Love that new little sofa you got too, although you may need a bigger one now or perhaps get another plus a couple of armchairs too.
You're going to need a decent sized bed too, if you want to get them all cosy together!

Funny you say that!

I've ordered some thin (1/4") foam sheets, and am going to have a go at "upholstering" the sofa I made myself.

I have also bought some more plywood, and was going to have a go at making a 1/6 scale version of my bed -- it'll end up being about 36cm wide x 38cm long. Will use the foam to make a mattress and some pillows.

The sofa that came from Amazon feels like it is made from a firm foam, that has just been covered in fabric - so I will see about replicating that too! Cutting and covering foam will be easier than cutting up plywood for sure.

So, right now, every body in the house has a head, and every head has a body. But I do have 6 more heads on the way along with 2 bodies. So that means 4 more bodies are needed (taking my total to 10! wow.) I only have 2 outfits incoming right now, so will need to find something for at least 3 of the 4 to wear. One going nude is acceptable

I have to caution you djcdoll, DO NOT get involved in these minis!!!

I've taken a few of mine out several times! The most interesting was taking my Miette to King's College Chapel in Cambridge! There were hundreds of tourists there and no one batted an eyelid when I placed her on a bridge to take photos of her with the chapel in the background! I couldn't see me doing that with a full sized doll!!!

You wouldn't believe how many people were milling around behind me and taking their own photos of the Chapel! I don't think any took one of Miette though!

Combined garter belt and panties - so at least some of these girls wont be quite so naked! But the stockings attach via these tiny tiny buckles!

You're going to need a BIG magnifying glass, a steady hand and a LOT of patience to fit those!

I dressed her in the outfit I had that didnt fit Felicity, and well, staining is a thing! So I took it off, and am researching stain removal Some posts say to leave it, and it will fade - so I will try that. Failing that, I will need some sort of ball gown for her to cover it all!

The stockings are also really short - barely knee length, so will need to try and get some longer ones.

I also built, lets call it, a Scandi minimalist sofa! Somewhere for them to sit and pose. I'll put some padding on and upholster it at some point.









To the naked eye, the hands and feet look the same colour. I guess there are some colour adjustments that need to be made here
