This evening I opened the Greenleaf Village kit box. I'm going to have to have a good read of all the instructions, before I start anything. There's reams of instructions, 4 wood templates, windows, trims, the list goes on. Jasper looked just as flummoxed as me....
I've also got another two followers since this morning, Hello to Merylu who has a blog called Petite Fraise Handmade. And also Sandra, who's wonderful blog Tales From A Toymaker, I wrote about yesterday. Sandra has added the follower gadget to her blog today. As I always say, go over and say Hi...
Yes you opened the box...... Is that Jasper again. Is he going to help? Mini hugs!

ReplyDeleteMy plan is to make into Santa's village, Finnish style = red log houses. I've managed to get two of them finished. That was for Christmas 2006.... heh. Maybe I'll get around to it this coming summer. I have a few pics here: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/index.php?autocom=gallery&req=user&user=1052&op=view_album&album=514
I made a Greenleaf kit cottage many years ago. It's well worth spending a lot of time sanding and preparing the wooden components, as my kit (they may have improved in the intervening years) comprised very thin plywood pieces, which had to pressed out of sheets and they splintered like blazes.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I have seen some fantastically finished Greenleafs and they do look really unusual so go for it!
