It has been a while since I blogged, partly due to personal circumstances and there is only so much I share.
Partly too, I haven’t felt I had anything pertinent to say regarding miniature making.
Not that I haven’t been doing it, miniature making I mean, because I have.
I have enjoyed making some box rooms but I have always wanted to buy a proper house. It had to have 2 or 3 storeys and a proper hallway with stairs and closing doors.
You won’t be surprised to find that I have been haunting pre loved sites for a long time . It is amazing how many houses look right from the front but when you look deeper, they are not to 1/12 scale. A lot of children’s houses are not to scale and a lot of the other houses are prohibitively costly.
Anyway I found one but it was a long way away but it was the one I wanted . That is how we ended up in a car park in Wales, swapping a dolls house from one car to another. Next time you are in a car park and see this kind of activity, just think Gumtree not stolen goods.
It is big! I was going to stand it where my Santa’s workshop is but then I won’t manage to reach the top floor! I am quite small.
So 2020 will be my dolls house year but I am going to take my time.
This hobby is all consuming ,if I am not careful but it also makes people very friendly.
On a recent trip, everyone spoke to me because I was embroidering a bed cover . It brings the best out in folk.
