Miniture Doll House.

Another passion of mine. But can't afford it to keep up the hobby of collecting. This doll house was a bargain and worth three times at least for what I paid for it. Even the doll houses at Hobby Lobby in a box and still need to be put together and painted, wall papered, carpeted and to be furnished cost more then this one did already set up. I sold a horse saddle to buy it and my boss did not give me a break on it, and he made me promise I would not sell it. And I made that promise about 8 years ago.
When I have help turning it around I will get a pix of the front and post.
Enjoy the pix of it.

Miniture Doll House

This gorgeous doll house was built in 1979 and at one time it had lights that really worked. I was able to purchase it in full from my (then) boss after he had bid on it at a silent auction at his church. I need to go through it and DUST it, but later. The front of the house is facing the wall and I did not get a pix of it. The house is very large on sits on a large frame that has astro turf for a yard. It also has two attic rooms that have extra furniture in them. I did remodel the babies room, it looked before like a servant's room. And I did buy a new stove for the kitchen and a few extras laying around. But 99% came with the house when I got it.

The above was changed when built, it was th e attic adn the builder made it into a attic room and I made the attic room a sewing room.

This is the nursery or baby's room that I did remodel. I put new wallpaper on the walls, added new carpet and bought the furniture new. Cute, Huh!!

This is the master bedroom. I did crochet a doily that covers the bedspread. I did add "new" curtains to the windows, the others were rather yellow and stiff.

The bathroom is upstairs in the middle of the house.

We took our day off and went to the island of Galveston today. It is an island south of Houston on the Gulf of Mexico.
The day was cloudy, but hot. We drove to Moody Gardens, but having the dogs with us we could not get out of SUV. So it was just all sightseeing from inside the truck. We stopped for foot long chili dogs and 'tator tots. at Sonic Drive In.

This is driving towards the busy side of the tourist area. People were swimming, fishing and trying to surf.

We took the ferry to Boliver Island.... absolutely NOTHING there. The ferry ride going was bad, we were stuck between the wall and an 18 wheeler. My side mirror was no more than 2 inches away from the truck.

And what more can I say. It is our Texas Flag.

More Odds and Ends

My Darling Hubby, Garner and the Bug, also known as Bugsy. This was taken at the deer lease. She is ALL his daughter since the day we brought her home.

This is (again) Garner adn Bugsy at the Vet's office, getting her shots.

This is Chili, a Paso Fino, one of 5 horses we had in Puerto Rico. She was ridden by Brent in playdays. I rode her only on trail rides away from the base. She was a bit much to handle.

My home made dolls

These are dolls I made a few years ago. I love baby dolls. The two on the right are twins Colton and Bly. He is sleeping.

I also do Barbie make overs. I have about 25 naked Barbies that need to have clothes made for them. This one my son-in-law brought me a yard of this gorgeous brocade from Japan and it just had to be made for this doll.

This doll was for a contest, and is a mermaid, if you can't tell. She is kind of lumpy looking here.

I call this one my Texas Redhead girlfriend. Her face is embroidered
