I do hope you will enjoy wandering around my site.
Thank you for your interest in my site.
I hope you will take the time to have a look at what I have been making.
Here you can see some of the miniatures that I made whilst living in Crete.
There are examples of both 1/12th scale and 1/144th scale.
ROSE COTTAGE is a 1/12th scale house
which I was buying in fortnightly parts.
It is produced by De Agostini. The magazine is very prettily illustrated, which is fortunate because I find it difficult to read the Greek text.
I was building this mainly to use as a showcase for the wall and floor coverings which I will be making using the methods described in my book
(please see above), but unfortunately had to leave it in Crete.
JANS BOOK is a downloadable book describing how to make special effects for your dolls house or shop using Microsoft Word and a colour printer.
Details of how to buy this, plus reviews and examples of what can be made from it, are given on this site.
BOBBIN LACE MAKING used to be my main hobby, in fact more a way of life.
On these pages I show a piece of lace which I made for
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother,
as well as examples of miniature lace which I have made more recently.
I am also running a free three-part course, Bobbin Lacemaking for Beginners.

THE ANCHOR is a 1/12th scale English public house,
with, of course, a nautical theme.
It contains a bar room; a "resident tart's" room;
The Mystical Mahlig - Your Future Foretold;
a games room; and a beer garden on the roof.
Featured in the July 2004 issue of The Dolls' House Magazine

ANDERSON'S EMPORIUM
The store is now finished.
It was featured in the November 2006 issue of The Dolls' House Magazine,
and has been donated to
St. Michael's Hospice, St. Leonards on Sea, East Sussex,
where it is on display in the entrance hall.
You will have noticed that I like to fill my scenes with resin figures.
Unfortunately it isn't always possible to buy them in exactly the poses you need, and so I started buying the nearest ones I could, and adapting them to suit my purposes.
Here you can read the article I wrote on the subject for The Dolls House Magazine, and follow the link from there to more examples of what can be done with these delightful little figures.

WEYBOURNE - a 1/12th scale replica, which I am building from scratch, of the 1930s house where I was born, set on Coronation Day 1953.
I'm also trying to build as much of the furniture and fittings as I can.
And please, don't think of this as a "doll's house". Thank you.

WILLIAM PEGG, F.R.P.S - a very loosely 1920/30s dispensing chemist, set in a Sid Cooke shop.
Just a few photographs to show you how this project progressed.
UPDATED
I've recently started collecting antique bobbins, which of course I use on my pillow. My favourite ones can be seen here.
