[@antoniorocha841]

Excellent end result, and very well explained, thank you!

[@laurahobbs1936]

The cutest thing! The Borrowers might snitch it.

[@JulieWarren]

I'd happily make them one, if they ever turn up! :)

[@suzannecuerrier279]

When I watch your videos, I'm reminded how worthwhile it is to take the time to make the miniatures with care. Thanks for sharing your very precise techniques.

[@JulieWarren]

Thanks Suzanne. I totally agree with you - it's going to be in your dolls house forever, so it's worth spending time on. :)

[@Foxiepawstotti]

I don't know what it is about your videos, you've got me crocheting again and I have even made some tiny sampler type thingies for my witches cottage. I think you really have a knack of making things sound appealing and are really good at getting information across at the same time...you should be a teacher because most of them would love to have your X factor!

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you so much, that's lovely to hear. I'm glad you've been inspired to get crocheting again! It's a lovely hobby. :)

[@chrissy24-7]

I love the look of this, and you can see the fuzziness from the brushing, just perfect 👌 💕

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Chrissy.

[@Panticle]

Lovely little mat, I can see myself planning a stupidly complex rug in that technique!

[@JulieWarren]

It's so much fun creating your own designs. :)

[@mikeandlisafleming3963]

Lovely! My grandmother use to do embroidery (pillow cases, wall decor, etc.), and she was so good at it that the back looked exactly like the front. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@JulieWarren]

That's lovely. I certainly need more practice, but do find it enjoyable. :)

[@elianelima6113]

Eu estou amando aprender tudo que você está ensinando.❤❤👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@JulieWarren]

I'm glad you're enjoying the tutorials. :)

[@SOMBREROSUE11562]

This is beautiful! Easy to follow along. Can't wait to make some rugs and doormats for my new house.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you. I hope you'll have fun making them.

[@KyushaStyleTuning]

Excellent tutorial Julie love the clear instructions. xxx

[@JulieWarren]

Thanks Kyusha! :)

[@ChrisAndCats]

My doormat is coiled up in a beautiful corkscrew shape despite using a frame and not over tensioning! Then again it was a piece of aida left over from the edge of a previous project which has lost all its stiffness from being squashed while that project was worked and held on the hoop so I think I'll iron it and use fabric glue for the edges, hopefully that straighten it out a bit!

[@JulieWarren]

If you are planning on placing it permanently, you could use glue or double-sided tape to stick it into place.

[@cheriwhitley8385]

Love this!!!thank u.li can’t wait to make some!

[@JulieWarren]

Have fun!

[@saracolameo7870]

😍wow!Grazie per i tuoi preziosissimi video!(tank you for your beautiful tutorial)

[@JulieWarren]

You are very welcome, thank you for watching.

[@michellebrady3621]

Beautiful ❣I love needle point rugs for the dollhouse. I am in the process of making a couple of kits for mine.

[@JulieWarren]

I find them so relaxing to do too! :)

[@aprilpauldo5685]

Wonderful 😍 definitely going to give this one a try

[@JulieWarren]

Thanks April, I hope you'll have fun making it. :)

[@jpsblue1]

Thank you❤️❤️

[@JulieWarren]

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@tamarab.7151]

great

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you.

[@georgecunningham9175]

Excellent! But I can guarantee you that this is one project I'll not be attempting! According to my eyes, my days of needlework (particularly needlepoint/petite point ) are long over. And there is no arguing with your eyes when they refuse to even perk up a little with new specs, etc. But rest assured, I will find a substitute mat for my service entry. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Panticle]

If I may offer a hint - if your eyes are not up to this, you can make a good doormat by cutting a piece of light brown leather, and turning it over so that the suede side is uppermost. I rubbed the middle of mine with abrasives and a smudge of dirty paintbrush water to make it look well used.

[@JulieWarren]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video and hope you're able to find a suitable mat. :)

[@JulieWarren]

That's a great tip Panticle. :)

[@sandraorganizationseeking1685]

LOL! Julie, I have a lovely little needle point rug I bought at a garage sale. It curls up; now I know why. Do you know if there is anything I can do to prevent this? Love your little mat.

[@JulieWarren]

I use starch when making larger rugs, but you could try a little bit of double sided tape and stick it in place.

[@SarahLoudesign]

Hello Julie iv just started renovating my dolld house and your videos have been so helpful!! But what I would love help with before starting anything is mainly the wiring for the lights? How do you do the lighting in your dolls house? Thanks xx

[@JulieWarren]

My dolls house came with copper wiring already fitted for the lighting, so I'm afraid I don't have any videos showing how to do that.

[@SarahLoudesign]

@@JulieWarren ahh ok I love the idea off being able to plug the light in the ceiling cause I forever changing my mind and I dont want to redo the roof everytime i change my kind 😂 xx

[@koonspatricia]

Where does the fridge fit???

[@JulieWarren]

It's in a lean-to outside of the back door! :)

[@Mr1fish2fish]

"Overstitch" = whip-stitch

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you, that's good to know.
