Street Organ and Fairground Organ
Ukulele

This instrument plays quite well.
I purchased the strings but the rest was made from cardboard and wood then painted with acrylic paint. I don't have much musical talent though! |
Pioneer Log Cabin
I have always had a great interest and respect for the American pioneers, of the 1800s. This log cabin is made from canes growing in my garden, and balsa wood. I found a lot of information on the internet and tried to recreate what the log cabins were really like. I like detail to be as accurate as possible.
The out house is a stable which would have been added some time after building the main accomodation. One interesting note is that the children had shoes but would walk to school and put them on only to enter church. WOW how times have changed The ladder was for the children to get to bed, any number up to six in one bed with mum and dad sleeping down below.

This is a model of our home, a bungalow when we first moved in in 1962. We had 3/4 of an acre of grounds at that time and the garden needed much work. It has been a great blessing for our children and grandchildren. The model is made from wood and plastic card with trees made from garden twigs and cotton wool, the pictures show the inside and outside, all made with scrap wood and cardboard
the base of the bungalow is 24" x 24"

I made this skittles game for my great grandchildren. The skittles are made from a broom handle cut up.
