A new update from the dollhouse by ARNE & CARLOS

[@BeautifulOaks]

I like the idea of hanging the framed cross stitch in the dollhouse. If I ever have a dollhouse or doll space, I will incorporate the framed cross stitches of Christmas candles and wreath into it that my aunt made me decades ago. Thanks for sharing. P. S. Having some childish qualities is good because it’s being true to yourself, a way to destress and it’s a way to enjoy your creativity and the beauty you bring to this world.

[@nicolanewington1798]

Lovely cross stitching. It was nice to hear more of you, Arne, today. When Carlos is there, he usually does most of the talking! I think you're both great.

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Arne love ❤️ your dollhouse videos. The joy of creating a Hygge beautiful dollhouse. I love all Tiny miniatures. Here are some great ideas I put into my dollhouse. A tiny glass cookie 🍪 jar & made chocolate chip cookies with filo clay along side a glass of milk 🥛. I made quilted bed coverings with pillows & knitted blankets. Lace curtains. Crocheted round rugs. Take a picture of your lake far away & frame it for a great view. Love ❤️ all the creativity. Enjoy the journey of adding little treasures & finds every day. I have a quilt shop. A dollhouse with an Artist loft. An antique shop. I'm starting a new Victorian dollhouse but each room is a different craft room. My dream house.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful dollhouse Arne. I loved the kitchen table and Magnus's new sweater. I hope Magnus has friends come visit his special home soon. The embroidery looks so nice in the kitchen and Beauty and the Beast is such good inspiration. Thank you to you and Carlos for your blog and youtube videos.

[@thecatmont]

You aren't childish, you are adorable and youthful and simply wonderful to watch, hi to Carlos when he gets home.

[@nupsiwulst9946]

After each and every video on the dollhouse I find myself looking at furniture in a different way, like in „could I build a dollhouse with this?“ So, maybe maybe at some point I will have a Arne-inspired dollhouse myself. Thank you so much! Every house should have a dollhouse! 😊

[@paulaestcourt9184]

I call it Aida as well, like the Italian opera by Verdi. The doll house is so beautiful, I love anything miniature. The cross stitch miniatures are adorable. Thank you for the tip about the gingham. Can’t wait to see the next doll house video.

[@susannawarner6817]

Great to see cross stitch in your doll house. Great podcast.

[@ulmerigel]

Love the dollhouse, and your English is great, Arne! This and all your & Carlos' videos are so inspiring!

[@dawndeville3113]

I love all the work that you gentlemen do. The dollhouse & all it's tiny treasures are so lovely! Arne, you are NOT childish!!!! I believe we all have a bit of our childhood left in us. ❤❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yes, and we should all cherish it!

[@sarbearcrafty]

Arne, I love that you let your inner kid shine! Your doll house is lovely. I say the same thing "I'm childish" but I also add "I don't care" ;)

[@velmad3091]

Love the embroidery and the frames have so beautiful color.

[@pamelaharris4016]

Thank you for the doll house update. Your doll house brings out the child in me. I have an old fruit crate I use for storage...it will now become a one room Christmas house for my nisse.

[@patriciaway3738]

If only more of us kept in touch with our inner child. Keep it up Arne! The dollhouse is fabulous!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Patricia Way Thank you for the comment!

[@claudiastevens9628]

The pictures are a final touch to a darling kitchen. Arne your videos are so helpful and inspiring.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Claudia

[@londonmist001]

Absolutely delightful. Thank you.

[@jeanjohnson7221]

Very nice indeed. What a fun project.

[@wendyhollow1458]

It looks terrific! Ian ran little lights so Amy could play in the Winter dullness. That was quite a lot of work but it did look gorgeous at night. It glowed. Maybe Carlos could be the electrician?.. hugs WAH.

[@sheryltisdale]

What a nice job you have done on the doll house! Looks like a lot of fun!

[@christinelinn9250]

Good evening Arne, you have made a fantastic job of your dolls house. Its nice to see your inner child and how creative you are. It's been a joy to watch from scratch your small house developed. You did a great job on your own tonight Carlos would have been proud of you. Thank you for another enjoyable evening see you next week take care love and best wishes xxx

[@hildevanhoogten4040]

I just love it. And childish? Whatever... Always keep the child in you, the more human you will be. That's my motto. I wish more men would be like you. Looking forward to your next tutorial. The dollhouse is just wonderfull, I wish I was so skilfull as you. Fantastic!

[@patrick7mary]

Wow, beautiful Arne! The table you bought in Venice with the gorgeous detail on top so beautiful, your and Carlos have done a beautiful job on this dollhouse... I love how you take your time filling the space, we all just live miniature everything! You did a fantastic job Arne! Have you and Carlos seen any “Begin Japanology?” Well they had one episode on miniatures, I will send you the link. Sending ❤️ to you and Carlos!!! Thank you for sharing! 🌷💚🌷 Mary ^ - ^

[@JacqsieRae]

What a wonderful dollhouse! You guys are very talented! The hand stitched pictures are perfect in there!

[@felicadawn62]

I used to make ornaments of counted cross stitch almost 35 years ago. Those moments got me through some hard times sitting with my husband going through cancer treatment. I loved it. I do little now, but I do still have some of the material and hoops. (I paint and knit more these days.) Those designs are quite lovely, though, Arne!

[@pegpage8618]

Great job, Arne. The dollhouse is lovely. Tusen takk.

[@allthebest744]

Arne, I love your dollhouse. You have done an amazing job painting it; I really like the dark colors. You are so creative and take such pride in your work. I like that you keep your inner child alive; we should all do that. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creation.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@floralfoote]

Looks fabulous

[@patriciahoffmann2678]

Hi Arne - I used to work in a needlework shop, and we would use a thin piece of quilt batting between the cardboard carton piece and the stitched Aida piece, which hides the little holes in the Aida fabric and gives the picture a nice finish.

[@trishylala]

Arne u are the best! I Always get happy to see your videos

[@terriluff]

Arne you are adorable!! The ending is so cute 😊

[@sewgatormomm]

This dollhouse is a work of art. Have you ever seen Tasha Tudor’s dollhouses? There are books about them. You are ‘young at heart’, not childish!

[@ARNECARLOS]

sewgatormomm Yes, we have a few of her books. Her doll houses were beautiful.

[@kimbaxley7595]

I love dollhouses! I have atleast 5 of them maybe more. LOL! I have lost count.

[@helennorbury9765]

Thank you for sharing your dolls/mouse house with us. There’s nothing wrong with loving this house it’s wonderful xxx

[@nancyvogt1216]

Arne, love your shirt. I have the same fabric but have not yet decided what to do with it. I’m getting inspired. Thanks.

[@antoinettemccollum729]

Awww I just love the Doll House ! It looks so warm and inviting, I can see Magnus and his friends having a wonderful time there. You are such a creative soul Arne....just love you !

[@18daisydoll65]

Just reading some of the lovely comments, one mentioned books about Tudor dolls' houses and it made me have an idea for future videos.... "Inspirational Books and Magazines". I'm passionate about books and I'm sure I'm not alone in this🙋🏼

[@18daisydoll65]

Thank you Arne🍪☕️..... suggestion..... you could embroider a landscape scene for your dolls' house to look like a window view over your lake 🏞

[@hibird357]

18Daisy Doll that is a wonderful idea. I hope they take the suggestion.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thanks. Good idea 💡!

[@patrick7mary]

Yes, fantastic suggestion, Arne, maybe a landscape for each season, as we love love ❤️ the beautiful summer flowers around the lake and green trees JUST AS much as the beautiful fresh fallen snow and ice on the lake, maybe Mangus seeing his friends ice skating on the lake too ^ - ^

[@punkbunnymama]

What a brilliant idea!!

[@amcclellan509]

Such a dream dollhouse! You can certainly see that you have put much love and care I got creating it.

[@velmad3091]

Hope to see the beautiful dollhouse soon❤️❤️

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yes, we are planning an update on that soon!

[@donnaseguin391]

So cool Arne I never thought about making pictures for a doll house what a good idea I’m going to make some for my granddaughter Barbie house and thank you also for the downloads as well please make more for each room for me thank you so much all the best Donna from Canada

[@kathygoodman6159]

Arne, you have so many talents! I love how you made this dollhouse. It looks fantastic with the paint and the framing. I love the new furniture, especially that dining table. The cross-stitched pictures really made a beautiful addition to the kitchen wall. You did such a good job on the video without Carlos. Your English is so much better than you think it is. I've tried to learn a foreign language, but I find it so difficult. We mostly just learned vocabulary but not how to actually speak the language. I'm always so impressed by people who can speak more than just their native language since I was a failure at it. I'm so glad that you were secure enough to do this video alone. It was really lovely. Missed you Carlos, but aren't you proud of Arne? I look forward to seeing you again.

[@TheMellis01]

Thank you so much Arne, I love your videos, you and Carlos have wonderful videos that are full of great content and are a pleasure to watch. ❤️

[@dorothygriffiths6626]

Hi Arne what a lovely vlog, thank you. I love your doll’s house, I have a little one made out of shelves and I am trying to collect little pieces of furniture to go in it. The pictures make such a difference it is starting to look like a home now. As always you are really interesting and inspiring Arne. I love your shirt, you look very handsome. Say hello to Carlos. Sending you both warmest hugs and loves xxxxxx 🙋🏻😘❤️ Dorothy

Hello Arne. Loved your doll house and admire your passion for it. I admit re your intricate embroidery and love for small cute things. Cheers!

[@ReltubTheWiz]

I love the Bergen ad! I've only ever learnt about in Geography, fishing port, geological features, Fjords, very deep, I didn't realise it was so stunnigly beautiful!

[@saramng]

The truth is that at first I was not so enthusiastic about talking about a doll house until the moment when you opened the doors of the dolls' house - so I understood that there is a fantasy here and a dream come true to a dreamy naive world And I loved it from the bottom of my heart

[@ARNECARLOS]

How cute! And I love that a lot of the inspiration came from Beauty and the Beast! I love the doll house! Great work Arne is such a perfectionist! 😊 And it’s not childish at all if it makes you happy!!!

Hello Arne! I love your beautiful dollhouse and the kitchen embroidery very much. I want to stitch these and will use them as refrigerator magnets until i can get a dollhouse someday. Now I think your kitchen needs a round crochet rug? Love from Shari in Kentucky.

Greetings from America Arne, your tiny house has morphed into a lovely treasure to be enjoyed by guests and of course yourselves. Magnus looks handsome in his new sweater. Carlos we miss you. May I suggest some form of lighting inside the dollhouse it’s difficult to see all the furnishings even if it’s just a temporary light source. Love y’all and look forward to every visit. 😊🌸💞

[@ARNECARLOS]

betty r I think I want to keep this doll house with candlelight only, it’s more beautiful like that.

[@wendymooers7221]

I love the doll houses

[@magi7977]

Very nice ! Thanks Arne

[@nancynickerson4341]

It’s Sunday afternoon here in Nova Scotia on Canada’s east coast. I was sitting in my new chair (made by IMG, a Norwegian company), looking forward to watching the latest video from two of my favorite designers. The chair was so comfortable that I soon fell asleep and missed most of the video. It would appear that one Norwegian business is trying to undermine another, and it’s all happening more than 3000 miles from Norway. What’s the matter, can’t you people get along? I’m just kidding of course. Now I must go and find a chair that isn’t quite so cozy, so I can watch the rest of the video!

[@marychristoforo2256]

Great video, Arne. I think the doll house is gorgeous - the colors are fabulous, and the details inside are perfect! I also enjoyed watching you finish the embroidery and frame the results! Adding the black border and using white thread on the white canvas does make the picture pop. I was wondering if you ever put any kind of lighting inside your doll houses?

[@ARNECARLOS]

Mary Christoforo lighting is important but I think this one will be more beautiful with only candles.

[@maylien]

You are coming right along ! But you need some lighting in your doll house. Have you considered adapting some of those little battery operated tealights? They are about 2 cm across and have a tiny flame shaped bulb.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Looking good, fellas! But I think the kitchen needs a round or oval braided rug. The animated Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies. I always cry when the Beast transforms! The live-action version was well done, but not as affecting for me somehow.

Very nice Arne. Please tell us, what scale is your doll's house?

[@rebeccaspradlin6787]

Arne: Are you planning sometime to intstall indoor lighting in the dollhouse or at least some kind of camera lighting so that the inside of the dollhouse is better visible?

[@ARNECARLOS]

Rebecca Spradlin Lighting is important but in this case I want my dolls house to look beautiful by candlelight, so no, I won’t install electric light.
