NellBell Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Just wanted to say HI and I am joining the dollhouse world . I am making dollhouse for the first time except when I look back to my childhood I made lots of dollhouse out of boxes for Barbie. I'm not sure exactly what made me start but I think it's because I want to decorate them. I have now learned I love making the houses too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Welcome Nell, Love your name, it was my grandmother's, and she was the best woman I have ever known. I loved my Barbies too! I wish I had kept them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beulah Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Welcome Nell Marie. I only had one real Barbie and Ken, and I do have them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Welcome to the little family, Nell Marie. Barbie wasn't around when I was a child; I began acquiring them when I was in my 50s. Will you build for Barbies, or smaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Miniature Madness Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Welcome Nell! All my friends had the cool Barbie stuff, but "we was po" so I also had to get real creative with housing, clothing and accessories. I am grateful for that now, 'cause it comes in real handy with dollhousing! Be sure to share your photos with us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Nell, you now have made enough posts to make albums in the galleries here. Which houses have you built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgwyn Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Welcome, Nell. I did keep my barbies (or my mother kept them for me). I remember making houses out of our furniture and making little accessories to go with them. I once made a TV out of a tiny milk dud box with a cartoon taped to the front. I guess that is why I like dollhouses now, brings back fond memories of childhood. Also, I never had a real dollhouse then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if one gets enjoyment out of it and slowly build up the supplies and tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
