Sisters' Tale

Hi all,

this entry on the Dream House is actually taken off my blog which i posted last year. I actually named the characters in this entry after my sisters and me, illustrating some of the things we would have loved to do in the real life.

Enjoy!

:::My Dream House:::

In my dream house, I would be hanging out with my family or close friends, doing what I like to do...

**The Attic**

Ling Bunny is in the attic, her working area. She has just made a new pink dress and is holding it up for you to see. Her working area holds the brain of her creations, and is a place she spends long periods of time in, coming up with pretty stuff. Her dream is to own a label making pretty clothes for plus-sized girls, she wants them to be able to wear pretty stuff that they used to only be able to envy their slimmer counterparts wear, which will make them feel like princesses too.

Ling Bunny's little working table. The pink cover covers her sewing machine which has been a gift to her from her aunt. It is ancient but has made many pretty clothes from her aunt's generation to the present.

Sometimes she likes to sit in the corner and do some sewing. Cross-stitch is an art her mother has taught her from young, to cultivate patience. She also likes to make little keepsakes for her friends here. The heart-shaped cushion is something she has made herself.

This is her fashion dressing room area. All the dresses and clothes on display are her own creations.

An overview of Ling Bunny in the attic.

**The Kitchen**

Feng Kitty enjoys cooking. She enjoys experimenting with recipes and cooking for her loved ones. The kitchen is her haven, a simmering brew of good food cooking and warm pastries and cakes baking. It is the nicest-smelling room in the whole house.

She is making chicken and vegetable stew for lunch-- a new recipe she is trying out. Look at her concentrated gaze on the recipe on the wall! She does not want her stew to go wrong=). At the same time, the chocolate muffins she has been baking for teatime are ready, and she is removing them from the oven. ooh.. hot!!

Feng Kitty's little haven... she always keep it neat so that it is easy for her to find the utensils and ingredients.

This island, an extra cooking area, has been set up by Ling Bunny for her. This is because the house will have gatherings and parties at times and the stove may not be enough to cook for all the people, and Feng Kitty enjoys letting her guests taste her home-made cooking. On normal days, she can invite her friends over to cook and experiment with her.

A close-up of the bread Feng bakes for breakfast everyday... doesn't it smell warm and fresh?

A breakfast tray containing all the essentials for breakfast: bread bin, coffee pot, a thermos flask, jars of jam, mugs and eating utensils.

The table spread with breakfast: A fruit juice blender, glasses, a pot of homemade strawberry jam, crispy toasted bread and an omelette!

Feng Kitty prefers to grow her own food, vegetables that is. So there is a glasshouse set aside in the house for her to grow her own garden. (Actually the reason why i use a glasshouse concept is also because I don't have the Sylvanian Garden set.)

The vegetable patch.. fresh lettuce, pumpkins, carrots and corn! Makes for a delicious salad too!

The strawberry plants and spice garden...

**The Bedroom & Relax corner**

In Sylvania, hard work should always be accompanied with good rest, so alot of emphasis is placed on rest and relaxation as well=)

Ling Bunny's bedroom. The bedside table holds a jug and bowl for washing-up purposes. The room is simply furnished.

A Relax corner is attached to the bedroom overseeing the countryside. Ying Cat likes to sit in the rocking chair with the heart-shaped cushion (also made by Ling Bunny) and read fashion magazines while looking out of the window at the wonderful view of the countryside. A small coffee-table stands at her side, holding a mug of freshly-brewed coffee and little biscuits and chocolates made by Feng Kitty.

A close-up of the sideboard... the coffee equipment stands on it. Quality coffee beans are used in the house so the coffee made is always very fragrant. the sideboard also holds precious crystal glasses on display but are not very visible here.

**The Study Area**

Ling Bunny is still schooling.. at the Sylvania School of Art and Fashion. She takes her studies very seriously. The quaint little oak desk has been made by her daddy for her.
