Little by little, the dollhouse is transforming.

This past fortnight I have been focusing on the dollhouse’s exterior door and windows. I’ve fitted windows with craft sticks and acetate sheets and I’ve done up the front door.

I extend a big heartfelt thank you for all of your support. I appreciate your likes, comments and subscriptions. I feel blessed to be able to share what I love doing with you all. What are you working on? I’d love you to share.
