rosiebear Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi Everyone! I am almost brand spanking new in this hobby and am absolutely thrilled. Since I was a little girl I always wanted a doll house and although my Mom made me a two bedroom one, it really was not what I wanted. Now, through exciting conversations with my friend Susanna (whom is a member of this club), I finally dove right into it. I already had bought furniture over 10 years ago but never really did much else. Now I own the Garfield (although my hubby still has to put it together for me). I have been buying all kinds of need stuff for it like flooring, curtain material, wallpaper and the window upgrade package. Besides dollhouses, I am also a vintage Barbie and friends collector and own quite the collection as well as Chatty Cathy dolls. I love cats and have many of them (mostly Siamese) as well as three Yorkie girls, seahorses whom just had babies on Saturday, and guineapigs. Obviously I love animals and since I have no children of the human kind, the fury ones in my house are all spoiled beyond belief.

hydroped Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi Rosiebear, Oooh the Garfield is a nice house! I think you're really going to enjoy this hobby - it should come with a warning label however - miniatures are highly addictive. I started out with NO interreste in dolls.. then I saw James Carringtons character figures - I am now hooked on miniature people. No interrest in making furniture nope - no way.. then I started seeing some really gorgous hand made furniture.. while I'm still too chicken to try it right now - it's now on my list and sometime this year I'm supposed to take a sofa making class oh yea it starts small and while it also stays pretty small it definitely grows I think that's what I love about it best - there's no end to what you can do or create - if it can be made big it can be made small ;) And if you can't afford a real life mansion .. well you can make yourself a small one ;) Welcome to the forum and I hope you find lots and lots of fun stuff here!! -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
