If you click on any of the highlighted text when you're reading the blog it will take you to the thing it is talking about. Usually in my blog it takes you to some of my photographs which illustrate what I'm saying. Sometimes it might be a link to a site which I think is worth checking out.
I've added Pages to the right hand column. The first contribution is the piece I've just written for an on-line magazine called Dolls Houses Past and Present
I was asked to write about building the ELF kitchen. The published piece will probably bear no resemblance to this - we shall see.
I have found it impossible to get two chairs to match the four dining chairs I already have so I have finally given up and settled for two which nearly match. Technically, right now, they are just pieces of wood as I have to make them. Construction and upholstery is a doddle for me but I am a bit twitchy about the staining and polishing of the wood to get a good finish. If anyone has any tips please email me or post a comment here. I am keen for any and all information I can get from a 'real' person - I have done all the web trawling I want to do on the subject I just need the confidence shove. Since buying these I have gone on to buy a load more stuff in white wood that I need to finish in various ways. So keep your eyes open for the extended cursing here and in Le Tout Paris.
Take five minutes to have a look at this. Now I know what I want for Christmas. The Shrink Ray
