All set for Kensington DollsHouse Festival Christmas Show

Good morning everyone,

How are you all? Today I am posting from London.  I am very excited for tomorrow's Kensington Dolls House Festival Christmas Show where I will be launching my Book "Designing and Decorating a Period Dolls' House'. There is so much to prepare and do and that will be done tonight.




I am very proud to say that you will find me right a the entrance. I will have the first table so you will definitely get to see me.



During the book launch I will be book signing and with every copy of the book a limited edition Miniature will be given. It will make a lovely Christmas gift for Dollshouse lovers.  For those who are interested the number of books is limited so you can reserve a copy by sending me an email to myminiatureworld.mt@gmail.com and can be picked up to the Show. 


Apart from the book I have been making a few new Christmas miniatures that will also be available during the festival. Here are a few photos.












These are just a few of the miniatures.that will be available as there are many more.

Makes sure to pass by and say hello. It will be lovely to meet and get to know you.

This is all for today. Make sure to keep tuned for the latest news and updates.

See you soon and take care.

Dolls House Nederland Magazine - DHN Show Party in Arnhem!

 Hello everyone,

I hope you are well. Just a quick post! I can't believe that it has been almost two months since the first launch of my book 'Designing and Decorating a Period Dolls House' at the Dolls House Nederland Show in Arnhem. Time does fly quickly.

On the latest issue of the Dolls House Nederland Magazine there was an article and several pictures of the show. It brings so many sweet memories.



Here is the translation from Dutch to English. Obviously there is also one of my favourite photos of me and my girls at the show. 

DHN Show Party in Arnhem!

It was party time again in Arnhem on 5 and 6 October. This year, the Athenezaal of hotel Papendal was very busy, filled with almost 100 participants from no fewer than 15 different countries. You can reminisce via these pages. Did you miss this event? No problem, the DHNShow will take place again on 4 and 5 October 2025!

Noelle's Bedroom - Holly's Christmas Shoppe

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are well and that you having a great week. Now that November is here, Christmas is getting closer. Even though I am preparing for my next book launch I still try my best to fit some time for my own creativity. I am excited to share with you this year's Christmas Project.


Most of you know about Miss Holly and her Victorian styled Christmas Shop and you also know about her short stories. Last year's story was about her niece Noelle and St. Nick. 

Holly's Christmas Shoppe is also where Miss Holly and Noelle live, but as the space is limited unfortunately they share the same bedroom. However this is about to change.

On the upper floor of Holly's Christmas Shoppe where the attic lies, on the front panel there is a small area but when it comes to the house itself there is no access to the room.



I found it very odd that the panel was closed and it seemed such a pity to have so much space wasted. 

So I decided to open the panel to create a bedroom for Noelle. As I am forbidden to use certain cutting power tools, Gilbert had to do the job to cut the rectangle neatly to have access to the attic.


It was perfect! Thank goodness that I had the same wallpaper pattern that was used for the front panel. I cut another wall to split the attic area and have more of a smaller cosy room and painted the roof  and wall.


A short wall was added to make the floor edges neater and I fixed everything to the roof.


I created a small false door that will be added to the side walls as an entrance to the room. 


I have to say I am very happy how it looks already and I can't wait to decorate it. 




I have already added a few nursery toys to the front. 


I think Noelle will love it once her bedroom is ready. Hopefully by Christmas it will be done and ready.

Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates on this project and for the latest news. 

Take Care and See You Soon.

Hugs,

No 44 - Mornington House

 Hello Everyone,

How are you? I hope you are all well. It's been a hectic couple of weeks. Wondering if I am being creative? I can assure you that being an artist, my creativity is overflowing and that goes without saying. I have been creating many new miniatures for the upcoming Kensington DollsHouse Festival - Christmas Show in London where I will also launch my new book. There is a lot of work there, and I can't wait to share it with you. 

These occasions are very important to me and promoting my book at this early stage after it  has just been released comes without a second thought. Writing the book and creating the dollhouse in the process took me 18 months to complete so I am very proud of my hard work and that I succeeded in creating this project to inspire and help others. Remaining real and positive (especially when you have a lot to show for) without letting anyone try to bully or put you down comes with the deal. One can only look forward, dust off what is negative and continue moving upwards with a smile. At the end you will always reach your goal.

For obvious reasons, I couldn't share the progress of No 44 - Mornington House here on my blog like what I do normally, as this dollhouse was built specifically for the book. However, I think now it's about time that you get to see it. 


No 44, Mornington House, is a Victorian-styled Town House. It has six rooms which include the Parlour, The Hallway, the Breakfast room, the Kitchen, the Bedroom and Bath room. 


The dollshouse was designed and built by me and the book is a step-by-step guide of the process of this house.


 Here are some photos of the completed rooms of No 44, Mornington House.

The Parlour

I am sure that by now you have seen the parlour several times especially on the cover of the book. 

The Hall

The Breakfast Room

The Kitchen

The Bedroom

The Bathroom

It was not easy keeping this project away from you. Now I am looking forward to continuing where I left off on my Christmas Project. Make sure to keep tuned for the next update and latest news.

Take Care and See You Soon.

Hugs,
