I have not been around much lately but I'm back and I have a it more time for blogging. I will have some gifts to show you that I received from <a href="http://drorasminimundo.blogspot.ie/2015/02/a-very-easy-shoes-rack-tutorial.html?showComment=1424875639764#c8741272311492350038" target="_blank">Drora</a> , from <a href="http://minifanaticus.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Jane</a> and from <a href="http://www.plushpussycat.com/" target="_blank">Jennifer</a> but I will do this next time.<br />
For the moment just a quick one to let you see a felted family I made and each character has its own accessory.<br />

I haven't been posting on my blog for a while now and as the last things I made were gifts for friends, I couldn't' really post about them!! Other than that, I'm back to work and I don't have the same free time I had before. Still, I try to follow my friends on their blogs and sorry if sometimes I answer late, very late!! I've also tried to set up an Etsy shop to sell felting needles with handles made by me and that too, took some time from my already very little time!!<br />
<br />
Anyway, here I am with some more gifts to show you and some little things I made. I know <a href="http://minifanaticus.blogspot.ie/2014/06/now-for-something-little-darker.html" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Jane</a><span style="text-align: center;"> of Minifanaticus</span> was going to set up a 1:48 Bakery and I though to make some cakes for her to use in her scene. This was my first time working in such a small scale and I have to say that I have a new found respect for people that work in this scale.....difficult!!! As I needed some decorations for these cakes, I decided to shrink a strawberry cane that I made more than 1 year ago. I was wondering how small I could go with this cane and this is the result:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrnsVdc2_BuHGJDfjsCbPU18PSda5fGwJy3KdqliDdIV39NXD0zzt7lbqRM70ehKXq704tTeXOzFwVBrXtOXnRKX6rGOTk7wcMofmHYixN7pfjJRMO1Od1PEqjyOd43_Mjt9GnahLVa7js/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrnsVdc2_BuHGJDfjsCbPU18PSda5fGwJy3KdqliDdIV39NXD0zzt7lbqRM70ehKXq704tTeXOzFwVBrXtOXnRKX6rGOTk7wcMofmHYixN7pfjJRMO1Od1PEqjyOd43_Mjt9GnahLVa7js/s1600/005.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The strawberry on the left is 1:24, while the one of the right is the 1:48. I have to say that I am amazed at how well the clay keeps the details, even at such super small scale. I could pull the cane until it started to break and still, I could pull those broken pieces to make even smaller strawberry slices.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the cane that it became 2 mm large after reducing and reducing and reducing. I have to say that I really like the fact that the details are still there, very clear to see.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also made this cake holder that maybe it's a bit too big but <a href="http://minifanaticus.blogspot.ie/2014/06/now-for-something-little-darker.html" target="_blank">Jane</a> can confirm if I made it too large for the 1:48 scale. Anyway, I made this with a bead cup, some card board and some lace that I stained with a silver pen. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are the 3 cakes I made and I can't stress enough how difficult it was to work with this scale...it's almost impossible to handle these tiny things and you need a LOT of patience!! But surely, it was worth all the effort as the smaller, the cuter, for me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now, I want to show you the gift I got, not just for the gifts but for the wonderful miniatures that these friends made. I'll go by chronological order as I received them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First is <a href="http://drorasminimundo.blogspot.ie/2014/06/simonas-new-gift.html" target="_blank">Drora</a> that some time ago sent me this wonderful mini scene made entirely by herself. </div>

I can't tell you how small everything is.....like, very, super, small!!!! The dog is super tiny as everything else like the flowers, the meat on the grill and all the rest. I think she worked with tweezers because you can't handle such super tiny items!!!</div>

Then I got some gifts that I wasn't really expecting and she caught me by surprise.....I'm talking about <a href="http://miniaturasdevictoria.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Victoria</a> of Miniaturas de Victoria. Victoria won one my giveaway and very kindly she sent me some gifts back. These for me are "special" because they remind me of Italy, especially the city where I came from.</div>

I can't describe the amount of details that are in each and every piece she made. Everything looks very real and it feels real!!! The pots seem made with the same materials real pots are made and even the soil on top of them, seem real soil!! Same thing for all the ceramics and veg she made. And the little stitched picture is just darling and super small. I don't think I could stitch at such a small scale. Anyway, she told me that in the real picture there were 1 boy and one girl and she changed the boy to look like a girl to represent me and my sister....how lovely is that??? Very thoughtful and I really appreciate that! </div>

Jane sent some very very cute stuff made by her and some lovely items useful to create anything you might want, like the tiny no holes beads, some green plants, some super tiny stickers and some tiny sea shells. There also is some sparkling sugar, which I love and 2 toffee apples which look real!! She put everything in some very useful plastic boxes which I was already thinking I could use to create some little wool scene inside....who knows what they will end up with!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I forgot to take a detailed picture of the pumpkin with the candle on top of it....you can see it in the pic above, another of Jane's wonderful creations!!</div>

Some of you might remember about these bears. I posted about them some time ago, they had no eyes and they were a bit skinnier!! I made a few adjustments and this is the final look. I know the bigger one looks more like a mouse than a bear but even with few adjustments his face didn't come out well.</div>

I'm not going to answer all comments in the giveaway but I do read them all, always and I do cherish them.<br />
I recently received some very cute items made by Esther of <a href="http://mimundodeminiatura.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Mi Mundo de Miniatura</a>. I always love what Esther does because whatever she creates, she uses very simple items that many people would not think of or see them in the same way as she does. Let's say that she has a special eye and imagination when it comes to creating ingenious miniatures! Other than being very talented, she also is very caring and thoughtful. She recently wrote a post about me and obviously she hit me right in the spot! I have to say that I melted and I felt very emotional :) Who wouldn't like such attention?<br />
I really loved the way the items were packed: very professional like if I had received a package from an internet shop :)<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">I really liked the popcorn machine when she made one in this </span><a href="http://mimundodeminiatura.blogspot.ie/2014/04/pop-corn.html" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank">tutorial</a><span style="text-align: start;"> on her blog</span><span style="text-align: start;"> and when I saw it between the items in package I was very happy!! On the sides of the popcorn machine there are 2 lovely containers....another one of those items that only her creative eyes can see already transformed, with all potential to be changed to something useful in the miniature world.</span></div>

Dolls HouseHi all! As I said in my previous post this giveaway is a dolls house and finally I found and put all pieces together and I have it ready. The house has never been put together and is brand new.<br />
Thank you all for asking about my sister. She is better but because she has MS she will maybe never (unless they find a cure and the medicine today is moving very fast) be well.<br />
Regarding the berries, is actually not as easy as just making a round shape on the tip of the toothpick. I tried to attach the beads in a round shape but because I needed more layers of those to build up a ball, it would become too big and I would loose the scale. The toothpick is not the best because of its shape. You need to fill out the very tip where there is less wood. As <a href="http://minifanaticus.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Jane</a> said in her comment, maybe attaching them to wire it would be easier to create a ball shape....but then, she said she tried and they don't come out nice so I wouldn't want to waste my time.......<br />
I made more things with polymer clay but it will not be me to show you those, but it will be <a href="http://www.plushpussycat.com/" target="_blank">Jennifer</a> whenever she will get her package!! If I show you what I made I will ruin her surprise and I have already shown the berries cheesecake!<br />
In these last 2 days I have been going around blogs to see what you have been doing and I'm getting there in visiting you all. I'm a good girl!! :) Just have a bit of patience and I'll reach you all!<br />
<br />
The giveaway this month is a dolls house. You will receive the dolls house in pieces and then you will have to build it. Obviously I will send the plans to whoever will win the house. This is the house that was featured in the animated movie UP. It has 2 floors and you can paint it and decorated as you most like it and I might even get ideas from you on how to paint mine as I still have to build it!!!! :)<br />
<br />
Everybody can participate. No matter where you live. To participate you have to be a follower and leave a comment.<br />
I will draw a name on the evening of the 1st of May. I'm choosing this date because my family is coming over to visit me and I will ask my beloved sister to pick out a name.<br />
<br />
Good luck to all of you!!<br />
<br />

I am so sorry that I have not been blogging for so long but as my sister is sick and we live in different countries, I had to help her with some things so I had to travel and also, I need to go back to work so I have been doing a lot of interviews with companies and job agencies.<br />
I have to say that I did miss to read all of your posts guys!! I always enjoy to see what you create and how you create and I will do my best to see what you have been up to by coming to your blog and commenting.<br />
<br />
I have been doing some items with polymer clay and I wanted to ask you all what's your method of making blackberries and raspberries. I use a method that I read in one of Angie Scarr book where you make some molds with super tiny beads glued to a toothpick and I wanted to know if there was another method of making really small fruits.<br />
For those of you that don't know this method or don't have Angie's book, I'm going to post below the steps to make them.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Put some glue (I used superglue) on the tip of the toothpick and then put the toothpick in the container with the caviar beads. They will attach to the tip of the toothpick.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Prepare your mold material and once ready just put the tip inside the mold. Don't make the mold too small or it will be impossible to bend the mold when you need to remove the berry from the inside. Wait until the mold material is dry and remove the toothpick.</div>

Now, with a toothpick, get one drop, and I mean 1, bend the mold a bit and put the drop inside the small hole. Try to move the liquid around with the toothpick otherwise you will have pockets of air that will ruin the berries. Once you do that, you might see the liquid go further down, so just add another small drop to fill the mold. </div>

Put them in the oven and once cold just bend the mold to remove the berries from it. You might need to cut the top, to make the berries shorter.</div>

I also made some plates with paper clay. I was looking for an heavier and less plasticky material than polymer clay and I have to say that I like plates made with paper clay more than polymer clay. They feel better (for me!!!) and sanding this clay it's a joy!!!! Very easy, very quick.</div>

These are 2 of the plates I made with paper clay. I used metal plates to get the shape and then I sanded them. The 2 plates you see in this picture, are just out of the metal plates and then need to be sanded. I'll show you how they came out as soon as I paint them.</div>

I found the dolls house I was talking about while I was preparing some boxes to send to Italy. You might wonder why I'm going to give away a dolls house.... well.... I have 2, the same, which were bought by mistake. Actually I bought one meanwhile somebody knew I wanted this dolls house, bought another one for me. The person that bought it for me didn't know that I had already bought one, so I'm going to give one away! I just need to put all the pieces together and then I will post the giveaway.</div>

Welcome to all new followers! I think I am following back all of you but if you don't see me between your followers, then, please, let me know and I will be happy to follow you! Sometimes it's not too easy to find your blog through your Blogger account.<br />
I am in the middle of making lots of roof tiles for my needle felted house and as I was a bit tired of felting the same thing over and over, I decided to make some little bears. I wanted to make a very tiny bear so I made the first one and it wasn't tiny enough.....so I made another one and this one too, it wasn't tiny enough for me....so I made a third one.....the pink one....I would say that one is tiny enough...just 2 cm.<br />
I will add glass eyes as soon as I get them. I order my glass eyes from Germany and they should be here pretty soon! I couldn't wait to post!! :) Hugs to all!<br />

I would like to welcome all the new followers and thank you all for participating in my giveaway. I'll have a look at my new followers' blog very soon. I just haven't had time recently to do much!<br />
In this part of the tutorial I added color to the walls, to the door and the windows. I added a brown border to the door entry and the window frame. I also made a small lamp to add to the front of the house and I felted a pot on one side of the walls of the house. I will make some roof tiles to apply to the pieces I made for the roof in my next and hopefully last part of the tutorial with needle felting. I hope to have time to make some polymer clay stuff on time for Valentine's.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did the same for the shutters and added some brown wool and felted them until ready.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To attach the shutters and the door I needed hinges, which I already made in my previous tutorial but as they came out a bit too thick I decided to make new hinges: thinner and a bit longer. On the left side you can see the hinge finished and on the right is the starting piece required to make this type of hinge.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I started out felting a small, rectangular piece of black wool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I jabbed right in the middle to create a heart shape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I rounded the corners of the rectangular, just by jabbing on top of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once I rounded both corners, I re jabbed in the middle to highlight the heart shape.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I moved to the side of the "heart" and jabbed to give an indent on both the left and right side.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I continued to felt on the sides until I got a rounded shape.</div>

Next, I wanted to put some decorations on the external walls, so I decided to make a pot with a climbing plant coming out of it and maybe going around the walls of the house. So I felted a small rectangular as the top of the pot.</div>

I decided to add a very small window to one of the side walls....unfortunately that's how I am...I start something but I never know how this "something" is going to proceed...I might do something, then change it and then change it again if I don't like it. And I keep adding things which make my work NEVER ENDING!!! :) :)</div>

I hope you are already having a great start of this new year 2014!! :)<br />
<br />
I have only started recently, Dec '13 to post on my blog, and I have only posted about needle felting. But I do love miniatures too, I admire them, I buy them, I make them with polymer clay and I read about them. Some time ago I came across a blog "Dollhouse Miniature Furniture - Tutorials, 1 inch mini" and I was impressed by the super detailed instructions on all tutorials that Kris, the owner of the blog, makes. She makes some really great, very well made miniature furniture and items for the house. She mostly uses materials that you can find anywhere, like paper, card stock, glue and she also writes all the measurements for people to follow and make outstanding pieces in 1:12. On the left of her blog, you can see all the pictures from people that have made furniture pieces with her tutorials.<br />
<br />
Here are some example of the items she makes and made tutorials for :<br />

I wanted to share her website with you, because I find it interesting and I thought you might too. She posts one tutorial per month and remember that if you ever decide to follow one of these tutorials and make something, you can paint your items as you like, making them fit perfectly in your doll house or your miniature space.<br />
Oh....she even makes vases, some very good looking ones, with quilling paper and uses card stock for many, many of the projects!!!<br />
<br />
Again, this is Kris Compas, at <a href="http://1inchminisbykris.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Dollshouse Miniature Furniture - Tutorials, 1 inch minis</a><br />
<br />
I will post again soon about my little house. Until then I hope you find Kris' tutorials easy to make and give it a try. If you do, let me know!<br />
Hugs!!<br />

I wish my readers, few but cherished, a new year full of joy, things you love, you desire, miniatures, cute things and lots and lots of love!!<br />
I'm looking forward to the new year to do more tutorials on needle felting, polymer clay and to share in general my knowledge and the useful finds I stumble across on the web.<br />

I couldn't be with my family so my Christmas was just a day like any other and because of that I had some time to continue with the house.<br />
In this part of the tutorial, I am going to add a window, shutters and the door to the already <a href="http://softandmalleable.blogspot.ie/2013/12/felted-house-tutorial-not-finished.html" target="_blank">felted house</a> base that I did in the first part of this tutorial. Unfortunately I don't know the total grams of wool that I used to do these 5 pieces. I usually don't weight the wool, but in my first tutorial I had an electronic scale and I did get the grams of every piece to make things easier for people that don't have a clue of how much wool to use. I don't have the scale anymore but I'm looking for another one so that I can start weight the wool I use and state how much I use for each piece. For the moment....sorry!! Anyway, one of the beauty of wool, is that it's very easy to fix things. You can always add or remove what you have felted to/from a piece. So, when you don't know the exact weight of something, just start with a little bit and then add more wool as needed.<br />

I started getting the carton shape I used to make the window in the <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfTNY-pmGx0UAX3nJ7vMhS1NDf54vCKctfK_JLrfMM6RGrcf52jAJQExh2nGqOAUAq52yWzRzju5AmakUm49-EFPvOS03vFNfsTenGIR5_JvdgesgDu-_nJ8QC93s5BOEon0-zxkgYXEj6/s400/2.JPG" target="_blank">back part of the house </a> and I put some wool to get an approximate shape to make a small shelf to attach to the outside of the window. My carton shape is 8cm x 5cm.</div>

I used the pen tool for this but you can use a triangular 40 g needle. I didn't felt too tightly and I got the piece out of the carton shape to make it smaller by felting on all sides.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I did clean all edges by putting the piece in the middle of 2 cards (<a href="http://softandmalleable.blogspot.ie/p/italiano_1837.html" target="_blank">see here</a>) and felt all sides especially the longest sides because I want to make a small shelf and I needed the piece to shrink a lot. </div>

You can also clean the edges by putting the piece on your foam mat and jabbing all sides. I usually start with a 40 g triangular needle, then move to the 38 g star needle and finally I use a 40 g spiral needle. </div>

When I thought I reached the measurements I needed, I tried the shelf on the back wall of the house to see if it fitted. As you can see from the picture, my shelf still need a bit of felting on the right side as it is a bit too long.</div>

I'm felting the base with core wool and then I will cover and decorate it with colorful merino or Norwegian wool.<br />
*********************<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Ero insicura su che tipo di casa fare: casa di pan di zenzero o casa delle fatine e devo dire che non ho ancora deciso. Quindi intanto inzio a fare i muri e il tetto della casa e poi decidero'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Ho iniziato a feltrare i pezzi con della lana che uso per fare le basi di tutti gli oggetti che faccio e poi la ricopriro' con lana Merino o Norvegese.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
<b>Materials that I used:</b><br />
Core wool (6gr front wall, 6gr back wall, 6 gr each for left and right wall, 5gr each for left and right roof)<br />
Multineedle Pen,<br />
Spiral Needle 40 Gauge<br />
Star needle 38 Gauge<br />
Double star needle 38<br />
Foam pad<br />
Empty box of cereal (to cut out shapes)<br />
Lots of patience<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
You don't need to have many types of needles. You can do all with a normal, triangular 36 or 38 gauge needle and you can finish off with a finer needle like a 40 or 42 gauge.<br />
First of all I drew the house on a piece of paper just to decide how big I wanted it and to get the exact measurements in cm of each wall, the front and back of the house and the roof. I will need to felt 2 pieces each of wall, roof and house front and back.</div>
<div>
*********************<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">
Prima di tutto ho disegnato la casa su un pezzo di carta per decidere quanto doveva essere grande e per prendere le misure esatte in cm per i 2 muri laterali, il davanti e dietro della casa e il tetto.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Per fare i muri ho tagliato una forma rettangolare, della misura desiderata, da una scatola di cereali.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
I started making a rectangular shape with a cereal box to do the walls. I filled the carton shape with wool and I put some pins to hold the shape in place, at least for the first few jabs to get the right shape.<br />
*********************<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Ho riempito la forma in cartone con la lana ed ho messo degli spilli sui lati per mantenere la forma al proprio posto almeno per i primi colpetti per ottenere una forma approsimativa.</span></div>

Then I started to jab, jab, jab and I jabbed, jabbed, jabbed a little more!</div>

Once the wool started to compress, I removed the felted piece and turned it upside down and I felted a bit more.<br />
*********************<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Poi ho iniziato a dare dei colpi rapidi con l'ago e ancora e ancora e ancora!!! Una volta che la lana inizia a comprimersi, ho tolto il pezzo, l'ho girato dall'altro lato ed ho continuato a colpire e colpire e colpire con l'ago.</span></div>

It's important to felt on all the 4 sides to get a nice defined shape and I do this by putting the needle (or needles) against the side of the carton shape and felt up and down all along the sides. I also hold the carton shape in place while doing this. As the carton is not very hard, if I don't keep it in place it might move and I might not get a proper rectangular shape.<br />
Because I'm building walls, I need them to be very very hard, so that they can withstand the weight of the roof and still stay straight. So it's important to felt properly putting the time needed.<br />
*********************<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Ricordate di feltrare su tutti e 4 i lati per ottenere una forma rettangolare ben definita. Per fare questo, mettete l'ago (o gli aghi) sul lato interno del quadrato di cartone e colpite su e giu' lungo i lati. Quando fate questo vi consiglio di tenere il quadrato di cartone per evitare che perda la sua forma.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Siccome sto costruendo dei muri di una casa, mi servono super resistenti, che possano supportare il peso del tetto rimandendo in posizione. Quindi e' importante in questi passi, che la lana sia feltrata al massimo.</span></div>

Every now and then, I flip over the piece of wool so that it doesn't stick to the felt pad. Also, when I take it out of the carton shape, I touch it to see if there are any spots that are weaker and that might need more wool attached to them and also to feel if the piece is strong enough.<br />
*********************<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Ogni tot tempo girate il pezzo che state feltrando in modo che non si attacchi alla base di spugna (o schiuma) e toccatelo per rendervi conto se alcune parti sono piu' deboli ed hanno bisogno di piu' lana e quanto il pezzo e' resistente.</span><br />

You can also keep the piece against the light to see all the weaker spots that need more wool.<br />
*********************<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Potete anche tenere il pezzo attraverso una fonte di luce per vedere i punti che hanno bisogno di piu' lana.</span></div>

My piece needed more wool, so I just attached it over and felt more.<br />
*********************<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Se il pezzo ha bisogno di lana, aggiungetela e continuate a feltrare.</span></div>

Once I feel the piece has been felted enough (it's never enough for me and I go on for ages!!!) I moved to felt and finish the sides. I do this by putting the piece on my felting mat and felt side ways. I then use a multineedle tool or single needle tool to felt the sides.<br />
*********************<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Quando il pezzo e' stato feltrato abbastanza (non e' mai abbastanza per me e di solito continuo per ore e ore) potete concentrarvi a rifinire i lati. Potete fare questo con uno strumento con piu' aghi o solo con un ago.</span></div>
<div>

There also is another way of getting the sides, corners very clean, and this is by putting the piece of wool between 2 cards (credit cards type of thing) or 2 pieces of hard carton. I'll post a picture of this next time I find myself using this method.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Below, you can see on the right, one of the walls already felted to finish (almost) and on the left is the other wall that needs to be finished.</div>
<div>
*********************<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">C'e' un altro metodo per rifinire i lati e gli angoli usando 2 carte tipo di credito o 2 pezzi di cartone non troppo morbido. Pubblichero' una foto su questo metodo la prossima volta che lo usero'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Sotto, potete vedere sulla destra uno dei 2 muri gia' quasi finito e sulla sinistra l'altro muro che deve ancora essere finito.</span></div>

Because I am making walls for a house, then they need to be as strong as possible and also pretty thick. The thickest, the harder, the harder the better chance of the house holding the weight of everything else.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After the walls were finished, I moved to make the front and the back of the house. To do this, I did the same as for the walls and made a shape out of carton. This is only to give me the initial shape.<br />
*********************<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Se fate i muri per una casa allora devono essere resistenti e spessi. Piu' sono spessi, piu' sono duri, piu' resistenti saranno e piu' possibilita' ci saranno che la vostra casa restera' in piedi e sara' in grado di sostenere il peso del tetto.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br />
Dopo aver finito i muri, ho iniziato a fare il davanti e dietro della casa. Per fare questi, ho usato lo stesso metodo per fare i muri ed ho ritagliato la forma da una scatola di cereali. La forma di cartone mi serve solo per ottenere una forma approsimativa iniziale.</span></div>

I cut a slice from a toilet roll tube to make the door, cut this slice at the bottom and attached the little flaps to the bottom of the house shape with sellotape.<br />
*********************<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Ho tagliato una striscia da un rotolo di carta igienica per fare la porta ed ho tagliato questa stricia nella parte inferiore e ho attaccato le piccole alette alla forma fatta in cartone per il davanti della casa.</span></div>

Once finished with the back wall of the house, I cut another shape out of carton, this time to make the roof. I am going to need 2 pieces for the roof. I filled the carton shape with wool and started to felt.<br />

<br />
Once I got the desired shape, I took it the piece out of the carton shape a few times to switch sides and felt on both top and bottom. Once done I took the piece out of the carton to felt it properly.<br />

<br />
Seen that I have all the other pieces ready, I am going to put them together with pins so that I can check if the roof is of the right shape and size and how many cm I still have to felt the sides of the roof without the fear of the piece getting too small.<br />

With the measurements checked and fine, I felted the other side of the roof, using the same piece of carton I used for the piece of roof I just made.<br />
So now I have all 6 pieces of my house ready.<br />

I know, the back wall of the house looks smaller....but, trust me.....it's not! :)<br />
With the pieces ready, I put them together with pins to have a look at the finished house.<br />

Well, it's not finished, not even close, but the foundations are ready. I still need to do the door, to attach shutters, a small balcony and probably a chimney. An outside garden, maybe with a tree and some clothing left to dry and then there is the inside furniture.... Before I attach the pieces together and cover it with some colorful wool, I want to do and put some decorations on the inside walls and it would be easier for me to do it now that I can move and handle the walls as I like than when the walls will be attached together and limit my movements with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm going to head off to make those 6 pieces of walls and roof much stronger....When I said that for me was never "enough" that's what I meant.... : ) : )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll will post more as I go along with this project. If you have any questions don't be shy and just ask me and I will be happy to answer them.</div>

In more than a year that I've been working with it, I broke only one needle and not by needle felting but by dropping it on the floor and walking on it. Otherwise, I'm pretty good wit them! So, I decided to make a small handle for one of my star needles.<br />
