Once upon a time four little girls, one little boy, one big girl and one big boy decided to build a dolls house. One of the little girls (Tiddles) wanted it to be a medieval castle. After some discussion, it was decided that the group would build a medieval castle that was now being lived in by a noble, Tudor-age family.
We decided to build the castle in 1:12 scale, or 1 inch to 1 foot, as that seemed to be the most popular scale for modern dollhouses.
We looked online for help, but couldn't find a great deal about building dollhouse sized castles :) There was one set of plans here, which were interesting, and there was information about a Tudor dollhouse on this model castle site here, and there's a wonderful castle-like dollhouse kit here, but we wanted to build something a little different.
Happy Christmas! I’ve had time to do some festive cross stitch!

to fit in during the coming year. Each year, I overestimate enormously!!

There is a wonderful craftsman that makes the most amazing Tudor dollshouses in Devon, UK. His name is Kevin Jackson of KJDollshouses.co.uk I just recevived mine about 3 weeks ago. It took him about three months to build it but it was worth the wait. Photos are on my blog: CockrellHall@blogspot.com
