whippet-gal Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I thought I'd better introduce myself, as although I've been around the mini community for quite a while, I've not been active on this group. That's changed since I got my Orchid! I've found the blogs, posts & galleries an enormous help. My first dolls house was a kit-bashed project I did by making 2 houses into one. I really enjoyed the challenge, as I had to learn so many new skills. I like all the different aspects of the hooby - finding books to do period research (although I'm far from a purist!), looking around me & at photos for inspiration, decorating, planning, making miniatures etc etc. My second house is the Dolls House Emporium's Grosvenor Hall. That's packed away for the time being, as I fancied working on a smaller project - hence the Orchid. I live in East Yorkshire, England, have a wonderful husband, Eddie, & 3 adorable whippets. Glad to be here Jackie / Whippet-gal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Welcome to the forum, Jackie. I think whippets have such sweet faces. Lucky you to have three such sweeties! to love. I'd like to see pictures of your kit bash & we are all wanting to see your Orchid (if I can get the dumbputer to cooperate I have some additions to the blog on mine, mumble, mumble). We have lots of fun here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJEP Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hi and welcome!! I would love to see some of your houses. Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippet-gal Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Thank you so much for your lovely welcomes. Photos of my houses can be seen in my album in my signature. Sam's Folly is my first house - the one I kit-bashed. As for any Orchid photos - it's just a pile of wooden bits & pieces, at the moment, waiting for a fine day so I can start sanding :lol: I'll certainly share my Grosvenor Hall project with you all, when I return to it. Nutti, you know me from All things Mini:) I adore Italian greyhounds, they're rarer than white orchids Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovecats Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi Jackie! Nice to see you here! How is your husband? Bummer on the Grosvenor being put away, I have wondered about your progress! I haven't exactly been progressing these days, but have been getting that desire to get back to it. I just need to spend the money on some lawbre fireplaces and a few other things for it..problem is that i keep spending the money on other houses and things.... I need to check out our orchid!
