Something New
[nocrosspost][/nocrosspost]I decided to take a break from house building. Yesterday I found this wonderful Dickens’ Desk. The desk where Charles Dickens wrote Great Expectations. It was made of mahogany. This desk fetched almost 900 000$ at auction in 2008. I also found different variations of it on several antiques’ sites.
Cuties
The weather is not very good today for making pictures, but I’ll try.
Something about router bits
Last time I asked if I should make a post about the bits I have. Well, here it is, all my treasures stored in two little boxes:

Site updates
Till recent time I was using one Russian plugin for authorization through Facebook and Google. However, there were some problems with the last one. Yesterday I’ve installed another plugin, which not only has OpenID, Facebook and Google, but Livejournal too (mostly used by those who read my blog in Russian). Hope, there will be no problems now.
Windows
The last post about windows for this room. I printed the pattern on plastic.
The frame is made of mahogany. Here how it looked before sanding and gluing.
Art nouveau door
The first door for my dollhouse is finished. This is the first time I’ve tried to make it in art nouveau style. Lots of photos below.
MITEX show, day 2
Actually, I went there only because of the things I wanted to buy. On the first day I really wanted to look at some planes, but the crowd was too big.
Look what I bought!
Love Veritas planes, the smallest one is just 6mm.
Visiting a Show, Not Miniature One
This year I missed all doll’s shows in Moscow (we don’t have miniatures shows). I’ve seen several participants with dollhouses and miniatures on the photos, but it wasn’t enough motivation for me to go there. My husband is also doesn’t really like these shows, and my Mum couldn’t come to visit me.
But there was one show, my husband just couldn’t miss. It’s called MITEX – Moscow International Tool Expo. Usually it takes place in November. The registration and tickets are free.
