tenderfoot_timberwolf Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hi everyone! I'm so glad to be here. My name is Jessica and I'm 27. I have always loved miniatures and dollhouses since I was a little girl. Last year my husband agreed to help me with a dollhouse project and we just haven't really gotten anything started yet, so we'll be purchasing an Arthur or an Orchid in the next month or so to start. I had to register an account after I went through an entire album of someone modding an Orchid. I don't know exactly what I'll do with it yet, but I've been an avid crafter my whole life and I am SO excited to finally have my own dollhouse project! I'm not working currently due to being a full time student and expecting our first child in June, so I have my fingers crossed that after we purchase the startup supplies, I'll be able to keep myself busy DIYing a lot of the necessities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Welcome to the little family, Jessica. If this is your first baby I guess you'll have a full-time live-in nanny & maid if you're going to have time to build a dollhouse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Welcome Jessica... I'm partial to the Arthur myself. I always look at this bloggers site and think it's so lovely. https://miniatyrmama.blogspot.com.au/search?q=arthur Don't forget to use google translate... the site is from Sweden!

I grew up in NW IOWA Not meaning to hijack this thread, but I couldn't resist asking whereabouts in NW Iowa. My grandparents (both sets) lived in Estherville, and I spent a good chunk of every summer at the lakes (I as born in Cedar Rapids but grew up in SW Minnesota).

L Swearengin Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I've done 3 "normal" Arthurs, and am in the process of bashing 2 together. The 3 were given away to family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
