Just One More Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I have not been on the forum in ages. I had run out of room for building and have 12 finished houses and two unfinished. I started collecting dolls again for awhile. I miss the building and will have to just do the lighter weight Greenleaf houses if I add any more. I'm working on another Westville, one of my favorite houses. I have three Jeffersons and a Willow finished. I had all my houses l furnished but got two new kitties that will not leave the furniture alone so had to box it up. My other two kitties never bothered it. I may get some rigid plastic and make the houses enclosed in back. That's not as nice as just having them open though. Maybe when they get older they won't be so interested in the houses. It looks like there have been more changes on how you post and all. I never got used to the old way and am just awful on computers so hope I can figure it out. I have a lot of pictures in the gallery here from before. I never learned how to add any with the first big change in format ages ago. I'll just be reading a lot and looking at pictures of what everyone is doing. I have a few of the Real Good Toys houses that were fun to build but they are just too heavy for me now. I donated three to our church thrift store last year but kept all the furniture so won't have to buy a single thing for any lighter weight houses I do. I have a lot here to catch up on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheckMouse Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Welcome back, Pat. I wondered what happened to you! You know, you could always switch to making the 1:144 scale houses. They are very light and you can display them inside the larger houses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalesq Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Half scale is lighter and takes up less space too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just One More Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 I have a half scale Jefferson to put together. I built the Fairfield about five years ago and sold it but still have the furniture. I wish they would make the Fairfield in 1/12 scale. I love the floor plan. I have so much furniture, wallpaper and accessories for the 1/12 scale I'll just stay with them. The dolls I have collected take up too much room. The biggest ones are 23" My Twinns which are now no longer made. I also have a lot of American Girls. I should have just kept busy with my minis because they allow you to be so much more creative than dolls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Me too Pat! I love the Fairfield it would be awesome in 1:12 scale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Me three, although no way I'd build two of them at the same time, even had I the room to display them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just One More Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Thank you all for your welcome. I have two houses to finish before I can assemble my half scale Jefferson. I don't know if I'll like half scale as much as 1/12, mostly because I have boxes of furniture and accessories for the 1/12 and am so used to working with it. Won't have to buy anything new for quite awhile. I'll have to look at all your pictures to see what the half scales look like all furnished.

havanaholly Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I made furniture for my Fairfields. Eventually when DS#2 comes to visit I'll try to get him to take me some digital pictures I can load into my album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
