I think my boss was a little miffed that I made a sort-of replica of the vinyl shop nearby, but didn't make a replica of our shop. I told him it's only because I would need a fancy 3D printer to be able to do that. So I made him a mancave instead.

I knew I wanted to go for a 70s theme. I've always made contemporary styles, so this was really going out of my comfort zone, but I was relishing the challenge!

I had an idea for a new miniature. I made this as a gift for the vinyl shop near where I used to work.

Making the shelving was the hardest part.

I bought two booknook kits. I'd never heard of them until my sister called my niece's pegbox house a booknook. So I bought a couple and made one of them for her. I don't know who to give the second one to, but I do know I want to customise it a lot more.

I didn't like the original pink design for this house, so I used a scrap of handmade paper to change it to an ivory colour.

I made a little dollshouse for my niece out of a box of pegs. I actually made this last November.

Having a bit of trouble deciding on the layout. Also, that hot pink does NOT match!

I made this last winter as a gift for someone, but they gave it back. I don't really know what to do with it. It was very personalised, so it would look a bit weird giving it to anyone else.

This is the first mini dollshouse kit I have lit up myself! I had to learn to solder, and it did take me quite a while to figure it out. And while I'm still quite a messy solderer, I can get it good enough to work! So yay me! I know I've been very lazy keeping up with this blog since I got Mastodon and I'm disappointed in myself! I mean I'm paying for this, I should make the most of it! Anyway, here is the gameroom:

I finally bought myself a hot glue gun and a couple of months later, I actually used it! My Teal Times sofa had come undone. I'd been using that awful Hobbycraft double sided tape at the time; I didn't buy the UHU Power until I was about halfway through that project. Anyway, that tape was absolute pants. The adhesive deteriorated after a couple of years and discoloured. According to customer services, it wasn't even acid free. It had already ruined several scrapbook pages, and now had ruined my dollshouses too. So I had taken apart that sofa over a year ago now, and just couldn't be bothered to put it back together.

Anyway, now being in possession of a glue gun, I thought I'd see how that would go. While I was at it, I decided I'd see if I couldn't do something about my first kit. I only did the most minor of customisation for that one. I thought I may as well revisit it, since I was increasingly hating the decor.
