Little houses

My dollhouse-loving nieces have been visiting, and we've been making wonderful little houses.  One was a house made from a cardboard box and pictures cut out of catalogs, and the others were edible log cabins made of pretzels in the style of gingerbread houses - one for humans (with Nutella and candy and dried fruit), and one for birds to eat (with peanut butter, nuts, dried fruit, and berries.)

  


Cardboard house:



Natalie is very creative and a natural born miniaturist.


And of course they wanted the dollhouse to have a tiny dollhouse in it.  (And that's James Bond greeting us at the door.)

This is me with Amelia, covered in peanut butter and chocolate.

They certainly are, and it certainly does! In fact, I'll post a picture of my mom playing with her childhood dollhouse soon. My sisters and I grew up playing with it, and now these nieces have it, and I have my own house and roomboxes. We all love tiny things. :D

And yes, we've been having a marvelous time! Busy busy busy, but a lot of fun. We already celebrated Christmas last night, in fact, with the whole huge family. I'm kind of looking forward to Christmas day itself, when I'll be able to do nothing at all (or maybe clean up my messy house and wash dishes and things.)

I hope you will have a lovely Christmas Day, on which you will also have time to relax.

Btw, Amelie resembles you a lot. :D
