My real life favorite pieces of furniture
replicated in 1:12 scale. I made them the way I wished they looked in real life.
Also many everyday items of things in my house that I use all the time...like the cross stitch cushion that's on my real life rocking chair.....my Da Vinci Accordion and case, it doesn't make music but the bellows really work,
real leather shoulder straps with working buckles and leather wrist strap and working snaps used to keep the bellows locked..
The telescope and tripod are based on the first telescope I had...the tripod legs are adjustable..the telescope is just like the real thing...it angles up and down and rotates 360 degrees....oh and of course it has real glass lenses, the eye pieces can move in or out for better focus and the spotting scope works too!

For some reason people keep giving me trashed Barbie dolls and other types of dolls they run across while dumpster diving or randomly finding them.
They are always dirty, naked and with horribly abused hair.   I'm not into dolls at all....but I do love restoring beat up things so I've added this to my list of hobbies.   I have about 50 dolls so far, so I'm just getting started.....

Download and print, use card stock for most things that need to be sturdy...make sure your hands are clean, score all the folding edges before cutting the pattern out, use a ruler to keep lines straight, and scissors with good sharp pointed tips.....tacky glue works best.   After its put together  spray it with a clear coat or paint a coat of clear polyurethane (water based) all over it.
Most of these I made myself using Windows Paint and images I found online....Some are made by other people like myself that just want to share with people......so feel free to download and do whatever you want with the images :O)

Hubby came home with it....The thing is hugh on the outside and tiny on the inside...I have a few things to say about it,  but  Ill just say that  it wasn't designed for a child to play with  that's for sure.
I tore out the ugly staircase, and all the archways in order to create more "living space".   The bathroom/bedroom wall design must have been an after thought when someone realized that it was impossible for an adult to see down the other end of the bedroom, so they pushed it back a tiny bit for a child sized head to fit in there.   Adult or child,  doesn't matter when it comes to using your hand in that space....there is only room for one hand, your right hand only. 
Anyway the house is impressive to look at from the outside......5 bay windows is a bit much.
The house came with the kit box full of remaining pieces and the Instructions to build it.
I scanned the instructions and uploaded them in case someone might be looking for them.
I also still have the pages showing all the pieces and I will be happy
to scan them and add them to this album if someone needs them...
Just let me know if you do.  ;o)

A variety of wallpapers and boarders I made to scale. Also a TV, Microwave, DVD player and Dollhouse kit boxes.

This is the place I made to put all the tiny things I love to make.

My second dollhouse made from the scraps from my bashed McKinley, left over things I bought and didnt use for my McKinley, strong cardboard, alot of glue and Contemplation!
I'm determined not to spend a penny on this house...except for 1 bottle of carpenters glue.
The pics are of the early stage when I finally decided on the design of the house, which took me a couple of months.

A friend gave me these pieces of furniture.
They are very well made..although the legs are missing on a couple of the pieces and some of the rungs as well.
I looked for a makers mark but didnt find anything..that I could see anyway.
Does anyone recognize these? Id like to know who made them and how old they are.
Thanks

These are the original instructions that came with the kit. You got one large sheet with the instructions and one large sheet with the schematic drawings.
The sheets where too big for my scanner so I had to cut them in half.
I added symbols on each piece so all you have to do is match the symbols to know which half goes where.

Ive uploaded instructions for The Washington and The McKinley. They are in their own individual albums.
