I'm into miniatures too, I have one full size house, a half size house, a box room and my daughter has a house which we are converting into a dance wear shop and studio. I have made a lace bed cover and chair covers for my bigger house and embroidered the stair carpets, there are lace curtains for my box room which is also a bridal shop, also have made wedding dresses and a parasol. I have one problem with the curtains .... Having made three out of four pieces that were needed I decided it was time to finish them BUT have done the wrong ground stitch on the fourth piece, I have done bucks point ground instead of torchon ground and didn't realise till I had finished it...... So at some point I have 2 more pieces to make one with each of the grounds....oops! My daughters house, still being converted has knitted crossover cardigans, tutus, and shelves waiting to be filled with ballet shoes etc... (cotton bud ends wrapped in satin ribbon and paired up into tiny bags look like pointe shoes worn by ballerinas) but time for hobbies is tight at present. In lace class however I am trying my hand at a sample piece of Bayeux Lace in black ( not miniature) .... Hoping once I get going it will be less fiddly.
