Hello again, a few updates since my last post. Firstly I have a couple of new little people to add to the house.
Meet Edward the man of the house, clothed in Regency style and very handsome.
Jacket cut out and ready to sew
All he needs now is a top hat...... another make for another day

The beautiful Emily, the younger cousin of Charlotte the lady of the Manor. Emily is visiting for afternoon tea 😀

Simon the new Gardener.....
The young Butler, James learning his trade polishing the Silver in the servant's hall while the Head Butler gets all the easy jobs 😢

Curtain making for the windows on the large front doors
Pleated and ready to go
making the pelmets before covering with material
Charlotte's bedroom curtains
The Morning room curtains
Lilac curtains for the upper hallway....and to the right the Silver bathroom curtains
below them are the green Dining room curtains and the white lace ones are the stair curtains
Made some cushions with leftover material, something to keep my hands busy while watching the tv
*******************
Back to playing with Fimo again and made some food for the pantry and more doll components
Cheese

a few we bottles, salt holder, mortar and pestal, edam, cheddar, Silverside, Ham x2
garlic, onions, and tiny blotters for the study which cost a fortune in the miniature shops

A few additions to the pantry now.
A new shelving unit for the floor (left side) more wine at the back ( a good household always has lots of wine 😂😂😂)
Garlic hanging from the shelf, a large white ceramic canister with a yellow one under the table, and a basket of onions on the top. The mice are having a good feast with the potatoes 😲
new for the laundry room a clothes horse, scrubbing board ( you can just see it to the left in the sink), and a new wringer
***************
New furniture in the Morning room. A gold and mahogany settee and chair with foot stool and young Emily arrives for afternoon tea.
In the study, we have some large size books and a glass whisky decanter and glasses on the small table
A lovely red rug for the Music room

Thinking ahead to next year when hopefully I will get started with the renovation of the Victorian house, my miniatures shop had a 40% off all battery lights so I bought ceiling lights and wall lights to get me started.
The Victorian house has never been properly wired as it was made over 30 years ago and I couldn't get lights then, so instead of wiring it up like the Georgian house I decided it would be much easier for me to light it with battery lights. Hopefully, I've made the right choice but that will become clear next year when I get started on it.
2 wall lights 1 ceiling light
3 more ceiling lights
Only one more to show you and that is the new cupboard Hubby got for Dalton Manor.
I needed something a bit higher to sit the house on so that I had easier access to the basement area and we found this kitchen island on wheels which is just perfect. I can store more underneath and move it around easily.
That's all I have this time, so thank you for popping into my blog and I hope you enjoyed this update for Dalton Manor
Take care everyone
