honeybunny Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I am from Bountiful, Utah. I have wanted to build a dollhouse ever since my early twenties when I saw the dollhouse my dad built an older sister. (It sucks being one of the youngest in the family, you miss everything!) I work two jobs, and have used the excuses that I have been too busy, haven't had the room, etc., etc., etc. Recently, I decided that it will never change, so bought the Fairfield. I'm really excited about this, but also nervous about messing it up royally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathieB Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Welcome to the community, Loretta! One of the first things you'll learn here is that there is no way to mess up -- not royally, not commonly! ;) One of the beauties of this craft is the ability to make any fluff-up into a creative innovation. Got a problem? A question? ASK! Someone here will have been there, done that, and be able to give you one or more ways to pull it off.

havanaholly Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Welcome, Loretta, I have two Fairfield kits I hope to bash together; right now I'm decorating my first attempt at a 1:24 scale dollhouse, the "pueblo" kit from Hobby Builders' Supply; not enough pictures to start an album (I use a conventional film-camera and I still have unexposed film to play with) yet.nervous about messing it up royallypractical impoosibility, you will either be able to cover it up with spackling compound or wallpaper/ basebords/ cornices/ drapes or bash it into something that looks deliberate.

Peggi Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hello and welcome to the forum. The feeling you have is perfectly normal--even after you build a few, the feeling is there--just take a deep breath and jump right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
