I took this photo a few days ago, of my smallest girls inspecting the dollhouse my husband made for our youngest granddaughter for Christmas. I couldn't very well show it any sooner, as I never know who is lurking here on my Blog. It was a very "bare-bones, open concept" dollhouse, with just the mere suggestion of walls and roof - not the kind I would have chosen myself, but it was what they wanted - something easily accessible and for a wide range of different sized dolls. It did have stairs between each level though.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I took this photo a few days ago, of my smallest girls inspecting the dollhouse my husband made for our youngest granddaughter for Christmas. I couldn't very well show it any sooner, as I never know who is lurking here on my Blog. It was a very "bare-bones, open concept" dollhouse, with just the mere suggestion of walls and roof - not the kind I would have chosen myself, but it was what they wanted - something easily accessible and for a wide range of different sized dolls. It did have stairs between each level though. Today I'm just taking it easy, continuing to work on mohair wigs. I've sewn the wefting for two so far, and have one more to go. The mohair needs a lot of combing and cleaning because it's full if plant debris, and the lanolin in the wool is making my hands super soft from all the handling. It's also stirring up plenty of static, with mohair sticking to everything, and tiny zapps every time I touch anything. Next step is to crochet some wig caps, then tackle the hot glue gun and gluing all the wefting onto the wig caps. Then comes shampooing, and a good thorough combing. Then after the wigs are totally dry I fially get t see if all the work was worth it.
