As you may (or may not) recall, the pre-renovation dollhouse had some inconsistent floor heights. Not that there is anything wrong with that. And, as you may also recall, I had a bit of a disaster with the interior walls being too thin for the doors to be fitted into them. It’s not a total [...]

On the level
Posted in Restoration, tagged 31 Kings Farm, dad, dollhouse on March 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
In addition to loaning me his proper 1:1 sized level (a.k.a. the level of power), “The Dad” gave me some lessons in wielding the awesome power and responsibility that is the level. I can now raise my rock star power hand in the air, because I too can wield the level of power. Theoretically speaking, [...]

Did you know when you are sawing, you have to think of sawing straight on the following axes: That which you are sawing back and forth on (we shall call this axis “the axis of straight”) That which is 90 degrees to the right/left of the direction of the saw (we shall call this “the [...]

Golly, I just realised it has been one month since I last posted. I have been so sidetracked by the horrors that is busy time @ work and my re-found joy for throwing paint at canvases (the larger the better…and I mean throwing in an entirely metaphorical manner), that I really have neglected you. Even [...]
In the 1:12 doghouse

You’ve probably been feeling neglected and underappreciated. Perhaps you’ve felt I’ve left you out of the 1:12 loop? Don’t worry it’s not you. It’s not you at all; in any way, shape or form. You’re still wonderful and fun and amazing and you have great taste. (I mean…look at the blog you’re reading, good choice!) [...]

As mentioned previously, due to visitors from overseas I am in the equivalent of purgatory for the person who has other stuff to do and it is ongoing. However, the deep, dark secret I have been keeping from you is…that I can keep secrets, despite all appearances to the contrary. I know, surprising, neh? No [...]
Backtrack…

I have previously mentioned the amazingly cool miniature shops in Covent Garden and Kings Road, Chelsea and that I still had the catalogue from the Kings Road shop, well on revisting the catalogue it turns out it was the catalogue from the Covent Garden shop, not the Kings Road shop. I know, confusing, right? Well [...]
You let just one into the 1:12 world

…and they bring their cousins, sisters, fathers, uncles, brothers and characters from spin off tv shows. A couple more inhabitants for 31 Kings Farm turned up: I haven’t yet worked out the “family” dynamics yet. I am not losing the billiard room, so out of Oz, Gwen, Dawn, Mrs Summers, Buffy and Dr Who…at least [...]
And only 1:12 the calories

I have been swept up in imaginings of a 1:1 serve of rich chocolate self-saucing pudding today (or maybe even a 2:1 or 3:1 serve…mmmmm) but Etsy managed to sidetrack me with this cupcake wonderment: Now I actually have a 1:12 real glass cakestand which is currently empty. Real glass and only 1:12 size; you [...]

Given I am stuck in limboland, with the uncomfortable realisation that pretty much everything I do in my spare time (painting, this project and more) involves making a godawful mess, I thought I would share a new discovery. New! Discovery! Only discovered within the last hour!!!!!! Although I rely on ebay (.com, .com.au and co.uk) [...]
