In honour of Friday fast approaching - and as we all know Friday is the day that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows P1 comes out on DVD -and you can well imagine what I will be doing Friday night! And Saturday....and Sunday.... :)
This first photo is a great little project I'm working on - a chicken dresser! It still wants the top bit for storing plates and other traditional kitchen bits but the bottom is for keeping chickens in during the winter, when brooding or if a fox is giving them grief outside. Isn't it wonderfully Weasley?
The project was in a Dollshouse World and Miniature Scene projects book (very difficult for me to find here but my favourite mini publication by far!) that I borrowed from my friend. The funny thing was that the measurements were all wrong! I thought they looked a bit big at first glance but cutting out the first 2 pieces removed all doubt! They published the measurements of the 1/12th version not the 1/24 one! The artist makes both sizes. Easy to fix mind...just divide by two! I will continue to take liberties with the design too by changing the top a bit. I just love it!
I haven't gotten back to the pipes but the area around the sink has developed a bit.
I've actually been doing quite a bit of work on the actual building but it's difficult to photograph interestingly. This shows a little of the main floor's wall, those large iconic windows on the sides of the main floor and the staircase joining the first floor; which is home to Ginny and Bill's bedrooms. The staircase winds up to the second floor which is Percy's and the twins' bedrooms. There's four more floors to come! I'm using the UK's way of speaking about floors...the main floor is the one on the ground, while the first floor is upstairs and so on... :) I figure it's only right. Hope to be able to show you more soon!

So interesting to see how you are building it all bit by bit.
Floors in the UK are still named differently to everyone else which causes us to be confused when we go abroad and others to be confused when they come here.
We have the basement, the ground floor, then numbered floors then the attic or the loft if the roof space is without rooms.
I have noticed that some modern buildings are showing the ground floor as 1 in lifts which will cause even more confusion!!
In the picture it looks giant (then I am reminding myself of the scale constantly, LOL!) - it is going to be amazing when it is done!
Side note - did you catch dancing w/ the stars? One of the couples did a Harry Potter inspired dance...
Thank you Janice and Kim! Janice, as I've been building up I like to think that this is the way the Weasley's probably did it too - as their family grew. ;)
Kim, it is up to 3 feet now! I'm so glad I decided to do it in 24th scale otherwise it'd be over 6ft and that would be just silly in my little house! :D
I didn't see the dance no, darn it!
oh Cate- it's incredible!!!! I love the chicken dresser!! I love Dollshouse World and Miniature Scene too and it's difficult for me to find too :( I think it's the best mini magazine I've seen. I love the little door on the cabinet- how sweet!!! I'm always amazed by the size when I see Molly standing by real life things like the glue bottle :) I missed the movie in the theatres so I am soooooooo counting the minutes until I can buy the dvd. Told my hubby we had to go to the store to buy it in the morning before we could even go to work!
Thank you so much Kim! One of these days I may have to ask for a subscription to this magazine - for a couple of gifts! It costs a fair bit to cross the pond doesn't it? :)
I have to tell you how much I love this scale! It is so small - but not TOO small! :D
