Our dolls' house was made by my mother. I got ballet-dancing Sindy, because she had all moving joints so it would be a lot easier for her to climb the hot-water-heater, and it was years before I realised that most of them don't come with jeans, a lumberjack shirt, and a jumper/sweater - she'd handmade them and stitched them to the inside of the box with plastic thread to make them look "real".

Gods I love my mother.
