…building a dolls house
My God daughter Heather has been using my bedside cabinet as a dolls house for 2 months now, ‘tidying’ all my worldly possessions and arranging them as she goes in place of my book she uses it for a bed, in place of the sewing set she makes this the table. So I decided to design and make a dolls house.
And luckily for me I met a carpenter who’s very much a doer, rather than me; a thinker and procrastinator! So it got completed inside two days. I wanted to leave it with a natural wood finish (I got my way with the floors) but there was an incident with some pink spray paint which as rather unfortunate. Ultimately I love it and it’s not the kind of thing I could send in the post.. nor find in the shops here. And now the carpenter wants to start a business making dolls houses. A nice memory to leave behind.
