I work in two different scales, either 1/12, which I prefer: the maths is so much easier for someone schooled in inches and feet. But I also have a Lundby house, 1/18 scale which exercises my brain to keep the scale right.1For the uninitiated, 1 inch equals 18 inches in the real world.
So with this in mind, I recently acquired a lovely pram, in reasonable condition and all I had to do ,was make bedding. This I did, happily sewing away watching TV and when finished I took it back to my workshop. The following day I could not find it anywhere and although my room can be untidy, it had to be somewhere. Eventually a number of days later I found it under a table, minus half a wheel!!! It had rolled out of the house, which is on a shelf and perfected a nosedive to the floor.
Again with my new found acceptance of the status quo( God bless mediation and mindfulness) I searched the room more than once. I reached out to the lovely Facebook dolls house members and got so much sympathy and support . Next day I emailed a maker of 1/18 but they couldn’t supply a spare wheel.
On the next day as I walked out of the workshop, resigned to cutting a piece of clear plastic to fit ,when I saw the tiny piece of a wheel!!! It fitted perfectly and now it is almost as good as new.
So I was ridiculously pleased to have 4 wheels, which still turn and I had not got the loss out of proportion as a problem.
