I love them because they are beautiful, but another reason to like them is that they are unbreakable. When kids come over, they can play with them. Meanwhile, I put the stitching away. Just thinking about a child with jammy fingers picking up a needlepoint canvas . . . well, my heart just sinks. A good definition of a harridan would be me finding a dirty-fingered person exploring the texture of a 100-hour piece of stitching.Monica Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722045113589668612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-35365446386052182482007-08-12T11:31:00.000-04:002007-08-12T11:31:00.000-04:00Joanna ... what's the size of your miniature house...Joanna ... what's the size of your miniature house?

I dated one in college and he'd have been all over a dolls' house.<BR/><BR/>You know, Camille, I was told there are "dollhouses" and "miniature houses." The later is sort of an art form and a collectible. I have a "miniature house" with a very expensive leather chair from D'Ann Ruff (did I spell that right?) and I'm not about to let anyone--adult or child--touch the house. It's not a "for touching" house.<BR/><BR/>But I will concede, it was hard for me to stand back and let my son do his own scrapbooking without wanting to straighten this or that. I did, though. I did.
