Miniature Art Deco Dollhouse build 

so do I!

@lindatumminelli2895 yes we LOVE that movie.....we loved when Nathan was being taught to "act like a man" and he split the toast! And Robin said "the thing is, not to go to pieces when you split the toast"! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

@barbararosensteel8031 thank you so much Barbara 🙏 I'm hoping when it comes to the big house, that I will make some even better ones for their rooftop garden!

@sysop224 I usually do the "tounge out" move, but I keep that for the "off camera" moments! 😂

@chrisdavis7720 oh bless you Chris! I'm glad I was there to help just a little, but please try not to feel sad! I know sometimes this just doesn't work, but someone once said to me, that we go about our days feeling all sorts of emotions. But we do this without thinking, we just let it happen. And then they said, it doesn't matter what is happening in that moment, we do actually have a choice, of how to react to the situation!!! And I've NEVER forgotten those words. So something that's annoying could be happening right now, that would make you automatically angry. But that's because you've just let thise feelings happen without thought, because it's the obvious way to feel. But if you stopped at that point and thought "you know what, I'm going to CHOOSE not to feel angry", then it's quite amazing sometimes, how your brain can actually make you feel differently at that point in time! I'm not sure I've said all this in a clear way, but hopefully you'll get my gist. Actually, sometimes (like in a month when my finances are down to next to nothing because all the bills have come out and I don't know if I'll have enough learnt by the end of the month) then I feel at my lowest. But because I'm constantly trying to get videos out to my "family" and don't want yo give up and let them down, I often say to myself "I can actually CHOOSE not to let this get me down" and I can CHOOSE to be "happy" and chat to my "family" to show them what I'm up to today! And it works!

@@RichMiniatures Your helpful advice is very like the teachings of David and Alex Lees (Wu Wei Wisdom channel). David is a Daoist. Also like the teachings of beloved Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay), Buddhist monk, whose life and work is inspirational.

@maroulio2067 oh really? I haven't heard of them, but underneath the surface, I'm a fairy "spirituality" minded person. I definitely believe there is a lot more out there that we don't know about. And that has always interested me! 🙏

@dandelionbearartist YAY! 😂 I'm glad you were able to join us with your company my lovely! 😀

@@RichMiniatures ♥️😀

@maroulio2067 OH MY GOODNESS!!! I absolutely couldn't believe it when I read your comment! You brought it all back to me just like it was yesterday! And I spend my time on youtube, saying that I think of us as one big "family" and without talking, none of us know just how close we really all are! As soon as you said Fishkill, it was like a light bulb moment, because I instantly remembered it's in Fishkill. It was such a vivid experience for me, I remember exactly how it looked on the outside, where the main door is, on the corner of the building, with the ramp up to the doors. As you go in, we went to the left and sat by the window looking out onto the carpark (because I wanted to see all the American cars). Oh what a small world Maroulio! You've really made my day, thank you 🙏

@@RichMiniatures well, I was so amazed when you said that, I stopped the video, called Charlie over, and we watched together, marveling at your ability to remember the name of the diner from so many years ago! You made our day, too.

@maroulio2067 Oh I was so interested in everything we did back then when visiting upstate NY! My brain was like a sponge taking in info 😂 but I'm so happy after all these years, to still have some kind of link to those days!

@catbem2593 ooooh! You know, I never even thought of that my lovely! See, it just shows, when we all get together, we all have different ideas! 😍

@rachaelkasper5445 thanks for the tip Rachael 🙏 it's lovely how we all are learning from each other in this wonderful community 😀

@jonihenry8124 thank you my lovely 🙏

@Sarahtr1sx awww bless you! Thank you for all your support Sara 🙏 ❤️

@kathleenmartingale9718 hahaha, when I was putting the house together, it crossed my mind how small the next size down would look like! 😂 But I can't thank you enough Kathleen. John boy loves his minis, and has looked in the room with the perfume bottles more times than he's looked in the house to date! 🙏🤎

@lanaheasman1623 thank you Lana 🙏 I'd love to visit a place like this in real life!

@em6577 awww thank you my lovely! 🙏 I wasn't at all sure about the palm tree, never having made kne or worked in this scale before. But I was really happy by the end of the journey 😊

@@laurelldockall2399 bless you for saying 🙏 and believe me, it would be a dream come true to be able to bring our family together in one huge room! ❤️🙏❤️

@monicaericsson473 many thanks Monica 🙏 I really enjoyed the journey!

@deenafrayo thank you Deena 🙏

@diane64yorks hello Diane, I'm pleased you enjoyed today's video! 😊 you are right, this scale doesn't take up much room, but it's so fiddly and a bit sore on the old bones! But I love the result so much, and am looking forward to placing in the larger Art Deco house soon 😀

@@UlsterCountyNY thank you for sharing that wonderful piece of family history with me! I love to hear stories of the past like that. I can just picture your father in such surroundings back then! And yes! It was the I84 diner in Fishkill 😀🤎😀 huge portions, and the cheesecake was something I'll remember for the rest of my life!

@@UlsterCountyNY I forgot to say in my reply...what a good idea to make use of the three pots! Some "earth" around them, and they could look good in that kind of scene!!!

@Jean-vl2nf thank you Jean 🙏

@irismoles9369 ooh what a great idea Iris!!! At some point I will have to have a think about sun loungers!

It needs a pool!

@@carolwhittlesea7683 hi Carol

@sysop224 thank you 🙏 it's very fiddly at that scale, but I'm so pleased with the results! The "no budget" house sadly fell apart, a long story but not for me to comment on other folk 😏

@craftyhobbit7623 yes it was quite a challenge because of the tiny scale, but it's going to look fantastic in it's larger house at some point!
