Taking Pubert to the Dollhouse Museum! (Addams Family Dollhouse) 

It is definitely an honor that they want to display it for another year! Thank you Lori!

Who wouldn't want to keep her as long as they can? She's A Beautiful Marvel Extraordinaire!

Thank you Simoan Says! That means so much to me😊

Thank you Rachael! I was so happy I thought about them playing together because it definitely brought an bit of 'cuteness' into the house😄 Don't tell any of the other family members!

Thank you so much Nancy! The sign was such a fun surprise!

😄 Thank you!!

Thank you!! I am so glad you enjoyed the video! And I agree... miniatures are made to be moved around and changed up every now and then!

I think she wanted to stay lol!

😄 Thank you Rachel!!

Thank you so much!! I was so happy to see them there too! Maybe each year I need to add a new character lol!

💖 I am so glad you enjoyed the video! It is my pleasure to be able to share with all of you that are so uplifting to me!

Thank you Bev!! I couldn't stop looking at the beautiful mountains and rock formations as we were driving out there!

@@BentleyHouseMinis yeah looks gorgeous, would love to visit USA one day xx

Thank you so much Jillian!

My daughter kept asking how my 'dog' was going lol! She knew what I was making too, little stinker! It will be fun to have it looming in the background again some day!

I just had too lol! Thank you!

Thank you for that comment Chad! Maybe someday the Abandoned Coffee Shop will get a new room or something. I have a special place in my heart for that project as well😊

@@BentleyHouseMinis If I may say, it was rather gloomy than most of your masterpieces which was the exact reason I gravitated towards it at once. Very happy to hear that it may have a special place in the future. 😊

Thank you!! If you get the chance I highly suggest it! Its a magical place!

I think he looked happy too! thank you Zoe!

Haha! I do hope to show it in other places in the future! It is a wonderful feeling and I was so honored when they asked to keep it a little longer! (It also gives me more time to figure out where to put it when it comes back)😄

Fantastic! I hope you are able to stop by some time. The whole museum is worth it!

I know! Time flies by doesn't it?? Thank you!

Thank you so much Christine! It does look quite different in a glass case as opposed to in my house next to all my cardboard boxes lol!

I may have to add a new character each year lol! Thank you Lydia!

I do miss making abandoned rooms! I definitely want to do more! Thank you Bella!

Yes he will be there with the rest of the fam for another year! Enjoy the movie!

Margaret is a great character and she would be fun to make in her Halloween costume! Thank you!

@@BentleyHouseMinis You're very welcome. I adore Margaret. Found a gentleman who could appreciate her in Cousin Itt, and acceptance/support via the Addams family. She really tried to convince Debbie that the Addams Clan were the best thing that could happen to ladies like them, but poor Debbie was too blind to see it. Also, something funny I like to point out to people about her: Morticia later on roasts Debbie for wearing pastels, but never says anything of the kind to Margaret. XD

@@hikarinile I never realized that before, great observation! I think that was Morticia at her wits end! If Debbie could have got her mind off her Barbie trauma for 10 seconds she could have seen they would accept her how she is!

Thank you Nicki!! That means so much to me!

Thank you Yungzu!😊 It is such an honor that they want to display it for longer!

Thank you😊

It was so great to meet you as well Rhonda and thank you for the journal! I have looked through it several times now and see something new and beautiful each time💖

@@BentleyHouseMinis I'm glad you are enjoying it. I was very thankful for your help with the paper donation to the shelter for domestic violence. It was well appreciated and well received.

It was my pleasure to share! I am so glad you enjoyed the video, my friend!

Haha yes it was so long! I was trying to figure out how to fly out there but the projects are just too big to make it work. Oh well! Thank you Pat!

Thank you Patricia! It will always be a special one to me!

Thank you! I really like where they were originally but moving them just seemed like the thing to do! And it was fun to 'play' again😄

What is really wild is that more than half of the trip was just getting out of my own state lol! I am so glad you enjoyed the video! I always like seeing the scenery of different places too!

Oh you definitely should check out the dollhouse at Windsor when you have time! I would love to see it in person someday. I have seen Colleen Moore's house in Chicago which was breathtaking so to see Queen Mary's house would be awesome! I am so glad you liked the video!

It is truly and honor and I am so happy it will be there for a little bit longer! Thank you, I am so glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!! I am excited to make more!

It is a ton of work but I do enjoy it! Thank you so much Meg! I hope to do more with the museum in the future!

They have so much in there to look at!

Thank you Kerri😊

It was a great trip! Thank you!

😊 Thank you!!

I am so glad you were able to go to Philadelphia Mini show! I was invited to go and have a table there but I knew I already planned to be at the museum so it was impossible. I enjoyed seeing other mini makers photos of the show. It looked awesome! I will definitely look up the mini project you mentioned👍

😊💖

Thank you!!😊

Thank you😊😊

Thank you so much Joshua! I really appreciate that and I do hope that you give it a try. Even starting with a single room box will really give you a feel for the art form and what you enjoy making!

That will definitely come in the future probably through my 'Bentley House Kits' channel ;) Thanks Kelly!

It was bigger than I expected too! And when its filled with things that are so tiny there is soo much to look at lol! I am glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you Ruth! That means so much to me I ended up bringing Mini-Ara back home with me because she has so many other projects to keep me on track with here too! I just had to take her to snap a few pictures while I could! I am so glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much Mike!

Thank you so much and welcome!! I am so glad you are thinking of getting started in minis! Its such a fun and creative endeavor and I hope you enjoy it😊

They did offer to do that for me which was super sweet! I want to make sure I haven't forgotten anything else before they have to open that case again😄 I am so honored that they want it for longer!

Yes!! Many people checked out the QR codes for the videos too so I hope they keep clicking through to find you😊 The Fairfield is not complete yet so you didn't miss anything. They had suggested bringing an in-progress project for people to see too! I did bring the smaller projects back home as they were just there for the 'Artist in the Gallery event' It was kind of an extra bonus for those who were able to come out during that time ;)

@@BentleyHouseMinis lol.. okays on the Fairfield🥰..that's all so exciting!💖💖 I would love to goto a miniature museum..the one I grew up going to...has eliminated what use to be a whole dollhouse floor..now they only have a handful...why thebwould do that is beyond me ..I wouldbspends hours there....just so sad!😔

Hello Aunt Kathy!! Yes, she has many more projects to keep me on track with lol!😄

😊 Thank you! It was so fun to find new spots for them!

I am not so big on road trips but its definitely worth it when something so fun is at the end of the trip lol! My guess is that I am just road tripping wrong and need to take more time to enjoy what is in between! Thank you Elaine!

@@BentleyHouseMinis Yes, that's the secret, it's the different places in between as well as what you're heading for. You're very welcome!

I definitely suggest starting with a single room. It gives you a good feel for finishing walls, making furniture, etc. If you make a room and get through completing it then a whole house is just doing that several more times!😉 Book nooks are also a fun way to start out. Thank you Sans!

No, she ended up coming back home with me. Soo many projects here that she needs to keep me on track for lol! It was a really good trip but colder than I thought it would be honestly! Although not as cold as it seems its going to be where you are! Brrrr. Yes stay inside and stay warm!

Thank you Shawn! I am so happy to be spreading the words about the miniature art form wherever I can!

Thank you so much Jane!!

Lol! I knew I was going to forget to do something... I always do it seems!

I would love to visit other mini museums around the world some day!

Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed it!

It's wild that its been a year isn't it?? Time keeps flying by! I hope you enjoy getting back into your project. Miniatures are good at waiting on us to be ready!

It's wild that it's been a year already isn't it? I hope you enjoy getting back into your project, Miniatures are good at waiting on us to be ready for them!

I'm mostly picking up from where I sorta left off, pre-lockdown. I did a lot of life prepping, new and fave recipes, bread baking, (like everyone else).. I mended and sewn, (some), but, aside from collecting supplies and materials over time, from others, I haven't done, much.. especially on the Castle. My Cat is now spoiled because she discovered that she fits and likes to sleep on the second floor.. That's soon to be a game of tug-o-war! 🤨 I guess the knee replacement, helping others and finally getting the beer bug put a few dents into the annual "plans", too! Shoot! WHY Do Spring Windows and Treatments if NO ONE is gonna be around to see 'em, even possibly MYSELF, right?! I know we've all gained a New Perspective on things, it's been a process but, it's okay to play, now and then. It is Winter time in Chicagoland and this is my time of year for gettin-r-done! I am, once again, anxious to get crackin'! And, that IS encouraging! 🤗 I cannot BELIEVE how expensive the Hobby of Miniatures has gotten over the last few years, alone!!😳 Finished sets are more rare, pieces are usually hand crafted by skilled artists or they are antiques, and whoa!!! $$$$$😳 It's NOT due to the little ones who have the Best of the Barbie, American Girl, and Mousy kinda Plastic Houses...(and none of the smaller toy houses are EVER 1/12 scale! I have Noticed how the "industry" makes sure of that!) But, now more and more women, crafters, dads & daughters, are into miniatures and old style houses??? Is that what's going on?? What have you started, girl??🤭 I have saved quite a few of your videos for future (present?) reference but, I will certainly be back for More! I Love how you accomplish things in the simplest and most clever ways, at low cost! I'm Impressed with how good you are, using your architectural background. Ingenious and inspiring! 😉 Keep doing what you're doing! You're doing Great!

It's awesome! I have been twice and still I find new things I haven't seen! (also they do change out exhibits too)

Yes I will definitely be back next year!

Thank you Connie!

Haha yes it was a little busy these past couple weeks but I am happy to be back in the studio hard at work! I am not paid for the loan of the house but some of the other things I do with the museum (like the class) are paid and help me cover my costs ;) The museum has been very kind and generous to me!

I can confirm she made it safe back home lol! Thank you😊

Thank you Phil! There were 11 signed up I think but only 8 were able to make it that day. I packed up the kits for the others and they have directions to make everything!

Thank you!

Thank you, it's a great honor! Yes I do get paid for some of the things I do at the museum, like the class ;)

I am sure that would have been surprising lol!! I need to put some more art up there!

I am so glad you enjoyed it! No the smaller projects were just visiting for the 'Artist in the Gallery' event but I hope to bring some new things to the museum next year when I return😊

Lol! And I can only image what the shipping cost would look like!

That was the original plan but I was so glad they reached out and requested it for longer! Now I have longer to figure out where it will go when it comes back😄 The class was a blast! Thank you Tami😊
