Issue 52 February 2026

4 Hi Everyone, We have a blank page, 365 days, a brand new year to calm ourselves down with our marvellous hobby. Go for it! There are exciting trends around. This month we have some really different little projects and have balanced this out with some traditional doll houses from the past. I have had lovely feed back from my digital subscribers on - line regarding the ȧipping book version of this magazine. We all love praise. From Kelly at Mimmies Miniatures, who is locked down in snowy conditions in the states right now — she says ‘the little projects, the technical detail and accuracy, are all unique. Truly amazing.’ Thank you Kelly. I foresee you are all going to enjoy the different projects in this issue.
