Wicker Follies Updated
I purchased a kit on Ebay some years ago, probably 7, and like most things I laid the kits aside and promptly moved on to other things. I decided to make the kits as part of a challenge. I am so glad I did! I really love how these have turned out and am planing on making many more items!

2021 Fairfield Updated
About 20 years ago, I built my first half scale dollhouse, the Fairfield by Greenleaf, and after that experience, I swore I would never build another half scale house. Over dozens of half scale houses later, I decided to remodel the Fairfield. I've almost finished the exterior and after the holidays I start on the interior.

Pierce Re-Build Updated
Re-build of partially constructed Pierce. First dollhouse since 1982! Dollhouse partially assembled with glue gun and wood putty. Porch floor was scored for floor board look and painted grey. Musty, dusty house that had been stored in a basement. At least it is dry!

Joseph Angel Dollhouse Updated
So excited to share my journey with the Joseph Angel dollhouse that I recently acquired from a fellow forum member (thank you Annie!). I've been a long time lover of dollhouses/miniatures and having a Joseph Angel is a dream come true for me. This will be my first attempt at completing a dollhouse, so be patient with me!

Neverwas Haul steampunk house on wheels Updated
Our club did a project led by Michelle Miller, building a tiny version of the Wonderful 'Neverwas Haul' steampunk house on wheels. Its a real structure built in Berkeley years ago. Its traveled all over the world too. So we decided to try building one from scratch in 1:48 scale ourselves. After our small group of three women collaborated on it. After we finished ours Michelle volunteered to have a ZOOM class to teach it to almost 100 participants. It was a challenging project but there were lots of ways each individual could customize everything - colors, flooring, wallpapers and even placement of rooms. There were so many wonderful versions.

The French Chateau Remodel Updated
My parents gave me this house over 30 years ago. I completed the shell with the help of my dad, but life, marriage, kids, and many, many moves put the house on the back burner. But, my husband always managed to keep it safe during the moves. Now I've decided to start over. I've removed all the siding, brick foundation and I'm starting over with the vision of an old run down French Chateau purchased by a young couple as a fixer-upper. She is an interior designer he is a Chef. They've completed the inside but the outside still needs to be done. I had to cut extra windows as this is a front opening house and there were no doors or windows on the side or back. I added 4 windows to the side and I've cut a huge opening in the back for an addition in the kitchen. I have a vision and plan... now to see if I can make it happen.

Dayspring Cottage, Greenleaf 1:24 scale Tennyson Updated
Many years ago I built the 1:12 Tennyson, but have always wanted to try my hand at the 1:24 scale. I always paint and paper kits first, then assemble the house, however, half scale Greenleaf kits warp terribly when paint or wallpaper is applied. To solve this problem, I measured the walls and cut out the wallpaper, but instead of putting it on the walls, I assembled the shell of the house first, then after the shell was constructed, I placed the wallpaper and painted. Trim, new windows, doors, and a porch has been added.

The Addams Family house Updated
I've had this dollhouse since I was a little kid, & always had thought the front porch overhang looked a lot like the Addams family house from the 90s movies...so I decided to make it happen!

Night with the Fairies Updated
This year for the first time I submitted an entry for the HBS Creatin' Contest 2021.
Concept:
A child's lost 1:12 scale dollhouse becomes the home and mask shop of an enterprising 1:24 scale fairy. The “bones” of the contest kit made me think of old Bliss houses and the concept of a mixed-scales build developed from there. I redesigned the structure based on kit. The exterior “Bliss” inspired artwork was designed and hand colored by me, applied to the structure and then aged in place. Interior mixed scales are 1:1, 1:12, and 1:24.
The story:
When young Bonnie was called away from her playtime, the dollhouse became lost and could not find her. It waited where she had tucked it out of sight. It waited through the seasons, the winter rains and the long heat. It waited through the wasps who built nests and raised their broods, and it sheltered the snails who sought its cool interior and the mushrooms that sprouted in the semi-darkness. It waited until it found the fairy Lydia, and then it welcomed her to make her home within.
The invitation on Lydia's vanity read “Your presence is requested for a Pleasure Ball.” A Pleasure Ball! Lydia made dozens of masks for other revelers to wear to the ball. Soon they would arrive in her shop to choose their perfect disguises. Soon she would change into her floral finery and join them for the festivities at the Night with the Fairies pleasure ball!
