The Building of... THE PRIORS ... a doll room

Life can be such a PAIN I have had soooo little time for me let alone my Dioramas. But Sophie started college on Monday and Amy this morning so now I have some time AT LAST! First though before I start about me and mine, this diorama site link was posted on facebook and I wanted to pass it along. It's OK no need to be on facebook to look it's on wordpress. It's called davidneat    http://davidneat.wordpress.com/ But now I think I will be able to come back to some much needed doll/diorama therapy? The doll room is still one BIG mess as I find myself working not only forwards but back and sideways too. After the floods earlier in the year when all the dioramas on the ground level had to be removed .... then returned and I ended up re-doing a lot of it I then decided to clean a few cars and find a HUGE damp patch (now fixed) and cars are now cleaned. I then decided to start back at the begging and fix all the stuff I worked on before I learnt that I was doing it all wro...

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.

Started with the Re-Refurbishments The ground floor of my doll room had to be packed away when I thought it might flood, lucky was I as it did not. BUT, I had made an awful mess and now I have started to redo the whole ground floor. Below are pictures of the shopping Mall.  First up is the Supermarket.  Looking out into the walkway ... across from the supermarket you can just glimpse the Bank/Post Office.  Plenty of food on the shelves    Next up the Bank/Post Office Above is a large Fashions store owned by Danni Edwards  As you can see it's a busy store every one is looking for the latest 'must haves'
