things are moving into no.1 Paper Villas my little alternate home (and holiday project)..... still a few things to come, like a painting for that left hand wall..... the knitted rug is a darker purple than appears here. The furniture is all vintage dolls house pieces I have bought. The curtains are made using my own little harlequin design printed on to fabric.
upstairs, a simple bedroom - I am keeping this unpainted and quiet to contrast with the richness of downstairs... I am working many tiny stitches into the little eiderdown quilt....
I am already thinking about other rooms, in other little houses, some time.....
And here is a sneak peek - the cover of my newest book - it will be out on September 1st - neighbourhood
Yes is it was going to be novembermoon - but then a series of new paintings and sketches 'happened' in recent weeks and this is the result.....The paintings are of imagined, dream-like, twilight-lit places.....
I am very happy with this one. I'll share some more pages as we get nearer to launch!
Hope you are having a good August - now we are already over halfway.... thanks always for your comments.

Oh how i love this paper villa! a lot.... it seems i'm always to late for the zines.... But i'm checking out for the book.
Sweet greetz to you.
So beautiful! I particularly like the bedroom, I wish it was mine :)
there is something about doll houses that i have always loved. while growing up in england, i would always make a purpose of walking to my friend lisa's house just to play with hers for hours. it was an old victorian doll house that had a door on the front that opened. what a delightful one you have created cathy and the furniture is beautiful. enjoy the process. maybe one of your little people can reside there?
So loving the house! The cover of your book is lovely.
such an exciting project :-)
you always exceed yourself!
