Dollhouse Delights

                                                            Here's the finished, remodeled china cabinet!

During the long, snowy, winter days, there's never a loss of chores to do at home. 

Most are necessary but kind of boring, right?

Well, one way to handle the unpleasant tasks is to reward one's self with doing something fun.

For me, it's dipping into my dollhouse hobby.

Like the big house, there's always something to do, fix, or add to the dollhouses around here.

Recently, renovation of a china cabinet in rough shape was the reward for completing some chores.

The shelves had all turned yellow with age and panels were even missing "glass" entirely.

As miniaturists know, we stash all kinds of stuff in bags, throughout every room in  the house.  

The bag shown below contains bits and pieces of nice plastic that can double as glass for a "someday" project. 

 That day finally came.  I cut around the plastic that was placed beneath the yellowed pieces. 

 Some furniture polish also helped shine the finish of the unit that has very pretty curvy styled legs.

 It's done and now waiting for bitty knick knack items but that will be a project for another day.

WHAT HOBBY DO YOU WORK ON THAT GIVES YOU JOY?
