I'd like to try my hand at these too.
It's great you will be willing to share your patterns and window graphics.

You have any luck on making the Santa sleigh?

Hi Steve, I am happy to share.
The sea houses have been a lot of fun to make. I am saving jolly old St. Nick for last. I have to start looking for the cardboard for Santa it looks a lot thicker than what we use. Does anyone have any idea?

Cool, Steve, thanks for sharing. Most of the Dolly's I've seen are in the post-glitter days. Nice to see an original glittered one.

Here’s the church measuring 5 ¼ inches tall, the base is 41/2 by 3 inches. This is the tallest building in my village and the only one that is all red. The bell is metal that I painted with an enamel paint for the first coat and then to I used an acrylic paint for the next coats, to many to mention. The enamel paint adhered a bit better. My next house is the one with the bay window.

Lynn, this is charming. What a precise job you did and the bell is just a great finishing touch.

Here is my 2nd house in the Dolly series I'm doing. It is the two peaked house with mica finish.
