With huge thanks to Jenni who has kindly forwarded this lovely picture of Edie and Arthur - obviously they're going to make a very happy life together somewhere in Wales....I knew that pork pie she baked for him, and the fact that he sent her train fare, spoke volumes!
Incidentally she's pictured them on the balcony of a lovely 1910 house - nice, very nice!
Going down from 1/12th scale to 1/24th, the village school has a new schoolteacher - doesn't she look a friendly lady - the children are ready to make her very welcome.
Sorry the light wasn't too good when I took these pics.
I am sometimes asked which are the most challenging aspects of doll-making and would be interested in what others think. Apart from sculpting 1/48th faces (a pretty obvious challenge) I think it's getting eyebrows in the right place and making socks and real leather shoes for 1/24th scale six year olds!
I've now finished making new dolls in the run up to Christmas - although I still have a reasonable stock so it's worth asking if you need an extra miniature Christmas present.
However - Celia and I are both still busy and having fun working on prototypes for the new workshop next year. It's different again to anything we've offered before and we are SO enjoying ourselves. Our Nostalgia In Miniature Workshops website has information about The Early 1990s Little German Style Shop and we'll be adding more details asap. It's a very versatile project and we're delighted to be offering it in both 1/12th and 1/24th scales. We do already have a Reserve list, but it doesn't commit anyone to book at this early stage - so if you might be interested take a look.
Thanks for looking
Robin

Such a cute couple!
I wonder if the school teacher is like Miss Read. I love those stories and this lady with the children gatherd round her reminds me of that series.
Aaaah...don't Edie & Arthur make a very lovely couple. I recognise that balcony!!! As to the school chidlren and teacher, so THEY are what you have been busy making these past few days. They are gorgeous! Celia
Edie and Arthur look like they were made for each other ;)) Christmas Greetings to you and yours and a big hug from the miniature famult Downunder!
Make that family :0(
They do make such a lovely couple and I'm sure would appreciate the super comments - yes I thought you might recognise that balcony Celia. Lol
Great to see you back on a Blog Sus - have a wonderful, wonderful Christmas - RL and mini!
And you could be right Seranata - the school teacher is not unlike Miss Clare, who incidentally I made earlier in the year in the same scale.
