Time for an Update....>>>>>>

-
I asked my dad to help out with strengthening my shelving in the middle. Having left him to clear some room in HIS shed so he ha room to work I popped indoors to get something! Not a good move he was quicker than I thought and had started when I came back! I had spent an hour laying on the floor fixing this display .....
YEP! It's all over the floor again as dad had moved it..... WITH HIS FOOT!!!!!!!!!

 Anyway this is the other units once tided up!

 So what else have I been up to? Well, I'm having another major shelf tidy (along with the shelf strengthening) This means EVERY shelf need to be empted so dad can get to the shelf. I'm not re doing the houses I have already done or the hospital as I don't think I could cope with dismantling it all!!!! So when the room is finished (about three years) then I'll want to redecorate and I'll do it then!
I've also done a ton of redressing for winter.....OK, so Spring is in the air but I'm a little slow! I've put a lot of the dolls into the shopping Mall and the hospital is looking VERY busy! Pictures next week of all this.

    It looks very detailed Suwi, which is nice.
    I'd suggest that for setting up your shelving units (the displays that keep ending up on the floor) that you try using some blu-tack (in tiny pieces) or Mini Hold or similar museum type wax. It's a bit of a hassle to put a dab of (blu takc etc) on every piece, but let me tell you, it's well worth it when you accidentally knock a shelf ovr and everything (mostly) stays put!

    Hi Erica, I do have some museum wax some place? Just not sure WHERE???? LOL I had some wide double sided tape and I used that in the end... it works at the moment but might be a bit of a pain when I change the display?

      If I'm having trouble with things like that I look at magazines or try googling 'store windows' see what inspiration you can get from these?

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 board t

Painting Plastic

I've touch on this before but here I will go through the prose step by step... First up room temperatures. Even before you start if you are going to use spray paint then outside or a well ventilated room is a must. Not hot, not cold and not raining. Oh, and no wind...very important no wind if spraying outside... not an issue if working indoors. Remember the sprays do like to float about a bit and all surfaces need to be covered or use a spray box. This can be just an old cardboard box or something you make yourself. My table in the garden is just for spraying and is well away from the plants etc Another must is a mask, I do a lot so mines a bit fancy (I also have Asthma) but a basic mask from your local DIY would be fine  Spray paints are easy enough to find just look around your local DIY or craft store, there is also E.Bay and Amazon.  Start by cleaning what you want to paint then once dry I always use a primer, they come in three colours white, brown and
