Part Three... Good News....

-
Got the long awaited phone call yesterday.... my 'room' will be arriving on THURSDAY! Then a few days after that that erectors will arrive and it will only take one day to put up! YES!!!! Question.... should I book the electrician  now or wait until next week? If I book him now and the room/erectors might not turn up.... or wait and the electrician might be booked out???? I think I'll phone him and maybe sort of book him???LOL
Better get going on ordering some damp proofing and the insulation. My car is booked in for a service on Wednesday and I was going to a DIY store while I wait anyway... so now I can buy and not just look! Will also look for more wallpaper samples, dad hates it when I do but the stores don't object and it's not like I don't spend a small fortune on other stuff while in there!!!!
Might look and see if they have the heater I want while I'm there as well?
Oh, and lighting and floor coverings and perspex and ....... Yeah, I will need to make a list! LOL


This is the sort of garage I'm buying but as I said before without the garage door.... or the window there will be a side door though. It will measure 16'6" x 12'6" so not a bad size.... Oh, and it's 8' high.

Three posts in three days.... a record for me! Well apart from when I did Dolly Cold Turkey... then I posted EVERY day for ???? I think it was about 200 days.... a long time anyway!
 But this time I will only be posting when I have news....or progress to report! (most days knowing ME)
It would be nice to know if people are finding this interesting so please comment.... or click on the 'follow' button thingy! I guess it will be more interesting once I start building the houses, stores, etc.

Simple Wardrobes And Storage

I have a TON of doll clothing and after years of rummaging through bags and never finding what I'm looking for or even remembering what I have so I thought it was time I made some quick, simple and cheap storage.  The cheapest is to use a doll box and just fit a bar for hanging but I wanted something just a little more so this is what I came up with.... You will need Foamcore board I used 5mm thick board 60cm x 84cm Foam 2 Foam glue You can use any glue but this works best I think Ruler Tape measure Pencil Something sharp to cut with (craft knife Cutting board I have a big board but a smaller one would work Metal ruler if possible (Helps with cutting a straight line)  The rods are the metal rods from the Integrity Doll stands. They are great as they are adjustable.  All of the above can be found on E.Bay or craft stores I'm giving you the sizes I use but you can make your units any size you wish. Measure 40cm longways mark and cut put other piece of b...

Prams/ Stroller or what ever you call it!... Painting Plastic

I have a little bit of a thing for 'babies' Barbie and co babies that is. I also love prams/buggies/strollers or whatever! For some time I had wanted a mini pram like you see so much in human size these days. Imagine my excitement when I spotted the new Skipper Babysitter Inc pram, it looked (almost) perfect. As soon as I spotted one on Amazon I had to get it AND it was not silly expensive. The pram's come in yellow with a white baby and pink with a black Baby. (Not my photo's) For some reason the pink pram is very hard to find in England, but I did find one on Amazon. The height was good too and worked well with the taller IT dolls. As you can see I painted mine  So next the painting thing The base parts come apart pretty easy but the top peace (bucket) can not be taken apart. I wanted to paint the top of the bucket but leave the base grey. All the parts I did NOT want painted I coated with a couple of coats of school PVA glue While that...
