hugs for you all for following me! Thankyou Auntie Kat for telling about my blogxxx

Today I have taken a photo of my Brambley book set. There are 8 books all have great pictures in of the mouse's houses. I have a DVd to watch too and will sit and make lists of what we like and need for the house as I read the books and watch the DVD. I think thats a good idea to make lists!

And for Meygan who is 11, Hello! here is mine and my little sister Lacey's own fairy tower. It is very pink and full of fairies and princesses so we love to play with it. I hope you like it Meygan.

My New Miniature Project, The Brambly Hedge Mouse House

Hello my name is Lola and I love Miniatures! My Mamma (Kate) came home with a project for us to work on.
It was a two story dolls house with two rooms which were the same size.
First I wanted it as a hat shop but I thought that would be better as a 1 story house.
Inspired by the Brambly Hedge books by Jill Barklem I wanted to make my house into a country mouse house.
The lower floor will be the kitchen, and the upper floor will be the bedroom.
Please follow this blog as I will carry on working and there will be loads of of stuff about the house for you to see as we work on it. Also I will show what we make, how we make it, and what we buy, so lots to see!
