glenda howell this beautiful scarf was made by glenda howell of peppercorn minis she gave it to me for no reason other than that i had commented on her post that this scarf is right up my alley glenda had written that she made this scarf using noro silk and wool mix for yarn although the yarn for this scarf was store bought she had once spun these yarn herself after shearing the sheep also by her she then made rectangles using a hand held 6 x 4 weavette loom and then crocheted each piece together the sheep was probably fed by glenda too i now own this scarf that is made by the multi talented glenda s hands can you imagine how in awe i am of her or maybe you can t by the way not only was weaving a big part of her life before miniatures glenda was also a lace maker and an embroiderer i remembered how overwhelmed and over the moon i was when i found out that this super talented woman wanted a pair of my shoes i received her parcel on 8th july 2010 but did not post about it because i was waiting for the right occasion today is the right occasion and you will find out why when i complete my post on my other mini blog at the maharajah s palace needless to say this is now my all time favourite scarf i place it near where i work on my minis so that i can use it see it and appreciate it often it also serves a reminder of the wonderful people i have met on blogland thank you glenda

australia some of you may already know that i run regularly on sunday mornings i run with a group of very dear and wonderful friends who often look for interesting routes so that we are motivated to wake up at 6am sometimes 5 just to run positive attracts by edwin cheong singapore it has become almost a habit now that even when i run on my own i look for places of interest once i even diverted and shopped for 6 hours instead monday night we hit jackpot when we ran to see the outdoor light installations by international artists along marina bay i took my camera along and even though we ran for 2 over hours it felt shorter because it was wonderful by angela chong this is one of my favourite installations i love the title which is a symbol for the backside the description says this installation is a functional sculpture which illuminates at night while allowing the public to use it as a sitting area cher kuan if you are reading this i took the last pic to prove that i took the photographs yes it is with the same camera that you own eat your heart out human tiles by ocubo nuno maya portugal carole purnelle belgium another of my favourite the pattern on the wall changes depending on who is standing in front of the projector singapore flora by warren langley australia giant can also be beautiful which is why i have decided that i will make this post here featuring non mini things for the first time the living project by kenny eng allan lim sun yu li singapore details of the living project which is made with plastic cups and plastic bottles the public is encouraged to add to the installation with their own plastic cups last but not least the changing colours of the whirlpool by martin klaasen shane richardson pascal petitejeab australia singapore thanks to my

artisan exhibitions running routes friday october 15 2010 a japanese ningyo doll i saw this ningyo human form in japanese doll at an asian antique shop in tanglin mall when i was out running last friday the run started at 10am and i didn t get home till 6pm that day because i ended up shopping along the orchard road belt i usually do not go for traditional dolls especially the japanese ones but this one caught my eye it was supposedly 50 years old the fabric does look faded and the details were quite remarkable some of my friends who have read my post on the krishnanagar dolls on the other blog will know how much i like hair on dolls you can see why i am charmed by the hair on ojiisan granpa in japanese it s so neat but in the end what really sold me was the fact that the doll is made of plastic i did a double take when i found out are you surprise too i had thought it was clay until i held it in my hands and it was so light punch and jiji chatting in my garden whilst punch is working posted by sans at 10 15 2010 07 59 00 pm 8 comments labels dollhouse dolls friday september 24 2010 gifts swaps thrills tomohachi i am an avid follower of tomohachi s blog she was introduced to me by 2 other singapore based miniature artisans cindy and asuka who knew her from way back when on 1st september 2010 tomahachi organised a giveaway to celebrate her anniversary on blogland 5 for her japanese blog and 2 for her english one she announced the winner on 8th sept 2010 and 5 days later my goodies galore arrived from japan to singapore firstly there is this absolutely amazing strawberry container they are made with perspex material for the transparent part and plastic for the cover just like the real thing a neatly packed trio of macarons are tucked inside she also made a charming country box with 2 bottles of olive oil extra virgin and virgin with apples to match here are her super realistic breads and cheese there is also a bag of scallop biscuits that my nephew will love if they are life size i believe she designed this mug herself and of course she very considerately put in a bag of marigold tea and a paper crane for company arigato gozaimasu tomoko i will treasure your gifts always posted by sans at 9 24 2010 09 12 00 pm 7 comments labels gifts tuesday august 31 2010 the sandra morris colllection sometime in april this year sandra morris of dimunitive dolls made the difficult decision to part with some of her much loved dollhouse books books which she had collected for the past 25 years i wasted no time and made a beeline for them i bought so many that sandra had to split the parcels into 3 different lots she is from uk and i am in singapore to save on shipping i picked surface mail i knew i would have no problem receiving them because my experience with uk surface mail is they come slowly but surely i received parcel 3 6 days after they were posted out in sandra s words that s not just amazing it s practically impossible it must have gone by air instead of surface mail even if i d got on a boat in england along with the parcels i wouldn t have arrived in singapore yet these are the books in parcel 3 dolls by max von boehn

labels real life books friday august 20 2010 american architectural styles and suggested colour scheme pt 3 dutch revival dutch colonial modelled on the frame houses of the early dutch settlers around new york new jersey and delaware the dutch revival house is a common suburban sight the style usually features a sloping gambrel roof which jutt out over the facade and a second storey front that rises from the roof like an oversize dormer these revived dutch colonials enjoyed their greatest popularity during the suburbia building boom of the 1920s to the 1940s but variations on the type are still being built tudor revival there s not much of the late elizabethan about the american suburbs except for the rambling tudor revival homes of the early twentieth century and their later more modest cousins thee slate roofed half timbered houses were inspired by the english renaissance houses of the sixteenth and early seventeenth century and featured steeply pitched rooflines and rows of casement windows soon the style was adapted to smaller more middle class suburban homes though it made use of the same elements steep roofs overlapping gables decorative half timbers or stone masonry and stucco exteriors tudor revival was tremendously popular in the 1920s and early 1930s spanish colonial revival in the 1910s and 1920s when architects and homebuilders in the northeast looked to the past for inspiration they tapped into their english colonial heritage but in areas such as florida california and the southwest the heritage was spanish and the style it produced was powerfully mediterranean in flavour thick textured stucco walls red tile roofs arched windows and heavy wood doors are all hallmarks of the style which continues to be popular today lending design elements to everything from new housing to shopping plazas garrison colonial revival the garrison colonial was one of the most popular of the later colonial revival styles reaching its peak from around 1935 to 1955 though adaptations of the style are still built today the hallmark of the garrison is a slight second storey overhang with the first storey often clad in brick and the second in wood siding many have a gabled side addition that houses either a garage or a family room split level as american as a backyard barbecue teh classic split level was born during the post war building boom of the 1950s and 1960s with a single storey at one end usually the living room and kitchen and two at the other sunken garage and family room below and bedrooms above the split level was soon a familiar sight throughout the countries as cars opened up farmland to residential development this is the end of the series on early american architecture i hope you ll find this write up useful for the building of
