<b><span style="font-size: large;">Two Hearts & a Dollhouse </span><span style="font-size: medium;">- the complete novel</span> <br /><i>(by Simplystella & ChatGPT)
</i></b><br /><br />Raindrops tapped gently against the windowpane of the old cottage as Dolly House sat on the couch, her heart heavy with the weight of her recent break-up. <br />Swearing off love, she had left behind the familiar city and moved to a quaint town to renovate her great-aunt's cottage, seeking solace and a fresh start as a single, strong, and independent soul.<br /><br />The town embraced her with its charm, but it was a dance under an unexpected downpour that would become the turning point. Caught in a spontaneous moment, Dolly found herself twirling in the rain with a stranger who soon became a dear friend, their laughter mixing with the rhythm of the drops.<br /><br />One day, wandering through the town's cobbled streets, the aroma of freshly baked cupcakes led her to a cozy shop. Inside, she met Mia, the effervescent owner with a flair for baking and life. Their shared laughter and stories forged an unbreakable bond, and Mia quickly became the quirky confidante Dolly had unknowingly yearned for.<br /><br />But it was a chance encounter at the local park that truly disrupted Dolly's carefully constructed plans. As she watched a group of playful dogs, her gaze landed on a man who exuded both rugged charm and an air of mystery. <br />Dr. Ethan Miller, the town's enigmatic veterinarian, had a way with animals and a smile that ignited a spark within Dolly's heart.<br /><br />Despite her intentions, Dolly found herself drawn to Ethan's kindness and the connection they shared over their love for animals. As they spent more time together, Dolly's resolve to remain independent wavered, and the walls around her heart began to crumble.<br /><br />In the midst of heartwarming friendships, unexpected rain dances, and budding romance, Dolly learned that embracing love didn't mean sacrificing her strength or independence. <br />Instead, it meant allowing herself to open up to new experiences and to the possibility of sharing her life with someone who cherished her for who she was.<br /><br />The old cottage, once a symbol of isolation, transformed into a haven where friendships flourished and love bloomed. <br />Dolly House discovered that sometimes, the most beautiful chapters in life were written when least expected, under the raindrops that whispered tales of second chances and the power of a heart renewed. <br /><br />😂😂😂

This is the glue I use the most! Generally, I use it to glue small surfaces, but it can be used to glue larger surfaces as well.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=8838269d79fc5cdd5ffdcc8d7e3aa3b7&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=office-products&keywords=Glue Roller" target="_blank"><b>Glue Rollers</b></a></span> - strong, dry adhesive that can be used both on porous (<i>paper, cardstock, wood, fabric</i>) and non-porous surfaces (<i>plastic, acetate, metal</i>). They don't require drying time, and I mostly use them to glue big, flat surfaces as they're very quick and easy to use.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=7c46492972822b33e88c364767369dd7&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=arts-crafts&keywords=Double Sided Tape" target="_blank">Double Sided Tape</a></b></span> - a very strong, mess-free adhesive. It can be used on pretty much every material, and comes in a lot of different widths (most common are: 3mm, 6mm, 8mm, 12mm, 19mm). I find <a href="https://www.amazon.com/DMSTECH-Adhesive-Resistant-Adhesion-Transparent/dp/B09H5GH9YF/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=Double%252BSided%252BTape%252B3mm&qid=1683489224&sr=8-6&th=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=2d8dcfbeae57bd965303d3903368c479&camp=1789&creative=9325" target="_blank"><b>the smallest sizes</b></a> to be especially useful.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://amzn.to/3t8lNgI" target="_blank">Adhesive Putty</a></b></span> - I use it every single day! It's a stretchy, sticky and reusable putty that can be used to temporarily glue pretty much any material. I use it to hold still things while I'm painting them, and to temporarely fix my minis in dioramas so they won't fall down. <br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=614fbed03fa9e570ac4908cff8ef64c1&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=arts-crafts&keywords=Super Glue" target="_blank">Super Glue</a></b></span> - well, this is a staple for craft projects! I mostly use it to glue non-porous surfaces to one another (i.e.: plastic to metal). My favourite is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-Super-Glue-Easy-Brush/dp/B0001P0DJW/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2WTMY2LFVPZZ&keywords=super%252Bglue%252Bloctite%252Bbrush&qid=1683489324&sprefix=super%252Bglue%252Bloctite%252Bbrush%252Caps%252C229&sr=8-4&th=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=79c36831124f262bf39c29700168f0d0&camp=1789&creative=9325" target="_blank"><b>this one with a brush applicator!</b></a><br /><br />

It has a consistency similar to acrylic paints, but a richer texture that's perfect to smooth out uneven surfaces and to mimic various textures such as woodgrain and plaster. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Liquitex-BASICS-Gesso-Surface-Medium/dp/B000KNDMLG/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_it_IT=%25C3%2585M%25C3%2585%25C5%25BD%25C3%2595%25C3%2591&crid=1VV3OV4OMBXHK&keywords=Acrylic%252BGesso%252Bliquitex&qid=1683489548&sprefix=acrylic%252Bgesso%252Bliquitex%252Caps%252C145&sr=8-3&th=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=1e72c79d61ba0290f81107e01060f3f9&camp=1789&creative=9325" target="_blank"><b>My favourite brand is Liquitex</b></a> - it's a bit expensive but a bottle tipically lasts me AT LEAST one year, so it's definitely worth its price!<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=765d13c267b9e93a90544043751e6151&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=arts-crafts&keywords=Acrylic Paints" target="_blank">Acrylic Paints</a></b></span> - Again, these are a staple for me. They can be used to color pretty much everything, from paper to polymer clay to metal and plastic. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Americana-Acrylics-Colors-Popular-Bottle/dp/B017AD5I5G?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=539d7288d4ea18c5f667b3ff05619e6a&camp=1789&creative=9325" target="_blank"><b>My favourite brand is DecoArt</b></a> - their colors are very smooth and easy to apply and they're not too expensive!<br />

Only caveat - I don't recommend using it on polymer clay as it sometimes has a weird chemical reaction that makes the clay forever sticky. My personal favourite is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sally-Hansen-Dries-Instantly-Fluid/dp/B077ZCNZYP/?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=8a2e4d7d8f4413e42f46c19699f6b60e&camp=1789&creative=9325" target="_blank"><b>this one by Sally Hansen</b></a> because it's cheap and SUPER glossy.<br /><br />

They can write on virtually every type of surface and they don't fade. I don't have a favourite brand, but I mostly use <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Staedtler-Lumocolor-Permanent-318-9-0-6mm/dp/B00INCO4EK/?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=ee0a1cbc737e5d07612d6dec75f8514d&camp=1789&creative=9325" target="_blank"><b>the ones by Staedtler.</b></a><br />

They can write on most kinds of surface and they're perfect for writing on dark backgrounds. My favourite <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Signo-Um-153-Impact-Stock-White/dp/B00LMATLHU/?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=31e2bf1782c443506d8cd3395458c2de&camp=1789&creative=9325" target="_blank"><b>brand is Uniball!</b></a><br />

Their ink seeps through the paper, coloring it on both sides! I use them a lot to make leaves and petals for miniature flowers.<br /><br />
<h1 id="misc-mediums">MISC MEDIUMS</h1>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=28ae8fe64290c13d5ca6c1e5ae40ac34&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=arts-crafts&keywords=Polymer Clay" target="_blank">Polymer Clay</a></b></span> - needs no introductions! I mostly use this to make miniature food, like my miniature bread recipe. My favourite brands are <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=e82b71e8ed3cd3ca33fae7c2ec28e05d&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=arts-crafts&keywords=Fimo" target="_blank"><b>Fimo</b></a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=c9c5785f301b3ee44f179944d5193f4f&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=arts-crafts&keywords=Cernit" target="_blank"><b>Cernit.</b></a><br />

I use them to create handles for drawers, and anytime I need to create a very small detail like a screw, or a little lever, a small knob, even wheels for trolleys and carts!<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=cfd9e05f21cfb2808e532db982457ce3&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=arts-crafts&keywords=eyepins for jewelry making" target="_blank">Eyepins</a></b></span> - they're very flexible and easy to shape and cut. I use them to create pivot mechanism and hinges (for working doors), and to add metallic accents to my miniatures.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=simplystella-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=4e5f953af43bf40ec5fffa6868e2f31b&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=arts-crafts&keywords=micro glass beads" target="_blank">Micro Glass Beads</a></b></span> - I originally bought them to mimic the look of sugar on miniature food, but then I realized they're awesome for making miniature flowers and berries and to add a grainy, sandy texture to acrilyc paints.<br /><br />
<h1 id="paper-cardstock">PAPER & CARDSTOCK</h1>

A <b>free printable template</b> is provided; you'll find the download link in the video.<br />
<b><a href="https://payhip.com/b/ghAqG" target="_blank">Click here to get the digital templates</a></b> for cutting with a <b>Cricut</b> or a <b>Silhouette</b> cutting machine!<br /><br />
<img src="http://www.simplystella.com/blogyt/washm1.jpg" border="0" height="450" width="800" /><br /><br />
The first thing you'll have to do to <b>make this miniature laundry machine</b>, is to cut out all the parts of the template into cardstock. You can use cardstock from <b>old food packaging</b>!<br /><br />
<img src="http://www.simplystella.com/blogyt/washm2.jpg" border="0" height="450" width="800" /><br /><br />
To make a <b>rotating drum</b>, you'll just need some cardstock, metallic paper and a paper fastener. Easy peasy :) <br /><br />
<img src="http://www.simplystella.com/blogyt/washm3.jpg" border="0" height="450" width="800" /><br /><br />
Once you have the base structure ready, it's time to add some functioning details. You can make a <b>working drawer</b> and add <b>real buttons</b> and a <b>rotating control knob </b>for a realistic touch. <br /><br />
<img src="http://www.simplystella.com/blogyt/washm4.jpg" border="0" height="450" width="800" /><br /><br />
Finally, you can <b>make a working door</b> using some more cardstock and clear plastic from used packaging. <br /><br />
<img src="http://www.simplystella.com/blogyt/washm5.jpg" border="0" height="450" width="800" /><br /><br />
With these simple steps, you'll be able to create an adorable and (sort of) functional miniature washing machine for your dolls. So go ahead and give it a try! <b>Watch the video to get the complete step-by-step instructions</b> and the link to the <b>free printable template</b>. <br /><br />
