Lesa inherited a collection of
miniaturized dollhouse furnishings most of which were hand-made/knitted/carved/sewn or otherwise crafted by her
Gramma Margaret. You can see a staircase, a couple of beds, a stack of rugs and some picture frames. They aren't being enjoyed in a box in the spare closet.
On the right of this shot is a picture of the dollhouse Lesa is building. You can also see the shutters, and the chimney awaiting installation.
Paint, parts, glue, tape and other construction materials.
There is an access wall to reach hands into the forward rooms on the 1st and 2
nd floor that was just installed. The clamps are holding things until the glue dries.
It's an 8 room house. There are two attic rooms on the 3rd floor. One is
kindof a "dormer" room. and then 3 rooms on the 1st floor and 3 on the second floor.
The inner divider walls aren't installed on the 1st and 2
nd floor yet but there will be a room on the left and then a front and rear room on the right. The front rooms will have access via that wall pictured before. You can see the clamps in the far corner.
Here's a front view. There will be porch rails on the top and bottom porches with decorative posts from the lower porch to the upper porch.
Another view.
She's trying to get it done by Nov 20
th for a cultural celebration on the occasion of the dedication of the new Stake Center described in an earlier post. More pics to follow.

What a fun project, Lisa! That is a lot of detail work.
ReplyDeleteLesa, I can't wait to see the finished design. What a great use of Grandpa Margaret's legacy. I think she is smiling when she sees her work come to something so wonderful. I love houses. I think they represent families and relationships and love and even the back-and-forth of trying to live together in harmony. Good for you. Your sisters will all want to see it. Me too.
