Life certainly got in the way of this build....of all of my dollhouse making schemes! But I have done some work and made some additions in the past few months on some projects. I am vowing to be more committed this year...and my hobby of dollhouses is one area. I love it, and am vowing to not life get in the way again!
So what has been happening. Let me break it down for you by current ongoing projects.
Stone House Quilts:
I got rolling on the stone for the Quilt shop and then a pinched nerve ended that task for a while. I tried to wait it out, but eventually packed up the house for a while to let my body heal. It eventually came back out though and in fits and starts I managed to complete the stone walls.
I also managed to get the interior painted! It has been a SLOW process! I am currently working on laying the 'hard wood' floor.
I am more than 3/4 of the way completed and I hope to start sanding this week!
The McKinley:
I tried to make a crib, but I was just not liking the way it turned out.
I haven't give up yet...but when I saw this crib in an antique shop...I couldn't resist!
Jason gifted me with a fabulous piece for the upstairs hallway. I loved my Christmas gift!!! And it fits perfectly!
Ove my birthday weekend away, I found this set at an antique shop. It is a bit more Victorian than I would like, but it is working nicely for the time being.
I am also working on creating some videos to complement this channel and to make a visual memory for me to document my work, my growth and my creativity. I am constantly learning each day. I can look at my Mckinley build from just a year or two ago and see things that I should have done to give it a more polished look. That is the beauty of this hobby.....it is a place to constantly be learning!
