Little houses

[nid_dabeille]

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.)






Edible houses:

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

Your nieces are certainly talented ladies. So this love for dollhouses and miniatures must lie in the family. :D

I was glad to read that a very good time was had by all.

I would have never though of making one for the birds. Too cute!

Have a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year.

These are all so cute! The cardboard house totally looks like a project I would have done when I was a little girl. :) And the food houses look yummy! :)

Looks like so much fun!

This is so adorable! And I love the edible house for the birds; I just might have to nick that idea from you. :)

Love the idea of using magazine cutouts, and a birdhouse that's not for birds to live in but to eat is genius. Your nieces are cute too.

How great of you to provide such entertainment! I'd want to visit you all the time!

And cute nieces, they have the most beautiful hair.

That cardboard box house is made of awesome! I love miniatures made from found items around the home. (My current room box was made out of painted cereal boxes.) The idea of using cutouts from catalogues to furnish it is brilliant. Good job!

Lovely pics of lovely folk! The houses are adorable, and very creative, and so, obviously, are your nieces! Clearly they take after their aunt. Thanks for sharing. A very merry Christmas and wonderful New Year to you and yours!

The cardboard box house is great!
When I saw the first picture, I thought it was a book shelf... but it could be.
Very Cool!

Aww... that's so cool! And a dollhouse with Bond in it inside a doll house :D We used to do cardboard box houses at a time for our my little ponies to live in... :P

What a great idea, a log cabin :D
