This picture is of two houses custom built by members of the same family. The red one is a home here in town that was made for a girl I went to school with. Both show amazing attention to period details and have been well cared for through the years. Definitely a New England flair.
I have been MIA here for a bit but finally found a few minutes to share some pictures. This first one is of three dolls I made posing next to the house they all share with Kona-the Bernese Mountain dog and Sam-the Beagle. Lots of interest in the exhibit with some even on a waiting list for room to display. One lady in town had so many miniatures that they filled an 8' x 12' display case and then some.
As much as I love the first real day of getting down and dirty outside in my gardens I know it means less time for mini making. It's such a rejuvenation though because ideas for new projects seem endless now. I didn't even mind my chocolate lab Skidder racing around tearing up the grass. Which normally makes me nuts. Not today.
The Historical Society exhibit starts in two weeks. Trying to get lamp plugs fixed so I can turn the lights on. And then just a few last minute rearrangements and I'll be ready.
Paul's creepy cohorts are a trio of Halloween dolls. They will be introducing themselves soon. In the meantime, here is a picture of my beloved and long departed cat named Bird inside one of the first dollhouses I made.
It's Monday and it's raining again. I'm talking biblical amounts here. Depending on the weather cast 6-8" maybe a pocket or two of 10". Oh sump pump don't fail me now. But anyway...Here is a look at my dollhouse. I'm impressed. I started the project over ten years ago and since finishing unfortunately it's just been sitting around collecting dust. I have now a renewed vigor to start collecting and making items to fill it up.
I have always thought that you needed some kind of catchy idea to blog. A cause, a view, a monkey on your back, a bee in your bonnet, a wrench in your gears, a rain on your parade or whatever. I think my stick is that blogging is a crutch. One on which I am about to be leaning quite heavily. Just as an experiment of course. I should be in my crafting corner creating product and tweaking my construction methods. Or cleaning, or doing laundry, or attending to the mounting paperwork of my real job.
