The Dolls 'House Magazine Publication

How thrilled I was when last Monday, my dear post master brought me this magazine. This is the Doll's House Magazine from UK- July 2010 Issue. You can read a lovely article about me and my work, so wonderfully written by the doll maker and writer Viola Williams.

This came at perfect time too..... I am listing my polar bear/ seal set on eBay tonight, so if you would like to bid or just look , please visit my auctions some time tonight or any day next week. the auction will be in a 7 days format.

Special tree ornament...the love of making tiny things

My dollhouse Christmas tree is almost ready . I am also working with my roombox. I wish I had more time to take pictures but honestly I do my best because time is all that counts for me. I am making *gazillions* of things at the same time but once in while I take my time, because I enjoy so much, and work on something slowly wondering how it will look like at the end.
This is my top of tree ornament. It is a replica of a Irish ornament. The top is brass that ,using a press saw , created a the *loops. the ball is a wood bead with 3 holes. The ball has 100% Australian gold that comes in a sheet. It is 99.9% pure gold. Then 3 holes and each one a *real* vintage swaroviski diamond, not the the ones we see on eBay . I removed this from an antique piece that was no longer good for me.
Now, I sure hope I will get all done before Christmas so I Can show you my first room box. I have made changes and changes, that is normal to me, but all was very worth it.
I don't think I will have furniture ready but the the room will have a Christmas tree and few little things.
It is raining today ...I love this weather because is cold enough for my fire place to be on all day , plus a big pot of soup is almost done as I have 8 children to feed soon.......smiling and happy!
