It's been a little while since I made any Sugarville houses. I think making 60+ for Silver Bella '07 burned me out a bit.
As a doorprize for Artistic Affaire Printemps, I donated a Sugarville house. Colleen won and asked for it to be personalized with her son, daughter-in-law, and new baby. When I found this little buggy, I knew it would look sweet with a little Mama and little Papa. I like how it looks like Papa is playing with the baby.
I decided to try a new way of making a lawn for the houses. It was a bit tricky and messy...and I'm not sure if I'll repeat it for future properties. But I must admit I like how it looks in the photos.
This next house is a gift for Kristen Robinson. She made me something so wonderful (I'll show you this week!) and this is in exchange. Actually, she offered to make this very special thing for me and the only way I could accept is if she allowed me to make something for her.
I love so much this little family of three. I hope it reminds Kristen of her own little family.
This last gift is for Kim Caldwell for inviting me to teach at her event. I was so impressed with Kim's sweet family and the love that's evident in her home and I wanted to create a piece that celebrated her family.
p.s. I've been meaning to tell you that the rug in my living room is, believe it or not, from the Mary Kate and Ashley line at Target. Find it here.

Your sugar houses are beautiful and luminous.
You're so brave to confess the Mary Kate and Ashley Owen rug! *clapping* I love your sweet houses--true confections!

Hi! I just stumbled across your blog-- your Sugarville houses are so cute! Just adorable.
They are stunning!
I love your houses! They just bring such a grin to my face. So funny that you mention the rug. When I saw it on your blog a few days ago I though that you had taken some sort of flat bamboo floor covering and painted the polka dots on it. I immediately started planning on copying the idea!
Your decor inspires me so much! I love quirky decor and just love the way white looks with bright colors like red and green.
Great work!

amazing; and seemingly dipped in sugar!
That is so adorable. By the way I have ants and they are not the crafty ants you featured on your blog. They are annoying and pushy. They could certainly take a few pointers from your guests that politely cleaned up the glitter & confetti!
those little itty-bitty people are the cutest thing ever!...and i have admired that rug...thanks for sharing! xo
Those are so cute, and I can't believe that is a Mary Kate and Ashley rug!
What wonderful creations = all so sweet

Love the house you made for Kristen. The little boy reminds me of my Noodlebug.

Just yummy.
I love them!
Thanks for the post
Where on earth did you get such cute families? They are perfectly perfect.
Oh, and those Olsen twins! Some of their stuff is too cute for words, even for grown ladies like us. I found a swimsuit coverup a few years ago at Target in the teen section... but I love it. So cute!
I scrolled SO FAST so I wouldn't see the surprise! So excited. . .
Hugs, Kim
Ooohhh...these houses are so sweet!
Can you please tell me where you get all the gorgeous figurines for your houses?
love everything you do! I'm curious about the cute little people too! Love the couple swinging the little boy!! Must find!
