Landscaping my Pickett Hill quarter scale house has been challenging but fun. I learned to make many...many hydrangeas and hollyhocks. I have also displayed several of my tiny dolls that I purchased from Suzanne and Andrews Miniatures. This is a picture of the front porch. The bird feeder is from Mini Gems, Barbara Meyer. See the tiny bird on it too. I had to have a garden gnome. It is from Mini Gems too. A view of the portico. Through the garden arbor. Working in quarter scale is a challenge. Maybe that is what I love so much about it. The interior of the house is almost finished. I still have the bathroom fixtures to add. Have a wonderful day! Donna

This is the beautiful Pickett Hill house that I have spent the last 2 years putting together. This fabulous kit is designed in quarter scale by Suzanne and Andrew, in collaboration with the amazing Robin Betterley, whose work I adore. I joined the Lydia Pickett Kit of the Month club run by Judith Dowden at http://www.insomesmallway.co.uk/, and have been recieving the furniture kits on a monthly basis. Judith, I must add, is the most amazing person, incredibly helpful and a wealth of knowledge. I changed the exterior of the house slightly - instead of the green trim and roof, I went for a blue, and whitewashed the interior floorboards. The above photo's show the layout of the rooms, and below are some closeups od Robin Betterleys beautiful furniture. This is the pretty dinig room........ My all time favourite, the Pie Kitchen....... and just for fun....... This is the 12th scale dressing table, next to the House, with a quarter scale dresser.. just to show scale!!!!

I need to win the lottery so that I can give up work and have time for all my hobbies. This week I've spent a lot of time learning to use my new quilt frame, so I haven't done very much dollshousing, but I did put together a couple of kits. First though, a couple of pictures I forgot to include last week. I had previously made the Miss Lydia Pickett wallhanging shelf, and the hall table, before starting to build the house, and finally they have a home. The shelf likely looks a bit odd straddling two different wallpapers but it doesn't fit in anywhere else in the house. I didn't want to put it in the living room as I like the wallpaper in there so much that it seems a shame to cover any of it up. I like this view looking in through the bay window. Miss Lydia Pickett Day Bed kit I had already made one of these over a year ago, before I started the house build, but I bought another one at Miniatura to be a second seat for the living room. This is the kit: laser cut wood with lasered labels next to the parts, instructions, b&w photos of assembly, and a packet of printed fabric and stuffing for making the cushions. However, the instruction sheet in my 1/2" scale kit was actually the instruction sheet for the 1/4" kit, which doesn't have the same parts. I don't know if I am just incredibly unlucky, or if there are some quality control issues with these kits. I know before when I was building the kits (prior to the housebuild), I got a kit with no photo sheet and had to go back to Judith to ask her to post me a replacement. Then I got the kit of two Flutterby chairs that only had wooden parts for one chair, and now a wrong instruction sheet. By looking at the pictures, and the Day Bed I had built previously, I was still able to put the kit together, but it was a bit fiddly as it wasn't clear what order to apply the leg pieces with the notches in them. I started out by gluing in the seat as per the 1/4" instructions, but I think maybe I should have glued on the back leg trims first. I had to slide them in afterwards, and ended up blocking one set of notches for the side pieces by accident. Also, the 1/4" instructions don't mention the back trim pieces at all, so I had to puzzle out where two of those went. Anyway, I got there in the end. Petite Properties 1/24th Glazed Tall Cupboard This is another one of the very reasonably priced kits from Petite Properties, laser cut from cardboard. I'm going to put it up on the mezzanine beside the grand piano. They go together incredibly easily. The pieces are very accurately cut, and the card grabs the tacky glue for an almost instant join. It was just a case of gluing in the five shelves, folding up the sides and gluing them to the sides of the shelves, and then gluing on the top and bottom.

If you were to pass me on the street, you probably wouldn't even look twice. I'm that normal. I'm just like you, only wealthier. I have it all. The kids, the family, the dog, a house on the hill. Hell-I'm so cliche, I even have a white picket fence. I guess you could say that I've dotted my I's and crossed my T's. But what I also have-what no one sees in yoga, or at Nieman Marcus, or during the dreadful Ladies Who Lunch charity events I attend (because only God knows why), and perhaps most importantly, in the school pick up line-are secrets. Deep, dark, deadly secrets. We all keep secrets, don't we? We all have thoughts in our heads, things we do, things about us that if people knew, they'd be shocked...right? Well, what if one day we just decided to let the cat out of the bag, so to speak. What if we decided to let the whole world in on our dirty little secrets? And what if along the way, as we were spilling those secrets, we realized that things aren't always what they seem and with that knowledge, it changed the whole story? In this book, I'm laying it all out there. The unraveling of my life. My coming undone. What one might've seen had they been paying attention. What I've found in life is people often believe lies before they'll believe the truth. Well, here it is, in a nutshell.

Folkways Records, a record label known for its commitment to preserving and promoting folk music and cultural heritage, released an album titled "The Songs of Joe Hill" in 1955. The album is a collection of songs written by labor activist and songwriter Joe Hill. Joe Hill was born in Sweden in 1879 and immigrated to the United States in 1902. He became involved in the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), also known as the Wobblies, and used his talent for songwriting to bring attention to the struggles of working-class people and advocate for their rights. Hill's songs were often performed at rallies, picket lines, and other labor events. "The Songs of Joe Hill" features recordings of some of Hill's most famous songs, including "The Preacher and the Slave" (also known as "Pie in the Sky"), "Casey Jones - the Union Scab," and "There is Power in a Union." These songs are characterized by their catchy melodies and powerful lyrics that address issues such as worker exploitation, inequality, and the need for solidarity. The album, produced by Moses Asch, founder of Folkways Records, aims to preserve and disseminate Hill's musical legacy. It showcases the enduring relevance of Hill's songs, which continue to inspire social justice movements and resonate with audiences today. "The Songs of Joe Hill" serves as a testament to the power of music as a tool for social change and a celebration of Hill's contributions to the labor movement. Folkways Records' dedication to making these songs available to a wider audience highlights their ongoing commitment to documenting and sharing important voices and stories from the American folk tradition. The album is a valuable resource for those interested in the intersection of music, activism, and labor history.

The Fort House was located at the base of Idjao Hill at the south end of Masset. Note how the frontal pole is not only not attached to the frame of the house, but has been separated by a picket fence.
