MistyStarz Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Hi, My name is Robin Howland. I live in Indiana. I am new to dollhouses. I am working on my first house, that is log cabin. It was partially done. I am adding a porch, shingles and finishing work to it. I have really enjoyed doing this hobby. I think I will really ejoy this forum and will be able to learn from all of you. Thank you very much. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggi Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Welcome Robin: I to am working on my first house, (though you do get addicted and I've got two waiting to build and thinking of a third one already). You will find it is way to easy to get hooked on this hobby. The people on this forum are very helpful and informative. I'm always amazed at the talent shown by the majority of the members here. Most are so creative and do just absolutely beautiful work, and never seem to mind sharing their ideas and work. So welcome aboard and expect this hobby to take over your life. You will soon be looking at everything wondering how can I make this work in my dollhouse. LOL Peggi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MistyStarz Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 Thank you all so much for your warm welcome. The cabin I am working on is the Creekside. At least that is what it looks like. The base unit was already put togather. It didn't have a front porch so that's what I'm adding. Mine will look a little different then the one in the picture I found on the internet. I have already found out that they will become addictive. Tomorrow morning I am going to buy a little house called the Lafayette. I thought it would be fun to build one from the ground up. My 10 yr old daughter is enjoying this with me. I have my eye on some larger houses too, already!!! I will get some pictures taken soon!

Deb Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Hi Robin! Welcome to the community! I'm fairly new here too and just started on my second house. "Addictive" is a mild term for it, isn't it? What plans do you have for your Lafayette? And which bigger houses do you have your eye on? Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
