New Little Updates...

I hate it when I have been working really hard on my houses, but then looking back since my last blog update I really haven't made that much progress, but here we are anyway...
Enjoy :)

First off here are the stairs that I have made, it started off as just a normal straight set, but it was too short for my house so I added a nice corner bit, to be honest for my first attempt I don't think I did too badly... And I've also been hacking away at one of the floors madly trying to make an opening for the stairs, but the wood had got 5 layers to it, all ranging in different hardnesses and is prooving to be a real pain, but hopefully it will look ok once finished...

The above 2 photo's are of my cottage, I've added a beam running though the cottage and have rethatched the roof, but i've run out of hemp so willl need to buy some more soon and it is only half way through it's trim...


And then this is my new house that I have bought, but this one I have told myself is to stay in the box untill I finish my other dollhouses, but I'm finding it very hard to resist :P

Just wonderng but how do you store your houses? As I'm very quickly running out of table space...

Hmm... There's loads of weird banging noises coming from next door (I hope) and it's quite freaky... ARGH!!

I Know It Has Been A While

I know that it's been a while since my last post but I have been very busy with work and university. But hopefully over the next week or so I will at least have some photo's of my progress on all of my houses...
I have been very busy with the retreat cottage rethatching it and the staircase and staircase entrance for the scandinavian pine lodge!

ALSO!! I am having a dolls commissioned for me WOO! From Bella Belle Dolls!
They have some amazing dolls, so please check them out and the owner is really nice and ever so helpful.

Unfortunately I have made no more progress on the fantasy clock house or the Lundby main house, but I will do soon hopefully...

And yes I have bought another house, this I think will be my 6th house! ARGH! And I'm only 18, they are sooo addictive houses! I've bought the new Lundby stockholm house! :D Like new, so I can't wait to start adding my own touches here and there...

How do you you store yours? As I have no idea where to put mine at the moment, they're on various desks as we speak collecting dust :(

I Have Finally Made Some Further Progress On My First Project!

My Lundby of the dump has been sitting around collecting dust, waiting for the perfect light for the bathroom, which I have finally found! So I have just installed it and carpeted part of the lounge, except I managed to get a lead stuck under the carpet, so I had to pick it out and lay anothe piece! So I will have to go out and buy some more soon to finish carpeting the lounge.

Then...

















And Now...
























I'm still not really sure as to what to do with the above room, it's the room that joins the bathroom and the kitchen together and I'm finding it really hard to furnish. I had thought about having it as the dining room but it looked empty and so did the kitchen, then I had bought a table tennis table (which I have now sold) as it was far to big for the room.
So if you have any idea's please let me know! The more the better, and I'm open to wacky one's :)
