When I got into making little things, I had no idea there was an army of people out there who had begun this hobby before me.
I knew about Queen Mary’s doll house in London but that was just the work of talented cabinet makers. I don’t suppose she was picking up bits of rubbish to turn into lights or bowls.
Anyway, I just enjoy making things and decorating and my house doesn’t need any more make overing(not a word but it is now)
But what I also didn’t know is that it quickly becomes an obsession.
Dishes remain unwashed, until I have to, ironing piles up until I have nothing to wear. Washing gets done because I have a thing about clean clothes. I am both desperate to finish a project and disappointed when I do.
Luckily, I have discovered a whole world of people out there who are so supportive . If you put your photos up, they enthuse about your effort and even show how they do their clever bits.
Thank goodness that my obsession is shared by others and is an acceptable kind of normal. Maybe.
