My TINIEST Needlework Projects - My Dream Dollhouse
Here is a teaser to pique your interest in my magnificent dollhouse, made by my dad, whose a tiny oil portrait hangs over the mantle in the dining room.
Below is a link to the pictures of my dollhouse. The tiny projects are a sampler and the very tiny dining room chair seats, cross-stitched to match the green wallpaper with roses on it. I used the smallest possible Aida.
My dad made the house for me (from plans, not a kit) over three years, beginning in 1983. He made most of the furnishings, too. He would buy a kit and then use it as a template. That way I have an oak bedroom, too. The house has two sides: the front with entry and 3 storey stairs, formal living and dining rooms, bedroom and family room; the back has a large kitchen, music room, library, oak bedroom, bath and project room. The house was a labor of love.

Sorry, but I'm not a member of Kodakshare and I can't see these pictures. I saw no way to sign up.
Hey, what's up, Luciluna. Thanks for the comment. Those of us who actually care about grammar are few, but we are strong! Anyhow, like the blog. Keep doing your singing thing. Do you you sing opera? Belt out arias? That would be cool. I went to an opera once, Aida, at the Met. You ever been to the Met/ NYC? It's cool stuff.
Be well...

I love your dollhouse! It is beautiful. And even more special that your dad made it and a lot of the furniture. I'm jealous...
