Dollhouse Pushchairs 1/12th scale

Hello my lovely mini friends…

Well first the good news, my doggy is much, much better thanks to all those well-wishers YAY! :)

Now for the pushchairs… I’m going to stop making this style soon (well it will move into my budget collection) the reason for this is as time goes on, you find better ways to do things, and improvements are born etc and also, I just get bored easily so I need a change.  These pushchairs are at an affordable price and available by emailing me or going to ebay (where I shall pop them up for sale tomorrow or maybe the next day lol). 

Another decision I have made is that I’m not going to take more than around four bespoke orders per year, this will leave me the freedom to create what is in my heart and thus lead to much better creations and also between you and me, I like to make new and different things rather than copy my own creations over and over, another reason why I’m putting this style of pushchair to bed lol.

I decided to make this batch of pushchairs in bright colours and I added a little hearts print just to be different.  They all have the usual features, shaped handle, shopping tray, moving wheels, full working harness and the hood can fold back too.  The pictures are below. 

The present project on the work table is a little Peter Rabbit buggy which I’m making a sun canopy for.  Once this project is complete I have a list of others to get started and one of them is a modern pushchair that I keep going to start but never get round to lol.  I found a few new materials that will work really well for what I want so I’m going to put them to good use.  I also have a twin tandem pushchair on the table, it’s got reclining seat backs and moving foot rests but it’s got a long way to go before it’ll be finished.  If only I could be cloned eh!

As always thank you for your lovely messages, you always make me smile.
Till next time, big mini hugs

A Suitcase and some Cribs


Hello my lovely mini friends…
It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to post and I blame this mainly on us actually having a summer lol.  Yes I’m guilty of having some fun time in the glorious weather, it may have been a bit rainy in-between but over all we’ve had some hot hot sun.  Also, we’ve a poorly doggie at the moment and so much of my time has been taken over caring for him, poor thing he’s happy and still all bright eyed but he’s got IBD that’s the equivalent to crohn’s in a human, so he’s been quite poorly. 

Anyhooo, I’ve managed a couple of mini makes, I finally finished my first opening suitcase, I decided I’d make lots of changes to the next one I make, including adding wheels and a fold away handle but for now this one will become part of my personal dolls house collection as it’s not quite good enough to sell.

I also made a couple of little cribs with an antique styling to them, a little different than my normal mini makes but they were very quick and easy to make.  I’ll be placing one up for sale here and the other will go up for sale in my Etsy shop.

I’m in the process of making pushchairs but with everything that I have on right now I have no idea how long it will take me to finish them. 

Hopefully things will get back to normal in the next couple of months and I’ll be back to making my minis full time again.
Big mini hugs

Shabby Chic


Hello my lovely mini friends…
Well we've reached 200 so I’ll be drawing the winner of my giveaway this weekend and I’ll let you know the winner on Monday, so still a little time to enter if you haven’t already :)

Aside from working on dolls, prams and my caravan I've been doing a little shabby chic project, everything is up for sale on my shop page and if you need to know how much postage is to your country or the cost of combined postage just message me Enquiries@teenytinythings.co.uk

I can never decide on colours and whenever I paint something for myself it’s almost guaranteed that I repaint it several times so when making the shabby chic furniture below I decided to just take three of everything and paint them all different colours to see which one I might choose when I do up my shabby house (yes another project in the making lol).

Everything is displayed in the same room corner which has a wooden floor, wood panelling and yellow wallpaper with pink roses on it.  I made several room corners which all fit next to each other or stack and I decorated each one differently. 

Well here are the pictures… 

The room corner...


The full rooms...



The dressers...




The chairs...




The tables...



The accessories...











Well see you all on Monday - when I give you the winner of the TTT draw.

This is my latest pram created to order, based on another pram made some time back.  As always it has lots of details including moving wheels, a fully padded and lined inner, shaped handle, shopping tray, moving hood, removable apron, matching bag and contrasting bedding.

I am taking orders for April atm so get in touch if you would like something creating in miniature.
