Paint and paper

So I've been a bit slack and this blog has not had anything added to it since my initial posts. There was a reason for this - that being my camera has died so I don't have any photos to share. However, Mum did point out that I could just convey what's been happening with some good old fashion words, which is what I will do.

In my last post I mentioned the next step would be making the house. Well this turned out to be tricker than I expected. Due to where we live, the fact we have no garage, the fact it is raining, and the fact I would need to invest in some pretty heavy duty tools to cut wood, I decided to use a little workaround. I purchased a four floor bookcase which turns out makes a perfect dolls house structure. The bookcase was only $15 and I was able to construct it in 15 minutes in my lounge - compared with the approximate cost of around $200 for all of the tools and wood that would be required to build the house, not to mention the fact I would need to wait a few more weeks to start working as I'd need to save my pennies. So long story short, I bought a bookcase about a month ago and when I got around to constructing it a few weeks later it was all ready for me to start decorating.
