Roll Away Bed: great instructions for the roll a way bed. http://www.kellysdollhouse.cjb.net

Miniature Landscaping: I use the foam insulation panels sold in most hardware stores. They are large, easy to work with, inexpensive and have wonderful texture. I glue them to 1/4" plywood base. I seal the finished elevations with a thin layer of plaster.

Strobe light: Radio Shack (on their web site) sell a small strobe light kit.

Tom and Kari

Strobe: Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but I just saw an "electronic beacon flasher" in Micro-Mark Catalog. You might check their website http://www.micromark.com or call them 1-800-225-1066.

Baby Seat: I recall a NN tip from years ago that looked easy (always meant to try, still on the to-do list!) to make one from the curved section of a gallon milk container's handle cut to shape, with padded interior (felt would work for the sewing-challenged) and narrow grosgrain ribbon safety-belt. You would probably have to glue the ends of the ribbon in first, then slip the "mattress" over them to have a neat look, and maybe would need a bit of putty to weight the bottom so it would stand upright.

Dusting: For a mini-vacuum the best thing I've used is a fan shaped paint brush. I bend it slightly. It's soft and cleans corners.

Deanna

Dusting: I spray my landscaped areas with canned air. For fine or delicate items, I use a sable brush sprayed with Endust.

Take time to learn: I wish I had known to take it slower when I was a newbie. The more I know, the better I get and the slower I get, as I find if I do it slowly, I tend to do it Right. More and more frequently now e.g. at least once a week, I'm able to produce something that is Good, with no flaws, and the pleasure I get from that one thing is far greater than when I would, say , produce 5 things which that man on the galloping horse would have cheered. I realize that finally I am learning to be Me - I was brought up to do things at top speed and perfectly every time (gee, give me a break, huh?), and I missed out on decades of the sheer luxurious joy of simply creating, and creating it well.
