Hi! My name is Rebecca and I'm new to the Greenhouse forum/miniatures/dollhouse community I am a stay at home mom (SAHM) of two and part time university student (in my 6th year, who knows if I will ever finish now that this is my new hobby). I stumbled across the world of miniatures recently on Pinterest and was in awe at what some people have the ability to create on such a small scale. I dreamt of the day that I could buy something like that for my daughter (who is 2.5 right now), because I remember longing for one like it myself as a young girl. Then I realized....I don't have to wait! I can make one for myself! LOL I searched around for an appropriate kit and I decided to go with the Orchid. In the meantime, while I was waiting for my kit to arrive, I scoured the internet for hours looking for different options on how to furnish my house. After looking for a while, I thought to myself that I could actually probably make a lot of it too! So I went and got some balsa wood and polymer clay. My partner (DP) probably thought I was crazy at this point. When we first got together, he was aware I had hobbies, at the time it was mostly painting, something he could probably handle. Then it was making baby hairclips....then felt toys, then knitting (again) and sewing... LOL. All of these new hobbies (as I'm sure many of you know all to well) bring many new things into the house, and we actually live in a tiny 2 bedroom basement apartment. So when I mentioned "dollhouse" and "miniatures" to him I'm surprised he didn't faint! [since starting this hobby btw, I have purged all other useless craft supplies that cannot be used for something mini ] Anyways, I'm really looking forward to being a part of this community! I cannot wait to hear/see about some of the other projects people have, and just share excitement about all things small in general! Reading through the fourm everyone seems really nice! and I'm also liking the emoicons . I'll be blogging my whole adventure at my blog here if you want to stop by and offer any advice for someone who is just starting up. Cant wait to meet everyone!
