DanaFree Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I've just figured out how to reduce my iPhone photos so I can post here (I attach them to an email and then, before it sends, it asks me what size I want my attachments to be; I select "small." Save them to a new folder to post.) Please bear with me on my retro-posting. Here are some pix of the vintage G.E.L. farmhouse kit "Amanda" that I built for our church's past Christmas faire. I styled it as a Mary Engelbreit house, since I had a bunch of her stationary and scrapbook paper in my stash. (I think this was my fifth DH build.) I love to find vintage kits on ebay, craigslist, garage sales, etc and give them a life out from under the bed or closet they'd been waiting in. I especially like to fill the little houses with things from somone's mother's stash or from a fellow mini-thusiast who's retiring. That's how nostalgic I am: I want to keep the dream alive for other crafters. After all, I've wanted to get into this hobby for years and years, but the more-than-full-time demands of work and family kept me from it. Now that I'm semi-retired I need to get to all the dollhouse projects calling to me from under my bed and on my garage shelves. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Very nice. I really like the kitchen. Is it a TOMY set?. You can start an album, just click on the create button at the top of the page to the left of your picture. During that process, you can reorient your pictures.

DanaFree Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Thanks for the tip! I think the kitchen is Melissa and Doug. I just used paint and decoupage to add interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I give the phone to email downsize instructions all the time because it works really well. I think you are the first and only person to confirm that it works for someone other than me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I like what you did with the house. Fun and whimsical! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaFree Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Thanks! It's tricky to decide on a room plan and to know how child-friendly (i.e. sturdy) things need to be when building a house for an auction. The house was bought by a grandmother for her 8- and 10-year-old grandkids. I wonder how well a house would go if I made it "not for < age 14"?

But at least you wouldn't have to see it being destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
