Updates, Technical Stuff & A Give Away!
I just finished adding the latest swap photos & two new video tutorials.
Technical Stuff: The "design" change to my website involves moving the website menu from the left side of the website to the top. I don't want to bore you all with the details, this change was necessary. Things might be a little messy for a few days but I should have the majority of the changes made by the end of the week. I also just recently realized that Google translator is only translating my home page, it doesn't work site wide, so I will be moving the translator to the top of my website so my visitors will have the ability to translate all pages.
The Give Away: I'm not going to say too much about the Give Away, yet....just be sure to watch this space!
I'll be back tomorrow to post the Dollhouse of the Month for March!

New Dollhouse & Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I hope the new year finds you all happy and healthy! My year is already starting out great....my grandma gave me her dollhouse a few days after Christmas, along with some furniture and a box of other miniature odds and ends. Grandma just turned 85 years old in December, she built the house around 20 years ago....she doesn't know the name of the dollhouse but it is from Real Good Toys. It's in excellent shape, other than the missing front porch (Grandma gave it away), not a scratch or speck of dust or missing shingle. Grandma decorated every room in some shade of pink.....bless her heart, pink is my least favorite color but I would like to keep as much of what she did as possible. This is where you guys come in. The pink is throwing me......I don't know what to do, who lives in a huge pink house?

Moving Day!
It's been such a long time since I last posted and so much has happened, I don't know where to start!
I should start by saying hello & welcome to my new followers.
Hello & Welcome!!
I'll have a give away soon to give you all a proper welcome.
I haven't posted in such a long time because I have been moving my web site, My Small Obsession, to a new home on the web. The move has taken much longer than expected but will be worth it in the end!
Please remember, my website address, http://mysmallobsession.com will remain the same so any links to the home page will still work. All other pages are no longer accessible through their individual addresses, so if you are linked to any of those pages you will need to update the link. It will be a few days before everything is up and working properly so please hang in there!
The actual "move" will be taking place over the next 48 hours so it's most likely that my web site will be temporarily disabled during that time. I have added a lot of new pages, information & features, but I'm not finished so you won't be able to see all of the new features right away. I have more to add and will continue through September. I hope to have everything completed before the end of the month.
Thank you all so much for your hanging in there with me!

Craigslist Find!
It's missing shingles, part of the roof, columns, a door and some various other odds and ends but nothing impossible to fix or replace. The chimney is missing on top and some of the brickwork needs repair. The interior is in just a little better shape than the exterior. All of the trim is pretty rough looking, some walls are missing, and somebody left some lovely crayon artwork in a few places. I don't have a clue where I'm going to put this house. Right now it's crammed into my workshop (the workshop that still doesn't have walls) on a wobbly old card table.
and it's full of projects to make furniture and accessories for every room in a house so I could make most everything myself. I'm not sure if that's the way I want to go and would love some feedback. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any ideas, I would love to hear them!

"Gimme a whiskey, ginger ale on the side. And don't be stingy, baby." ~ Greta Garbo
I made all of the bottles, except the red one that has the Acient Age label, from pens that I purchased at the dollar store. I was able to get several diffferent shapes for both bottles and glasses. I also used clear push pins for the bottle necks, I found some at the dollar store that have a thinner "neck" than other push pins. I made the glasses from cut pieces of pens, mini plastic baby bottles (dollar store) and straws. I cut the labels from ads, they are much clearer than prinites.
A peek at the back of the bar.
That's all for now. I'll be back later to announce the winner of the Follower Giveaway!
