Have an awesome government-mandated holiday, everyone, everywhere*. :)

Maybe, if you play your cards right, your (late) birthday present will have stuff to put IN the dollhouse.

"For my AUS/NZ readers, I hope it's a lovely sunny day with cool breezes."
It was, in fact, a hot and overly humid cloudy day where I was, but it hasn't been actually warm on Chrismtas day for years so we take what we can get in this respect :D My town recorded the hottest temp in NZ yesterday, with 32 celcius (90F) which is excessively warm for here as the average summer temp is 15 C (59F). So, there you go!

A dollshouse is one of my "one day" projects - they look like such good fun, and provide lots of ways to be creative. I'm sure you'll have fun with this new one!

Natch, I'll be keeping everyone up to date. :) It's just the shell, so I get to do up the outside any way I want. I'm thinking grey stone and a slate roof.

Your Payre of Bodyes Pattern

You have mentioned that you have done a class about your Bodyes and I was wondering (hoping, yearning) how far you have come with this? Because several people have been wanting to make a new kit for this year, and we are doing a "Year in the life of 1565" We are building from the skin out so Jan/Feb is Shirtes and Smocks. Mar/Apr is Foundation so I was hoping we could be your well guinea pigs and beta testers.

So have you been thinking about this and more to the point could you help us out? With some wisdom.

Re: Your Payre of Bodyes Pattern

Actually, I made the pattern years ago, and sold it locally, but never went ahead and sold it on line because I sell through Reconstructing History, and they already have a bodies pattern that's very very similar to mine. Mine comes in small, medium, large and extra large, with room for expansion.

So, if you want copies, let me know, but they're fully beta tested and lots of people have used them. :) Mine are appropriate for 1560-1600. People seem to like them okay, but like I said, I'm selling through a company that already does that pattern, so the copies I have left are sitting idle in a box in my studio.
