I'm Helga and I live in France.
I'm actually not a dollhouse builder but a miniature builder.
My first wooden build was a little vintage car I got as a gift with an online order and I loved doing that. But I never looked any further untill one of my friends showed a booknook she made. I loved that so much that I started to look around myself.
I found a lovely booknook to start with, and it got me completely hooked on building miniatures.
I started to look for groups and pages with tips and suggestions and got so many ideas and a 'I want that too' list that became longer and longer.
When building my third miniature I had enough selfconfidence, also thanks to all I saw on those groups and pages to start personalising my kit but that's also where it became a bit difficult, I found out that there's so much recalculating to do and so much changing of what I want in different programms etc. It got me quite confused to be honest.
I stumbled upon this site because I was looking further for printables like books and wallpapers and paintings.
I love the explanations here but especially the various printables that Lizzy makes for us.
The only thing now that I have to learn is how to convert Lizzy's printables into the right scales for my builds, they are usually 1:24 and dollhouse scales are bigger.
So I hope to learn a lot here, even though I don't build dollhouses.
