and just before lunch, Peter Alden holding the clock to prove it, you have made the main carcase of your dolls house.

window details(very futery)

time to make a fireplace on the last day
everybody working very hard
and the house is finished!! just like that. . . .

Cool Doll House!
One of my favorite Christmas memories is of the year I bought a big Doll House Kit and built it at my neighbors house as a surprise for out daughter, Jamie, when she was about 7 or 8 years old.
She loved her Doll House, which we still have in a closet somewhere.
I sometimes think of dragging it out and restoring it, but I'll wait for an appropriate time.
There's sure no room for it in this house anymore...
It's beautiful. Put in near a beach and I'll move in!
A lovely project Claire, and you did a great job. Have fun with it this winter. Looks like just the ticket to pass the cooler months.
Futery? New word to me :)
Wildside, i'll do it with bright lights to help the SAD and a glass of wine for artisitc inspiration.
Jim, theres always room for a dolls house. i didn't have one as a child so I'm just making up for it now.
Gary, its a dream house, where's your dream shore?
Kerri, it might by futtery, a verb as in 'stop futtering with that' usually directed at kids, to futer is to fiddle, mess with. it was fiddley cutting out the wee bits.
