Once Upon A Time, Many Years Ago...

miniature Halloween room

I found some pictures of some old projects.  Some really, really old projects.  The picture above was my very first ever miniature room.  Click on it for a larger view.  I made the pumpkin being carved on the table and the trick or treat bags out of gum wrappers.

I barely remember working on some of these.  I don't have them anymore.  I sold some at yardsales and some I gave to friends.

Most of them were before I started making a lot of my own stuff.

I remember using Christmas wrapping paper for this one.

And I don't think I even finished this house.

Little bits that just tease my memory.  But unfortunately all random and never the full picture.

I remember reusing some of the furniture from this room.

And putting it in this room.

miniature girl's room

I remember the little dolls they used to have at the Dollar Tree.

That bed shows up in a couple pictures.

I think I gave up on finishing the first dollhouse and gave it away and then built the second out of a bookshelf.  But I kept all the furniture from the first.  This was 16 years ago.

I wish I still had some of this stuff.

Then there is this room.  I remember putting this room together, but I can't remember the rest of the dollhouse and what it looked like and I can't find anymore pictures.

Do you ever look at older projects and realize how far you've come?
