Thirlbeck House

This is my Dad with the very first dollhouse in my world. I found it under a bush at a friend’s house, they were going to take it to the rubbish tip!!!! I begged Dad when he picked me up to let me have it. We went home in my mum’s little Renault and came back in his big blue Plymouth and fitted my ‘Thirlbeck’ in the back seat.
Dad put a new roof on, carpeted and wallpapered and my cousin put lights in for me! Thirty years later Thirlbeck had a renovation with new wallpaper, a bathroom and kitchen added and it was sat upon a library and museum. I hope others see it as it is in my imagination. My kitty sat in there out of my reach and destroyed the second floor in the museum which had a second renovation. I think I always do better the second time around anyway.

Dad passed away but before he died he bought a bunch of mini dogs from a bargain shop for me and mum gave them to me on my birthday, a few days after his death. It was my best birthday present, picturing my big dad with his fumbling fingers choosing tiny dogs for my dollhouse. Of course they all live in 'Thirlbeck', and the memory still makes me smile

Hello everyone, I am Robbie, the pink cyberfaery who lives on an island in a river in Australia on the far north coast. It is semi tropical here and everyday I thank my lucky stars for living in such a beautiful area. I know there are many wonderful places on this earth to live from chatting to internet friends, and for this I am glad as otherwise we wouldn't all fit in the one great place would we?
My interests are the world of miniatures as in dollhouses etc, and crafts. I used to spin and weave and have created some pretty pink wallhangings in my time but now am unable to see well enough to thread up a loom and spinning is a too hard on my wrists. I do have a sister who is fabulous at both however, and she can dye a a piece of her spun yarn to match any colour in the rainbow. She is currently weaving tartan rugs for locals in their own personal colours.
