Welcome to my life . . . .

This is a blog about my passion: dollhouses and miniatures. This particular blog was started to follow my miniature dream: to create a Victorian Mansion. But work on my Mansion is slow. Very slow. Sloth slow. Ice Age glacier movement slow. Why? Because I am easily distracted by other personal miniature projects (I have 50+ roomboxes and 15 dollhouses in various stages of incompletion) and because I work for a miniature shop and am often up to my elbows in miniature projects that aren't mine! So, I thought, some artists work in a particular medium (woods, watercolors, clay, oils, etc.), I work in progress . . . .

Mansion growing by leaps and bounds...

Not a lot of "explanation" this time: I'll let the picture speak for itself.  Addition is together and final top floor is dry fitted!  Have some adjustments to make (addition and main house don't match up exactly) but overall I'm thrilled!
Time to start decorating the exterior!!!!

    Hi, Lori - The mansion looks huge! I didn't expect it to be so big - that top floor makes such a difference. I'm looking forward to watching your progress on the exterior.

      Yeah, I don't think my family expected it to be so big either! LOL In truth, it's still too small: nursery is crammed full and poor Nanny only gets a built-in bed in the corner instead of her own room...but I figure the family is aware of the fact that they are outgrowing their space and is working with an architect to expand the house over the outdoor patio (space on the left) -- but the construction for that can't start until the family leaves for their European tour in the summer :) For now they have to live in cramped quarters. LOL

      Trisha - I can't hide this from my family on the other side of the dining room table any more! LOL
