1/16 cottage

Home | my reborn baby | my mums shop | the wood cutters | the connaught | the barn | 1/16 cottage | the cottsmore | my first house | my baby

ok, so that 1/16 house. well it started life as a toy. a crafts man made it and me, atabout4/5 played with it. since then, it bacom toaly recked and alll the furnitire gone. it lived in the shed for 12 years. then i felt sorry for it and pulled it out. here it is now.

this was it when i pulled it out the shed. i have done loads to it since those and i am very pleased with the out come. the first thing i did was to pull off the door, windows and paper. i then smoother it down and pulled out all the intera deco. the tiles were a night mear. one of them had to dug out the wood, leaving me with a hole i had to fill in.
after a while, well about 2 days i decieded that this house should be victorian like the rest. well that was it. a larg rock hit the garage and it come off. making a nice garden. i have put grass on that bit. after it was all paperd, it was onto the furnictue. now if you have ever met me, you will understand my DIY skills, or lack of. so buying it really was my only option. i looked about and found that it really had not scale. but was closer to 1/16 then any thing else.
then i thought about a cottage. this would give the stuff inside a reason to look a little larger then normal. so off to devenports i went. ill post a pic when the filling has arrived as im running low on disk space. on my free web site lol.
 
 
so far in this house i have  a person who is female. she is ment to be a 1/12 child but her hair and dress style make her look ok as a 1/16 mother. i also have a baby in the nursery up stairs. i hope to get a toddler and a farther soon as well.
 
well i have only just started this but i have choosen the mums name as cathrine and the baby as violet. the toddler will more then likely me a boy, probably a miles and the dad can be some thing like patric.
 
every single doll in every house is either named after some one i know, either real or tv/book, the name the doll was given in the shop or a name i just like. i have tryed, with the exception of kirk, to use old names.
