"My-easy-to-make-style", part 1: white and black. Łatwe-do-zrobienia, cz.1: białe i czarne.

First of all I have to say lately I have some problems with commenting on some of your blogs. Probably it is because my laptop got broken again, I managed to repair it but since then on some of my favourite blogs, even when I am logged in, I cannot comment at all or I can do this only as anonymous.:( Please don't think I forgot about you! I hope I will be able to solve this problem soon.

Last November I first wrote about "my-easy-to-make-style" of garden furniture. Back then my tables were the same heigh as my stools, which wasn't making me happy. Lately I found a solution on this problem and I can construct still-3-legs-tables perfect for 1:12 scale. Finally also now I can make not only stools but chairs too!





I found these pretty jewelry parts not so long ago but I still work with the squared ones too.:)




Hope you will like them as I will post some more very soon!:)

Przede wszystkim muszę się wytłumaczyć z braku komentowania niektórych Waszych blogów. Niestety ostatnio znów padł mi laptop i choć tym razem udało mi się go naprawić bez serwisu, to niestety konsekwencją tego jest to, że nie mogę na niektórych blogach w ogóle komentować lub komentarze moje są...anonimowe. Proszę w żadnym razie nie myslcie, że o Was zapomniałam!
W poscie z Listopada 2011 pisałam o moich własnoręcznych mebelkach ogrodowych. Wtedy stoły i taborety były tej samej wysokosci. Ostatnio udało mi się wymyslić jak zrobić stoły tak, żeby pasowały do skali 1:12! Wpadłam też na pomysł jak łatwo połączyć różne metalowe półfabrykaty, żeby otrzymać krzesło z oparciem. Jak widać wypróbowuję różne ich kształty.:) I mam nadzieję, że się Wam spodobają.:)

Your garden furniture is fantastic.
Another original way of using jewelry findings.
Hope your problems get solved soon. I too, sometimes have trouble in commenting, especially when I use the translator.

Ilona said...

Hi Ewa! I love the white ánd the black (garden)furniture, great jewelry finds!!
At the moment I have not much blogproblems: new followers without a blog is not unusual for me:( I don't like it, because I can not find their blogs!!
Have a great weekend, Ilona

Maria Ireland said...

Your garden furniture are beautiful. It is always such a pleasure to visit your blog. So many fantastic ideas.
Hugs Maria

Ewa, the red background on your blog sometimes take a while to load so for Ascension, she can only read white words on white background for a while. Refreshing the site should work . There have been times when I have to come back when my wireless was slow.

You must be so irritated that the laptop is spoilt again! I can totally picture you ..heh heh :).

Your chair and table are very convincing as wrought iron garden furniture especially after they are painted white. I have one that is green (when you visit you can see :) )

Mary said...

Very pretty, I have some findings like those. I hope you don't mind if I try to copy. Could you tell me what kind of glue you use, I always have trouble gluing findings together.

BiWuBär said...

This is very clever... you've done a great job with this jewelry pieces. Sorry to hear about your laptop and blogger problems - I'm thankful I can read and comment at your blog without any problems!

Greetings
Birgit

Christel said...

Dear Ewa, I love these tiny tables, and chairs! They look wonderful. I am thinking my blog is one you might be having problems with, I had a couple of comments about people not being able to post because my profile needed updating...I did that, but am not sure it helped. I hope so, I love having you stop in, and leave comments. Again, wonderful work my best to you always, Christel

carmen said...

muy ingenioso, buenos trabajos!

Kaya said...

Nie napisałaś z czego są zrobione nogi krzeseł i stolików. Czy są z drutu czy też z czegoś innego? Podoba mi się biały komplet.

The Old Maid said...

Ilona, I know what you mean! I don't like it either. I alwys want to follow blogs of them too and usually I can do that within a couple of weeks or even months!
Thank you so much! Happy you like them!
Hugs

The Old Maid said...

Thank you very much for your kind words Maria!!
Happy you like them!
Hugs

The Old Maid said...

Can't wait to see it dear Sans!:D Hope one day it will be possible.:)
I wonder if you like the other colour of my easy-to-make pieces I will post soon.;D

I think Ascension must have seen my post while I was making some changes in it after publishing it. Probably that was it.:)Hope so.

The Old Maid said...

Thank you Mary. You are welcome to use my idea for your own miniatures.:)
Lately I was using Hi Tack all purpose glue plus a special 2 component glue for metal parts. Really I was just mixing these two to glue findings together.:)
Hope this helps!

The Old Maid said...

Luckily for me I can read and comment your blog too, dear Brigit!!!:D
Happy you like them!!
Hugs and kisses

The Old Maid said...

Dear Christel, hope it helps because I love commenting your beautiful dolls! I am also trying to solve this problem over here so hope it WILL help us to stay in touch.:)
Thank you sooo much!!
Hugs

The Old Maid said...

Gracias Carmen!!
Happy you like it!

The Old Maid said...

Kaya nogi to rurki do naszyjników, niestety nigdy nie są równe więc trzeba pokombinować z ich rozstawianiem, żeby nogi były równe.:)
Drutu jeszcze nie opanowałam, ale wszystko przede mną.:)
Dzięki! Cieszę się, że biały komplet się podoba.:D

Daydreamer said...

Hi Ewa! Your jewelry pieces furniture are Beautiful! Don't you love it when you find that new piece you have been looking for? Now your tables are better than ever! I can't wait to see more! :):)

The Old Maid said...

I do, I do, Betsy!!!Happy you like these!:D

Kaya said...

Ewa, te rurki to świetny pomysł. Myślałam, że to wygięty drut. Brawo za projekt.

Unknown said...

Cudne te mebelki^__^
Nie przejmuj się nie komentowaniem, ja to nawet ostatnio nie mam sił postów pisać haha Pozdrawiam:)

17-17 said...

Śliczne mebelki, podobają mi się zwłaszcza białe. Wiesz, jak zobaczyłam je na miniaturce pomyślałam, że są zrobione na szydełku :) wyglądają tak lekko, jak koronkowe.

The Old Maid said...

Dzięki Kaya! Baw się dobrze.;D

The Old Maid said...

Dzięki Efa! W Twoim stanie to się wcale a wcale nie dziwię.;D

The Old Maid said...

Ooooo Magdo!! To mogłoby być coś!!! Nie mogę się doczekać!
Dzięki i uściski!

Very pretty chairs! Sometimes there is trouble leaving comments if you check the box that says "Stay logged in" when you log in to Google. If you un-check this box, the trouble may go away. Good luck--I love hearing from you! :-) Jennifer

The Old Maid said...

Thank you, Jenn! Happy you like them!
