[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cross stitch and embroidery.  Don't laugh, but I also have a dollhouse that I built when the kids were little and that I add to and redecorate every so often.  [/quote]

I have a beat up wood dollhouse in the attic I've been waiting until retirement to take on. Years and years ago I had an insurance job that had me on the road. Once I ended up at a client's house. she was not home but her husband was. Ended up spending an hour getting a tour of her dollhouses. I think she made money off of them as a side thing, but it was really a passion, and they were amazing. Some were full-blown victorian houses, some were little items--one was named "Annie's Closet" and it was literally a little closet with all kinds of odd random stuff spilling out of it, some were Halloween or Christmas themed. Little touches like in the biggest Victorian dollhouse there was a bowl of cookie dough on the table and a half filled cookie sheet, towel draped over a chair.

I made dollhouses using cardboard boxes and making furniture out of empty thread spools and whatnot as a kid. [/quote]
