I'm going to try and work on it whilst I am ill because it looks pretty bare at the moment! I would like to put up some cheerful wallpaper, possibly a felt carpet and a pretty little pair of curtains over a (fake) window :)
The great thing about this shelf is that my reading light is just above it so the lighting for the pictures is perfect! However you can see the screws and the bracket thing that hold the shelves up which is annoying.
This is my latest purchase, a JP Squirrel baby! Have you ever seen something more cute?! I've also ordered a Grey Cat baby and a Cottontail Rabbit baby, but those are from Japan so they will take a few weeks to come through.
And here's one of my favourite Sylvanian Families, George Golightly (JP Silk Cat baby). Just adorable:D He even has a matching teddy bear!
I'll post again when it's finished:)
I am a bit concerned about the dust though, the JP figures have really fine plush which makes cleaning them a nightmare.
For those who are awaiting Chapter 4 of the Winter Story: I've written it, but I'm waiting until I feel well enough to get out of bed before I can take the photos :)
Hi!
ReplyDeleteAbout cleaning your Sylvanians, I haven't tried many 'treatments', but I usually use an old, dry toothbrush. (But don't brush too hard, otherwise the fur will come off.) Works for me!

P.S. - I also must thank you. I used to think that the Moss reindeer were rather ugly, but you have completely changed my mind and made me see them in a new light! I am now desperately searching the internet to find a good price. (It's too bad that I live overseas...) :)
DeleteAww I love the Moss Reindeer - they just have a charm that really grows on you! Thanks for the tip - I'll try it out:) Lily xx
DeleteHi Lily i'm sorry to hear that you aren't very well :( I really hope you feel better soon!! What a great idea with the shelf I will look forward to seeing what it looks like once you've finished, the new babies are very very cute I have the Squirrel too. I know what you mean about the cleaning, I have found that the cats and also the golden labradors can get very dusty, love from Mia xx
ReplyDeleteThank you!:) I'm beginning to feel a bit better, so regular updates coming soon ;) Yes, they do get so dusty! Lily xx
DeleteOh Lily, I am so sad to hear you are unwell, I wish you the speediest recovery possible. c: I love those pictures of George and Squirrel, they are just too cute! I also like George's little teddy counterpart. I am also eagerly awaiting the next chapter of your story- I am not usually all that interested in Sylvanian stories, but I really enjoy and admire yours works, as they are always written so beautifully and creatively, and your Sylvanians in the photographs are always posed so perfectly. ♥
ReplyDeleteYours,
