This blog to document the progress of constructing my Fairfield, a halfscale kit from Greenleaf. I will be showing my progress as I construct, decorate and furnish this charming cottage, which has enchanted me ever since I first saw it way back when I first started miniatures. I hope you enjoy sharing my adventure with me. Pull up a chair, grab a cup of your favourite beverage, and enjoy. Please share your reactions, thoughts and suggestions - I love receiving feedback from my online friends!

And welcome to some more new followers

Thank you Elizabeth, Diva and De for signing up as followers to this blog.  I recognize some of your names from my main blog and I'm delighted that you've joined here too.

Elizabeth's blog about her Arthur is a must-read (www.studioeminiatures.blogspot.com.au).  I am particularly fascinated because my poor Arthur which was nearly completed was trashed in storage and will need to be totally re-vamped when I am in my studio and have the room to do it.  It has turned out for the better though because it will be totally different from what it originally was and reading blogs like Elizabeth's gives me so much inspiration.  She has a talent for making the most wonderful authentic-looking items from bits of nothing

Quarter scale baby shelves 
De's latest post is a great interview with Dr Bindy (http://delightfulminis.blogspot.com.au) whose field of interest in miniatures overlaps ours.  He customizes GI Joe figures to make entirely new characters and is very skilled at doing so.  I smiled when I read that he put away his figures because they were taking up too much room, and started with smaller figures which now take up even more space - because I started on quarter scale houses because they wouldn't take up so much room and now I have so many that they take up more space than my 1/12th scale ones do lol!  I love the stonework on the shop that De is building.  She has achieved such subtle variations in the colours and made it look so natural.

Diva - you don't give a blog. Please let me know if you do have one, I'd love to return the favour and become a follower of yours too.

Once again I want to say how much I appreciate you all, my followers.  And your comments.  Without the interaction between you who are reading and myself, what is the point of posting at all?  And the feedback you give provides such a boost of energy and enthusiasm that it can't be measures.  So I thank you all!
