Jet Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi everyone, It's about time to introduce myself. My name is Jet. I have just started building my Beacon Hill and already have found a lot of hints and tips on this forum. I have never build a Greenleaf house before, but the Beacon Hill is not my first dollhouse (and probably not my last). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peggi Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi Jet and welcome to the forum. I looked at your website and you have some nice things on it. But I really wish I could read it, so I could understand the descriptions. Did you make some of the dresses shown, they are very nice. Seems like you've done a good many room boxes.

havanaholly Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Well (blush) if I'd clicked on your links I would have seen your houses. I love the mouse-house, did you make the little mice that live there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 @Wendy: I don't know the official names of my dollhouses. But you can find pictures on my website www.kleinspul.nu . (Dollhouses = Poppenhuizen) @Chris: I love to see some pictures. Since I ordered the Beacon Hill I have been collecting Beacon Hill internetsites (see: http://kleinspul.bestelinks.nl/rubrieken/beacon-hill.html ). @havanaholly: yes, I made the mice myself. I made them years ago. My father makes my website because I don't have much time (hobby and work) and because he likes to do it. So he decided to put the mouse house also on my website. (It is the first house I made (about 20 years ago).) The furniture is made from matches and matchboxes. (I was inspired by "the rescue rangers".) @Peggi: Yes, I make the dresses myself. It is not that hard to make them. You just have to know how. What would you like to have translated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodteach0 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Hello everyone, I have been a long time reader of this forum,which I love, and now feel it's time to introduce myself. I am a fairly recent recently retired teacher/counselor(35 yrs.) and I live in Ohio. I have always loved miniatures and have been building dollhouses for about 2years. I am currently working on three dollhouses for 3 little girls as surprise gifts Their folks know but the girls do not. I'll have to get a camera and get some work done on the computer so I can post pictures. As much as I love minitures they are my second love my firt love is animals(not counting my chidren of course). I currenty have 13 kitties and two small dogs(all fixed) No, my house does not stink,I've checked with others, and I'm not overworked. Hey I have time to build miniatures and raise lots of houseplants. I have raised 3 healthy, successful, happy( well one is not too happy right now,he's in Irag) children. and we always had lots of animals. I feel that my kids learned to be kind,responsible, and to have empathy for other living things partly because of our animals. Sorry didn't mean to write abook. Also please excuse the typos.I'm a two fingered typist. goodteach0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodteach0 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Thanks for the warm welcom folks! Nutti ,you asked what I'm building for the little girls. The Orchid ACranberry Cove(this family has more room but the dollhouse still has a smallish footprint) Getting ready to choose the third from my kit supply-probably will be an Arthur or the Haunted House(but not as a haunted house. Interestingly,after checking with the parents all the kids love purple. So I have 2 of them painted the most gorgeous shade of light purple and the third one will be also. I had it mixed at Walmart. goodteach0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spesmom Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I have ordered the Queen Anne by Real Good Toys. It should be in sometime next week. I don't know what I am getting myself into. Keep the tips coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 That's one of the biggest kits around, I think, so be prepared for lots of boxes & plan on a BIG building space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
