"The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: That a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists."

First Glimpses

Doesn't Molly look pleased? She's certainly been waiting long enough for work to begin on her house! I will have to help her arrange some new clothing by the time we're done though...she's already gotten paperclay on her dress!


The paperclay is still a little wet...but she wanted to demonstrate that the fireplace was plenty tall for stepping into and travelling with floo powder!


And although the area around the stove is nowhere near ready for showing it does offer the best view of the staircase - that wonderfully twisty staircase - as it's coming together.

I'm really happy with the flagstones too...also paperclay. There are walls, but I've taken them off for this particular work.
More soon!

Cate :)

I'm so glad you're working on this! This is going to be such a fun dollhouse! Molly looks quite pleased so far :) This is a 1/2 scale house, isn't it? Exciting!!!!! The floors look incredible!

Thanks Kim! I'm so glad too...I can't tell you how happy I am working on it!
It is a half scale house - which is a first for me - but it feels much bigger than 1/4 scale! :D
One of the things I'm loving is building every part; the windows, the pipes and so forth! Magic details! I wish I had more I could show already...but soon! :D
