The Hazelwood's residence- The Old Mill

‘What a lovely day! ‘,says Evie Hazelwood as she opens the window .
‘I love summer!’

 

 

 

Her mother Betty also likes summer as she can easily dry her laundry in the sun.

‘You will need a clothes peg for my jumpers mom’, says little Noah.
‘Thank you dear!’

 

 

Simon Hazelwood loves summer too. School is over and he has plenty of time for playing!

‘Look , I am the best! ‘he says, as he runs down the path rolling his hoop with great skill!

 

Sophia Hazelwood is the oldest of her siblings and she is so proud of her beautiful flowers!
‘They smell so nice! ‘,says Noah and his brother Elias agrees.

Samuel Stamp has a package for grandma Roxanne.
‘It’s from cousin Phoebe, I wonder what she has sent us!’
‘I hope it’s candy!’, says Noah.

 

‘Hold on tight, let’s race this butterfly!’
‘Hurry Elias, we can do it!’



 

Grandpa Homer Hazelwood made a swing for his grandchildren to play!
‘Come on grandpa, give me a big push!’, says Evie.

 

‘Is that big enough?’
‘Yay!!!’

 

As you have guessed this is the Hazelwood's residence in Corntopville!
Homer is the father of chef Basil Haselwood and the owner of one of the oldest windmill in Sylvania! They have renovated the mill into a cozy home for the grandparents and Basil lives with his family in a house next to it!

 

Since he was a young boy, Basil enjoyed the view from the rooftop.

 

He often uses his binoculars to watch the birds and explore the mountains far away!

...but wait.. oh no..little Noah is in the bucket

 

Although he seems to enjoy the ride, Sophia is upset with her naughty siblings!
-Bring him down now, gently and slowly! she yells.
-We are ready to catch him! Please don’t tell mom, ok?

 

Other than that, little Noah is so happy and he wouldn’t change his home and family with anything else in the world!

Some more...

 

 

I think that the Hazelwood mice are so cute in the photos and they have always been living in the old mill in my imagination. I had some extra ones from various lots so I decided I would make a grandparents couple! I also gave them names, mostly Greek names, as 'Basil' is a Greek name too. Unfortunately there aren't any Hazelwood babies so I thought little Noah Meadows despite the colour difference, would fit perfectly in the family as I don't own the Meadow mice parents.



 

  

 

 

 

 

One of the crafts I made for this project is the flower baskets. They are easy to make and they can be used to decorate any sylvanian building. I used the capsules of the chocolate egg surprises! I cut the lid in half and I wrapped (and glued) a string around it. You can use any coloured string you like. I only had a yellow one but I wanted them brown so I painted them with acrylics. Then I glued inside some plastic foliage and flowers. I used blue tack to attach the baskets on the buildings.

Also I found time to make some decent looking background mountains so the setting can look more realistic! I believe they add extra depth to any outside themed picture! I cut the mountain shape on hard paper and then I painted them with acrylics. I actually made two pieces with slightly different shades of green so I can combine them in various ways in my photos. Hope you can take an idea by these pictures and you can try it too:

A tip for making the climbing plants on a wall without damaging the building, is to use sticky tack, that can very easily be removed, to cover the wall surface and then carefully attach small plastic leaves. The thicker the leaves are placed the better the result can be!
