susanklein Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hello! I found this forum as I was registering for the dollhouse kit contest from Dollhouse Miniatures. I look forward to checking it all out in the coming days (years!). I have one fully-built dollhouse - spending all my spare dollars on various items to decorate (I love ebay!). But since I finished that I have discovered more and more DIY ways and so have gone on to several room boxes. I cajole my husband into making the boxes, and I decorate. I like to make everything - from the wall hangings to the furniture to the dolls - myself. I use books or invent when I need to. My latest project is a four-room hanging box that I hope to even make the lamps for. I have it wired, I just have to figure out what and where! I plan to take my time on this one for sure. Kind of a funny hobby for a mother of twin boys, but hopefully some day I will have some granddaughters! That will be a while, though, since my boys are 13. But I was delighted to find this forum since I am always looking for ideas. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Well here's a big welcome to the forum family, Susan, from another DIY-er! When you've made a total of five posts you can share pictures of all your creations with us in the Gallery. Which house have you built? I admire your discipline in being able to confine yourself to just one house. I started out that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanklein Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Thank you, all! And it is nice to know that there are some Connecticut mini-people out there. Where I am, I haven't been able to find any connections. And so you know, yes, I only have one doll house but I have made ten roomboxes! I also have two dollhouse kits up in my closet waiting for the time to get to them. Those might be waiting for a granddaughter ... I have only been working with miniatures about two years or so, but they have certainly taken over my life! Or so my husband tells me. I look forward to checking out all the various topics here - thanks for your welcomes! Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterfieldzoo Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Haha! I was going to say we all had 'only one' dollhouse at some point. And then the disease strikes. Mini-mania. There is no cure. But I see you already have it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
