Make your own photo slideshow

Available in a limited quantity on our website now.......

That's the way to do it.....!!!

Continuing the theme of 'Where's our summer?' from previous posts, we thought it would be appropriate to showcase one of the Great British Summer's most celebrated seaside institutions.

So, bang on schedule, this morning we revealed our July Kit of the Month to coincide with a very special birthday.

This year marks the 350th anniversary of one of our best loved and most enduring entertainers......

June Kit of the Month......

It's a bit late I know, but this month's offering has been a mammoth task.  I've actually been working on it off and on for several months and at times have despaired of ever getting it completed but it's done and is now available on our WEBSITE.....

Dressing tiny dolls is definitely a challenge, but micro wigging is guaranteed to have most people tearing their own hair out!

My distilled experience of 25 years of micro wigging is now contained in a 20-page fully illustrated, step-by-step booklet, along with the tools and materials to enable you to create stunning tiny wigs for small scale dolls.

Make your own slideshow design As if all that wasn't enough, during June you can combine a purchase of the Complete Micro Wigging Kit with 3 ready to dress jointed porcelain toy dolls and save £6.00.  This offer also includes a FREE hints and tips sheet on dressing small scale dolls. Hopefully well worth waiting for.........

May Kit of the Month....

I honestly didn't think we'd be able to do it today but with just a few hours to spare we're pleased to announce our May Kit of the Month.....

 The pram and baby kits are available separately, or both together at a saving of £2.00.


Full details are on our website HERE.

As before we will be offering exclusive access to a full length video tutorial for the pram, as well as an optional online Q&A session towards the end of the month. 


I think I might be getting the hang of this......

April Kit of the Month......

Our April Kit of the Month is ever so slightly late, but hopefully all the extras make it worth the wait!

The kit only went on the website yesterday afternoon but already 1/3 of the available kits have gone. As well as the little toy doll  kit (height 1  3/4") dressed in daffodil yellow and pale green, this month's kit also includes 3 additional kits to make a little half scale wicker basket, a bunch of 6 assorted daffodils to fill it, plus, just for fun, 3 teeny tiny spring chick toys. Our kits contain everything you need to complete the project, along with a fully-illustrated, step-by-step instruction booklet. As with all of our Kit of the Month offers, purchasers also have exclusive access to a full-length video tutorial showing how to make all of the items, as well as the opportunity to attend an optional interactive session in our fully-featured virtual classroom, and we also offer full email support until your kit is completed! For full details, or to buy the kit, please visit our website HERE.

March Kit of the Month........

The past few days have been a whirlwind of activity in the Tower House Dolls workroom as I really wanted to get our new home workshop packs ready in time for March 1st.

Which is today.

I've even surprised myself that it is actually ready...... I'm usually a complete doofus when it comes to deadlines.  However my pre-Thame Fair work ethic is still in evidence, so I've been completely focused on the task at hand this week, disdaining the temptations of displacement activity and the Interweb.

*ahem*

So we are pleased to announce the release today of our March Kit of the Month......

*insert anticipatory drum roll here*

Kits are now available to purchase on our website HERE!  

January Home Workshop Pack available now......

I'm delighted to announce the release of our first home workshop pack of 2012.....

Create a free slideshow Full details are on our website and we will be taking orders until Sunday 15 January on a first come first served basis. I'm really quite excited about our new Home Workshop Packs.  We used to offer them several years ago, in conjunction with our one day workshops, but thanks to the march of technology we can now produce a video tutorial and embed it in our cosy virtual classroom, which also has live video and audio links.  This means that students can actually see how the various projects are made AND participate in an interactive online session without leaving the comfort of their home, wherever they are in the world! Not only that, they can revisit the video tutorial whenever they like, and of course we offer full email support on a continuing basis until students have completed their project. We have lots of exciting ideas for miniature projects in the coming year so keep a lookout for updates on this blog and our website. In other news, the friendly countdown timer on my desktop informs me that I have just 40 prep days left before our first (and very possibly only) fair of 2012 at Thame in Oxfordshire on Saturday 18th February.  A quick glance at my 'to do' list of new toys and kits to have ready in time for Thame does nothing to reassure me. I sense a full-on working weekend in prospect....
