I have been working really hard but not posting, I kept thinking I had not made enough process to show from the last post. I ran into more mental blocks, challenges, untested ideas and indecisiveness with this dollhouse than any other. So I will back up and update from here forward to keep from not posting. (this room is unfinished by the way:)
This is the first mop I have made and I really like it, even though it was fairly simple to make. I used the following materials to make it and the rack: cotton garden twine, wooden dowel, wood scraps, and garment closures, acrylic paint and dark stain. The pails came from Hobby Lobby.

| This was taken before I added the loop |
 |
| I sharpened the end of the dowel using a pencil sharpener |
 |
| I think they are called hook and eye closures from the sewing section |
 |
| I looped the garden twine around the dowel, glued and cut loops, then tied a piece of twine across the top |
 |
| I used a mini hand drill (smallest bit) and added the "eye" piece, I just bent the ends through the hole |
 |
| I wanted to show the great cast shadow on the ceiling |
