MINIATURE KNITTING:

I have recently started knitted some "combinations" for a 1/12th." scale male doll.  I am knitting it with sewing thread.  At the moment I am nearly at the top of one leg, and it has taken a total of ten and a half hours to knit, so far.  I will finish it eventually, although I really enjoy doing miniature knitting, so I don't mind how long it takes to knit it!

In approximately 1995 I decided to try making some dolls house furniture.  This was the result! 

You can see  more furniture on my NEW PAGE - "MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT DOLLS HOUSE FURNITURE!".  

To view the page, just click onto it on the top, right hand side of this page.  You will also be able to see the rest of the furniture, and the dolls house which it is now in.

SPAIN (Catalan doll), and a miniature greenhouse

Here is a pretty little doll from the Catalonia region of Spain, Catalonia being an autonomous region of Northern Spain.  You can see pictures of her, and also information about the Catalonia region on the website.

I am also listing a 1/12th." scale dolls house greenhouse.  This is not on the website but information about it is given below.

GREENHOUSE:

This little greenhouse was made for me by my late husband, in approximately 2000.  It was made to go with my dolls house - (No. 2 - page title at the top of the HOME page on the Blog).

It was made with 1/12th." scale real bricks, with a wooden frame and perspex windows.

I made all the plants, hanging basket and slatted top etc. inside.  I used a dolls house chimney pot for the plant by the door.

SIDE VIEW (open)

The tiles on the ground have been cut out of wood and papered with flecked paper.  I made the seed boxes with wood.
