Shopping Mall

-
Been MIA for such a long time! So where have I been and what have I been doing? Well after the floods in the winter when I had to remove EVERYTHING on the ground level it's tacken quite a while to sort it out and put it back.
The idea was to just put it back as it was but everyone knows that's just NOT how it works LOL
So there has been some 'tweaking' NO tweaking NOT twerking He-He (well there might have been a little twerking ....have you seen the small space I have between my shelves?)
So this is the re-vamped Shopping Mall, actually this is on the first floor not ground level I fiddled with this too. It's good to be able to see all the details before the dolls are added. Where are the dolls? OK, so once a year I have a DOLL CENSUS when I redress/count/ check names (every doll has their own name and photo file) and take new photo's. It takes about two/three weeks.

    Sue you are so cool it is ridiculous! I think I have ideas until I see your stuff and know I have to go back and redo things. Your stores are so realistic. I have a way of being to careful and restricted in my stores. Yours look realistic. I mean shouldn't you fill every space in the store if you want to make a profit? Thanks for sharing and being so inspiring! Say hi to the girls :-)

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
