Advent Dollhouse Day 7

Today on the seventh, Viola the hamster plays in a flurry of paper snowflakes. This box was one of the first ideas I had for the Advent House, based on one of my favourite childhood books, Jolly's Christmas, about some toys creating their own snow for Christmas, from snow cookies to paper snow!

Advent Dollhouse Day 6

Today, Archie the Parrot withstands the chill of the winter weather as he delivers letters to Santa. The mountain backdrop came from a ski ad, and the sign post makes a nice 3D touch. Archie's mailbag was made from felt.

For the fifth, Harley the Bunny hangs a wreath on his front door. To make more depth in the background images, I've extended the wallpaper to cover the insides of the doors.

On the fourth, Vanilla the Piglet decks the halls and hangs some mistletoe for a festive touch! The ladder was my own creation, made from coffee stirrers.

Advent Dollhouse Day 3

Today, Twyla the Panda writes a little wish list for Santa. Just a few things she is hoping for, nothing much!

Advent Dollhouse Day 2

Today, Venus the Cat hurries to wrap gifts in time, getting into a tangle...more tomorrow!

Advent Dollhouse Day 1

Happy first of advent, and start of the Christmas season! 

On the first day of the season, Topaz the Turtle skates on an icy lake in the middle of a wintery wood. The backdrop is cut from magazine pages, the trees from crafting paper and the snow toy stuffing. More doors to be opened tomorrow!
