Slow progress in the workshop

Part of the alcove is almost done now :

The workshop

Back to my house !
And before having completed the two previous rooms, I began to organize the largest room of Lilla Hyttnäs : the workshop. This room is located to the right of the hallway.
And because it is a huge room, I decided to create several spaces. So I made a kind of platform and an alcove in front of the fireplace.
Here are the very first steps of the workshop :

But not mine, this time.
I have almost stolen the painting from my dear Catherine but I must say I was not so happy with the frame she made so ... I redone it :

and after :

God save the Queen !

Probably the queen of our gardens : her majesty the rose dressed with so many colors !

Glorious peonies !

Yesterday I was lucky enough to take part of one Pascale Garnier's workshop.
Pascale showed us how to make peonies. She brought lots of different colors for petals and I choose some pale pink one.
And here is the result :

We had a lovely time sharing our pleasure and I met 3 adorable ladies.
Thank you Pascale !

My own private Adirondack

A tribute to the Hamptons ...
As for me, those comfortable armchairs symbolized the east cost of the United States.
(A place "To die, to sleep— To sleep—perchance to dream".)

 I am not sure I would like them in 1:1 scale, but I thought it would be quiet a good challenge to make them in miniature ;-)

chi va piano, va sano e va lontano ...

A very small little thing for beginning the fresh new year :

See you soon my very dear friends and thank you so much for your kind supports.
