Julie's Doll House: December 2013
http://juliesdollhouse.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, 29 December 2013. A new project - my Georgian mansion. Such a long time without a post. but I've been busy. I've recently acquired a huge mansion house. It has 12 rooms over four storeys, including a basement and attic. It has taken me some time to fix the lighting system, which is the copper tape type. There are 64 light bulbs running over two circuits, with 50 and 32 bulb transformers. A soldering iron and mini drill have been great help over the last couple of weeks! Links to this post. I now ...

Sunday, 11 May 2014. The steps to getting there. I love to read comments so thank you in advance. I read every one and try to reply to all. Julie :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Hello and thanks for visiting my blog. A visit to the Museum of the City of New York some years ago set me off on a miniaturist journey. I loved the antique dolls houses there, and when I came home, I set about building my first house. A new range for the kitchen. More Minis @ Blogspot. Custom Rehab Week 08. Working in 1/...

Julie's Doll House: A new range for the kitchen
http://juliesdollhouse.blogspot.com/2014/05/a-new-range-for-kitchen.html
Sunday, 25 May 2014. A new range for the kitchen. I needed a new range for the kitchen, something that would suit the date of the house, which is Edwardian, early 1900s. Range prices go from under £10 to over £100. The cheaper ones aren't realistic in the least, and the others are out of my price range. So, I decided to build one myself! Making the range . Making the range . May 26, 2014 6:00 pm. Wow, its fabulous! June 19, 2014 12:48 am. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I now own a 12 scale Dolls Hou...

Julie's Doll House: December 2012
http://juliesdollhouse.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, 10 December 2012. Quite an age since I last posted, life often gets in the way of doing things we like. However it didn't stop me from going to the December Dolls' House fair in York. As usual there was far too much to tempt us. We made Christmas roses at the workshop with lovely lady from Ladies Mile Miniatures. And the equally lovely. Talked some of us through furniture makeovers, some fab tips and she even e-mailed us with some notes afterwards including some on French polishing. I now own a 1...

Julie's Doll House: Fail to plan, plan to fail
http://juliesdollhouse.blogspot.com/2013/07/fail-to-plan-plan-to-fail.html
Sunday, 21 July 2013. Fail to plan, plan to fail. This old house has sat for far too long waiting for me to start, so start I have. Most of the interior paper has been removed as it was in very poor condition and the same paper is available via Hobby's. I've retained all the external paper and fitments, however have removed the 'glass' which I will replace with acetate. I will also be choosing room colour schemes - at least wall and carpets - so will be buying paper and flooring over the next few weeks.

Wednesday, 2 January 2013. An exciting new 1:16 scale project! A friend at the dolls' house club very kindly suggested I look at two of her houses that she had bought recently from an auction house. I had mentioned that I was ready to dive in to another project. I fell for this lovely house on sight so bought it immediately! What an absolute beauty. I can't wait to get started!

Sunday, 15 January 2012. Dressmaking. a first! My nearly non-existent dressmaking skills were put to the test this week. The project at dolls' house club was to create a hanging dress with honeycomb stitching on the chest. I finished off the dress at home as the stitching took most of the session. I'm quite pleased with it for a first attempt, and may try others. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Hello and thanks for visiting my blog. Dressmaking. a first! More Minis @ Blogspot.

Julie's Doll House: December 2011
http://juliesdollhouse.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 16 December 2011. A lovely start to Christmas! This week I joined the ladies from the dolls house club for our Christmas dinner. We had yummy food at the Harvester in Fulwell. We exchange gifts, bran-tub style, and I received this lovely wooden toybox kit by Dragonfly from the US. I need to find some clear spray varnish to make it look even more stunning. I also received this lovely flapper-style handbag, with beautiful stitching detail. What a great start to Christmas! Links to this post. It is ...

Julie's Doll House: July 2011

Sunday, 31 July 2011. Shopping as it used to be. My 1/12 scale 1950s-style haberdashery department. Soon to become part of a shopping emporium, is looking quite sweet. Creating the scene brought back some lovely memories of Binns, Sunderland's department store which sadly closed in the 1980s. Binns was a shopper's delight, a real department store with wonderful displays, dedicated staff and stocked full of quality merchandise. Sadly, proper department stores of its ilk are becoming rarer. And if you also...
