Love that stove and the curtain are so cute..😌
Thank You Judy! I bought that stove 16 years ago! It was one of the 1st items I purchased for this project! I'm glad you like the curtains too! Thank you for watching! 😊💖
Hi, I can't go to bed thinking I'm going to miss something, ha ha...!
LOLOLOLOL!!! Thank you Judy!! I am so glad you are enjoying my content!!! What a wonderful problem to have!!! Enjoy and there is plenty more ahead!!!
Details details details and imagination!!!! And don’t forget ingenuity!!! Every video gets better and better. Thank you for sharing with us and reminding us to play and use our imagination.
I'm So Glad you are enjoying This type of video! I felt like I was taking a chance doing this of video and I am So Excited that I gotten So Much positive feedback! There is plenty more to come!
Wow, you have been making doll house items since 10!! I wish I would have had this experience, when young
Yes Camille ! it actually got my Original (12th scale) Dollhouse at 10. But prior to that I was really into Barbie and making things for a cardboard dollhouse I made. So i have LOVED Miniatures Whole Life!LOLOLOLOL!!!
I love that you share your knowledge with us beginners. I have learnt so much from you.
The rooming dollhouse is filled to the brim with charm! I lovw this dollhouse!
It was so much fun to see your miniatures and how they all work in the space.
Your handmade cabinet is the perfect example of why you just go for it and make things. There are always mistakes but what matters most is having fun and being creative. The mistakes disappear.
YES EXACTLY!!! It took me years to understand that! "Perfect" is a enemy of Good!
That's why I'm so passionate about having Fun! Your creativity and imagination Blossoms when You "Play" and are not afraid to make mistakes!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 That's exactly right. I felt discouraged by my first "unsuccessful" miniatures but everyone needs to start somewhere and the point is to have fun.
The "steam" from the kettle is SO cute! as to the large food containers, it *is* a rooming house with a café. It seems reasonable that between boarders and café customers, they would need "restaurant-size" cans and jars. :) The kitchen looks great so far, and I look forward to seeing even more in place.
Yes, like lil Gretchen shops at Casco :)
THANK YOU! for pointing that out I thought of that after the video! Years ago when I made the "big jars I was just Glad to have ANY jars! I was not concerned about scale but yes Restaurant size CANS and JARS would be appropriate considering the Rooming House and the Cafe'. Thanks again!
Superb tips for arranging items/accessories. Big yes to using what you love even if it isn't "perfect", because it's " perfect" if it has special meaning to you!
Thank You! Absolutely!! As a child I felt like my hand made items were inferior to the mass produced things. Until i realized the More often I made things the better the results! Daddy would say "PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!" Even if you are Gifted You Have to PRACTICE! After Practicing and seeing my improvement l was proud of what I had made by hand! I had to Accept that "I am not a machine". So now I feel proud to display my "imperfect" hand made pieces along with the Mass produced pieces of My collections, because i know I have grown.
Your voice is so calming... love watching you arrange your minis...its the best part of miniaturing🥰
Thank you so much 🤗 That is such a kind compliment! I appreciate you for saying that! YES Arranging things is My FAVORITE PART!!! It truly is! I WISH could sit a PLAY ALL DAY, if My life would allow me! OH..... to be 10 years old again! For at least 1 day!! LOLOLOLOLOL! Thank you for watching!
I really like your style. The Rooming House Doll House reminds me of old houses I have been in. I use a wood cookstove now and can assure you that you can cook on all parts of the stove, and don't need to use an eye unless you take it out to set a pot down in the hole, like a bean pot, or a very primitive toaster for wonderful smoky toast. Love your skillet of cornbread!
Thank so much, I'm having So much Fun! Bringing to life my vision for this Dollhouse! My Dad told me those STOVES could heat the whole house! Smoky toast sounds Delicious!!!! Thank you for sharing!
I love all of your videos and you are such a sweet lady ! Keep up the good work ! 🤗👌😉👍💯😍❤️💐🌟
Thank you Dawn! I Will do my very Best!
They make big industrial size cans of peaches, probably peanut butter too. For a rooming house, why not? This is fun seeing the kitchen come together
Thank you Recovering Soul! I wasn't sure if they did Supersize items in the early 1900's. But you're i guess for restaurants and cafes they would! I'm having so much FUN! I've been waiting to do this a long time!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 ohhhh, yeah not sure about the 1900's if they had the big number 10 cans. Maybe for the military too, anyone needing things in bulk
@@recoveringsoul755 just googled it. Number 10 cans were invented in the 1890's, so they should have been available. :)
@@laurawiles410 very good to know!
Thank you so much! I usually check the history on things so i won't be far off with relevance but I was determined to use the BIG jars because they are special to my journey! Glad to know they actually did exist!
I hope you're proud of yourself...now I have put actual moonshine in a brown bottle with a cork on top sitting on 😂❤❤😂 my icebox!! And now you want me to stick cotton in my teapot too!! Lol
YES MARY YES!!!! Every kettle needs steam!!! When you see the steam on your teapot will be able to look and almost hear the sound of the whistle! LLOLOLOLOL!!!
Just love your videos. They are so informative but approachable and I have been doing some work I never thought I would try since I've discovered them.
Thank you Susan! I'm so GLAD TO HEAR THIS! I LIVE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN INSPIRED? THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE! ENJOY 💖😃☺️
Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.
I will and thank you for watching!
Gretchen I love the kitchen, it looks inviting and warm. Your videos make me believe that I can do this. Thank you so much.
You can do it! Just make sure You PLAY and HAVE FUN!
You create such an amazing world. Love all your details! You have quite a stockpile!
Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad you are enjoying this!
How nice!. I love the kitchen stove. Now it needs a refrigerator
Yes it does! That video is coming up!
I love your kitchen in the rooming house, Gretchen!! I particularly love the stove, as it reminds me of my Grandmother's old stove that she had in her house. I used to watch Grandmother clean that stove, and cook with it, and loved the warm and homely feeling it gave me. Your kitchen dresser, and hutch is wonderful! The things you made for the dolls' food are better than anything that I could make. Most of my dolls house food is bought from Michael's craft store. Maybe I will try making my dolls a miniature fruit pie, as they don't have one, yet! I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for sharing them!! ~Janet in Canada
Thank you, I'm glad You are enjoying my journey! Try using some polymer clay for your food. I am planning to do some dollhouse FOOD videos soon.
I love your stuff.believe me,what you call crude I think have so much character
Thank You for the compliment! I guess I call it crude because I made it so long ago with very minimal supplies.
Hellos, again, Miss Gretchen! I haven't been able to do too much due to my physical problems, but I am so glad to be catching up with my mini-enthusiasts such as yourself! I have missed watching your vids, and was glad to hear your voice again! Thank you for this video and your accessories are awesome! The kitchen is looking great. See you later, Doll-Mom!
HEY TinaNina!!!! SO GLAD TO SEE YOUR COMMENT! I'M GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK! I'VE BEEN HARD AND WORK TRYING TO GET THE DOLLHOUSE TOGETHER FOR CHRISTMAS SEASON! I'm glad you are catching up too! Take care of yourself our Health is Everything! I LOVE that you called Me "Doll Mom" 😍"! Thank You for being here, your presence is Priceless ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It looked SO much fun trying everything out before finding the perfect spots for them all. I can't wait for the time when I can do that too
YES Nessie I have to play around with everything to see how it works. Because sometimes, my theory in my imagination doesn't work when i actually set everything up. I always remind myself to remain flexible and open to change things or use it in another setting!
So wonderful! It’s always such a delight to see you create and make the house cone to life! Thank you, Kathleen
Glad you enjoy it!
Love this video
Thank you Camille!!!
I am really loving your videos. They are giving me so many ideas for my own miniature rooms. As far as the oversized food piece, just tell people your doll house people shop at Costco or Sam's Club lol.
Glad you like them! And I am so glad you are getting ideas for your projects, that's what makes this so much FUN! LOL! Yes I realized that at some point in early history, restaurants, hospitals, schools etc. would have had extra large food supplies. When i made it years ago "scale" wasn't even a thought!!LOLOL! That's why it means so much so me now.... Thank you for watching!
I love your attitude...nothing wasted! For sure on my transition from purchased to handmade there will be crudeness, but I will use them anyway! I am making some tables and other British tavern furniture, so I will need lots of things to go in the tavern, so I think I will get a good bit of practice!, so
THANKS Kim! For years all I had were Scraps, Remnants and what many called Trash. I'm so thankful that my EYES saw what was not obvious to everyone else!☺️ Practice is the KEY to Excellence! Because Even if You are GIFTED, 😀 YOU STILL HAVE TO PRACTICE!! 💖💖💖
Beautiful the room looks awesome, thank you for sharing 👍👏💖
Thank you! 🤗Chris and Thank you for watching!
Love your Chanel, I’ve recommended it to one of my miniature groups.
Thank You Kathy! That is very kind of You 😊💕 I'm So Glad you are enjoying THIS! Thank You for being here!
Love this. I'm loving this series!
Thank You I LOVE doing KITCHENS!!! There is always SO much to do and always something else to add!!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 yes. I also really love seeing you have so much fun :)
I just found your channel and it’s so delightful and charming. You are a very talented lady. Thank you for all the inspiration and useful tips. Your kitchen looks so realistic! Love the stove. 😍
Thank you so much! Welcome to Little Gretchen's Workshop! I'm so glad to know you are enjoying my channel! Thank you for watching!
I have ordered things twice because I forgot I had it. LOL I was lucky and got a plastic cupboard with five drawers at our church garage sale. Now to organize my things so will be able to easily check what I have.
YES YOU must do inventory periodically. Mark your boxes clearly and divide things by the ROOM,.so when you are stashing things at least you put it among things for that space. Also, keep a record of what you paid and where you got the items, it will come in handy if you ever INSURE your collection!
The kitchen is always my favorite. I’ve been dying to see this ❤️
It’s inspirational to see people play with their minis & arrange scenes when you’re still building a house and have a long way to go
YES KITCHENS are AWESOME, because there is SOOOO MUCH to DO! I'm So glad I took a chance and shared this! I was about to do it off camera and then decided to record my process. I am So glad you are enjoying this!
the kitchen is the cats pajamas!
so clever!
LOLOLLOLOL!!!! I LOVE THAT! THE CAT"S PAJAMAS!!!!That made My Day Thank you!!!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 you are so talented.
Have you seen the movie "the minaturist " ?
Aloways worth a visit to this site, lots of great ideas Thanks Alfred
Thank you Diane! Glad to have you here! Thank you for watching!
I just saw it' says "ALFRED" Thank You ALFRED!
Thank you for your time and effort😄😄😄.
I have things that I made as a kid too! It's funny the scale is off a lot too, but I can't let go either.
IKR! they are So precious to me! I had to find a place for them in this house because they didn't fit on any shelves in My ORIGINAL HOUSE. Thank you for Watching! It means more than you know!
I just came across your video and now become a new subscriber. I love the kitchen layout. I’m new to minis made a couple of them during the COVID shut down. And I now make alot of the minis myself. The only trouble I have is lighting the houses so for the meantime I’m using battery leds to light the rooms. I can’t wait to see your other videos! Have a bless day 🌻
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome to Little Gretchen's Workshop! I use Battery powered lights for ALL of my Dollhouses! This is a Wonderful World HAVE FUN, PLAY and CREATE!
Each video makes me more excited for my next step, I just started and get a little overwhelmed about what should be done but ya give me hope sooo thanks for the detailed information, bless you sis.
You can do it! To prevent yourself from getting overwhelmed, focus on ONE thing! Not the WHOLE Project! Pick ONE room, then ONE part of the Room. Work on that ONE part until you are satisfied, then move to another, part related to the 1st part, then you will see gradual progress and have TRUE satisfaction...
I did know Ann Arbor had miniature shows.
Yes it is a very Nice one!!!
Love you. Are you calling us viewer dolls? So sweet. Just started watching. How do I find the beginning.
HELLO There! YES I call my viewers and Subscribers, My DOLLS! As a Child My DOLLS Were Always Very Precious to me! Go to My playlist to 1st video! Thank you for watching!!!
Don't forget the oven, the dust pan, the butter, little hooks for pot holders or cups, salt and pepper shaker and a vase of flowers or plant
LOLOLOLOLOOLOLOL!!!!
Thank you! This was so much fun and inspiring. I'm still on the waiting list, right? This is such a cozy house and everything you've done looks so inviting. Do you need a nurse for the babies? ;)
You are so welcome! Yes you are still on the waiting list for occupancy! Yes they do have a nurse for the babies, but they may need another when i include to 2 new babies!
What brand of tacky/museum wax do you use? I’ve bought two kinds and find them to be kind of greasy and don’t hold well.
I am currently using TACKY WAX. I had another brand from years ago but the label is gone.
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 is that made by Bards? The stuff I have is so gooey! Lol! I have gotten vintage minis that still have the wax on them, and the wax has a totally different consistency.
@@salbo5248 I'm in earthquake country, and have something called Quake Hold, and also a jar of clear Museum Wax, it's like a gel it wouldn't work on a vertical surface, like tacking something to a wall, but works on flat surfaces. Holds a little tea set in the tray
