Malcolm has spent the past few months working on a wooden Dolls House for Nikita, and now it is finally finished in time for her birthday today.

Once completely opened up it is almost 2 metres long.

Everything in this house is handmade.

Front side of the house, yes everything on the outside of the front and back is hand made.

Back side of the house

The house opens up to reveal all the furniture, with the side fences folded in, these fold out to reveal garden seats, lights and flowers

The embroidered wall hanging I made to go above the fireplace

The fireplace with wooden surround, a firescreen, with real miniature logs and a clock on the mantel

A wooden lounge suite which I then upholstered

The living room with a small side table and lamp, a grandfather clock on the wall, handmade curtains and rug on the floor.

It is difficult to see in the above picture but there is a cat on the windowsill

The bedroom, with fold down bed with handmade quilt, a dressing table with drawers that open and a mirror. An Amoire which opens to reveal small handmade coat hangers with a fold down ironing board and an iron, and a separate standard lamp.

The Armoire

Fold down ironing board and iron

Inside the Armoire

Dressing table with seat

The first side gate, with fruit trees, on the front of the fence is a garden spade and fork, and ivy growing on the gate (which opens) and a pot plant
