I'm thinking about making a miniature needlework pillow and/or rug for my dollhouse. I really enjoy the Bargello stitch and this little miniature footstool is a good example of that stitch.

This is the first post to my blog about my dollhouse. I've never built a dollhouse before, and a friend suggested that I put my thoughts about it on my blog. I figured a separate blog might be the thing I need to do, so I could post pictures and keep it separate from my other blogs.

A couple of weeks ago I bought my first dollhouse kit from Hobby Lobby. It's called the Orchid Dollhouse kit. I got it for $14.99 using one of their 40% off coupons. I figured that this was an inexpensive way to go and if I mess it up I will not have lost that much money.

So far I've painted some of the windows and I'm working on painting the doors. I'll post more pictures soon.
