Here I am again! Hope you are having a great week. I have some good news to share. It's about time that some new dolls move in the properties at My Miniature World. There are so many new faces and characters to meet, so during the next few months I will be introducing them to you during a short blog.
Milly will keep updating us with her interviews too, meeting the characters and telling us a bit about them.
Today I wanted to share with you Miss Penelope. Miss Penelope is a new character in Regent Street and you will find her in the 'Cures & Remedies' Apothecary with Mrs. Pierce.
She is dressed up in a beautiful blue dress and she is a customer that needs to buy some medicines.
Penelope was made by my dearest friend and brilliant doll maker Beverley Senatore.
I hope you you like Miss Penelope. I can't wait to share with you the new faces that will be joining in so make sure to keep tuned,
"On The Twelve Days of Christmas, Miss Holly will be visiting Regent Street to bring joy and wonder during the magical time of Christmas. "
Miss Holly even though in high spirits, unfortunately got a nasty cold. Winter was taking it's toll and rained constantly. Miss Holly was feeling a bit under the weather. All she needed to do was take hot drinks and maybe have one of those famous remedies that only Mrs. Pierce could come up with.
Mrs. Pierce was such a kind hearted soul and helped so many people in the past 20 years that Miss Holly could never be grateful enough to her. As Mrs. Pierce had a great interest in plants, herbs and botanics, Miss Holly got her a Poinsettia plant so she can keep in the shop during Christmas time.
Early in the morning Miss Holly went to visit Mrs. Pierce at the Apothecary and thankfully to her, it wasn't as busy.
Miss Holly got to pick the best Poinsettia pot that she had from her own growing plants.
Mrs. Pierce was so surprised when she saw Miss Holly so early in the morning. With a big smile she asked her if she could be of service to the young lady and Miss Holly asked politely if a remedy could be given to relief her from this nasty cold.
Mrs. Pierce was quick with her remedy methods and prepared a special tea that Ms Holly can brew at home. Miss Holly had no doubt that she would be feeling better with that and gave Mrs. Pierce the Poinsettia.
Mrs Pierce was delighted with the pot and the kind gesture of Miss Holly. It added some color and not to mention a little bit of Christmas cheer to the shop.
Mrs. Pierce put the blooming Poinsettia in the window shop for everyone to see. She couldn't be more happy and touched with Miss Holly's surprise.
So this is all for today.
Coming soon the 3rd Day of Christmas at Regent Street so keep tuned.
How are you all? Hope you are all well. It has been a while since I updated my blog. I was quite busy before travelling to the Dolls House Nederland Show in Arnhem. But here I am again among my miniatures and today I will be sharing with you the last part of 'The Patient' project which completes the whole project. I have shared this a few weeks ago on the 'Life & Style' TV Show on the Maltese Channel NET TV.
The Patient
The room was quite ready to start being decorated. I had added all the trimmings against the wall with the new fireplace and now it was time for the furniture pieces and accessories.
I have worked on the wardrobe and as it was a little boy's room I kept to the theme with the galleons.
Apart from the wardrobe I also added the washstand table which has delft blue tiles and added a few accessories accordingly.
Master Ben had his cast iron bed, built and decorated to keep him warm and comfortable.
A few toys were added which have been hand painted by my dad.
The day came that I took the project and shared it on the show with the presenter Charles Saliba.
You can see the clips from my You Tube Channel or below.
Here are a few photos of the project 'The Patient'
The Patient
As most of you know 'The Patient' project is part of 'The Physician' and the 'Cures & Remedies Apothecary' which now is complete and will be part of my Regent Street.

Hope you like what I have done with this project. I have to say I am very happy with the outcome. I will continue working on my Pembroke Grange but will also start a new project for the show which will be a renovation of a 1:24 scale dolls house.
Make sure to keep tuned for the next update. Take Care and See You Soon,
Hope you are all having a great weekend. It's been quite busy here as always.
A fortnight ago, I am pleased to say that I completed 'The Physician' project and I am so happy how it turned out.
I have added some new additions to 'The Physician' that makes it look extra special and extra realistic.
One of my hand made miniatures that I made was the doctor's scales and I am really thrilled how it turned out. I used all sorts of things to makes this; from cardboard to metal pieces.
The Doctor's Scales
Another piece that I built from a kit and painted was the Victorian radiator which has fitted nicely in the room.
Just before Christmas I received a wonderful gift from my dearest friend and fellow miniaturist José Pereira Torrejón. He sculptured a skull and made a miniature journal with his sketches to put on the doctor's desk. You can also visit his Rust and Steel Miniatures Blog to see more detailed pictures.
I have decorated the desk with some of my mini prints and a 3D printed bust of Dr. Charles Darwin.
Additional to that, José also gifted me with this beautiful miniature wheel chair which was made by the Dutch Artist Mr. Han Goergen. Such a beautiful piece. I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Han Goergen last year in March when I went to the DHNS in Arnhem.
Mr. Goergen was also kind enough to send me a small gift of his own which are the pair of miniature crutches to go with the wheel chair.
From here I would like to thank José and Mr. Han Goergen for these wonderful miniatures. They have fitted perfectly in the room.
I decorated the wall with a shelf that I made and added a few books and jars to it. On the same wall you will find Victorian Anatomy illustrations that I printed as well.
Right above the desk I added two printed framed canvases. One has a portrait of a young Charles Darwin painted by Richmond George in 1840. and the other is a painting by Rembrandt called The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicholaes Tulp dated 1632.
The book shelf was moved at the back so the inside details can be seen better.
Finally our handsome doctor came to his clinic. Dr Keller. Another wonderful doll made by my dear friend and doll maker Beverely Senatore.
The time came when I had to share the complete project with presenter Charles Saliba on the 'Life & Style' Tv Show on the Maltese Channel NET TV.
Here are the TV clips where I share the progress of this project.
Charles Saliba & I
Here are some photos of the complete room.
As 'The Physician' is the second part of the whole project, it was time for it to go in its place, right on top of the Apothecary - Druggist 'Cures & Remedies'.
I hope you like what I have done so far. Tomorrow I will be sharing the start of the new room on 'Life & Style' TV show, which will go right on top of 'The Physician' project. The new project will be called 'The Patient'. Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates.
