My husband is my "wood guy" since I just DON'T DO WOOD! It took him years to understand this, but after some disasters, he is now a believer. He is a problem solver and comes up with ingenious ideas for my projects.
One of his greatest ideas was the electricity on my large dollhouse. He used hard wire and drilled access holes through the walls up from the floor or down from the ceiling of each level. In order to reach the outlets in each room, he then drilled through the wall into the "wire run" and threaded through the wire. For more of an understanding of this project, go to Wiring on my Dollhouse page. He also designed and built the entire dollhouse for me.
My daughter is a hair color specialist in South Beach, Florida. She is a single gal and she loves that area. I should have realized when she was a child that she would be in the "hair biz" because she cut the hair off every doll she ever had. She also did some rather ingenious things with her own hair when she was a punk rocker. She was named top colorist of Miami in a Florida magazine, Miami Metro and has write-ups in the fashion magazine, Allure, InStyle, and Cosmopolitan. She recently changed salons and is now at Oribe Salon located in the South Beach (Miami). To see her section of the Oribe website, go to Oribe Team - Laura.
My son is a graphic artist and works in website development at Graybar Electric Company and does wonderful stuff. You can visit his own website (Midnight Toast) and see examples of his work.
