Just in case you were wondering where issue 59 of the downloadable AIM iMag had gone, here are sample pages to whet your appetite. Our editor has had a health problem (say what you like here: raving loony is fine) but has plodded on gallantly and all the pages of the iMag are complete. Now we just need the techno wizard to upload all the pages of the iMag when he returns from a well deserved holiday.</div>

In the meantime, grab yourself a cuppa and enjoy these wonderful snippets from the next issue :)</div>

AIM member Julia Jeffreys of Bear Cabin Miniatures has recently made some tentative steps into the world of 24th scale. Julia's first passion in miniatures is 12th scale 'blackwork' embroidery, but recently she explained that she has been turning her needle to the smaller 24th scale. Shown above are her 24th scale cushions which are a little smaller than a penny coin and below are some of her original 12th scale 'blackwork' cushions photographed on one of her popular reupholstered Victorian style sofas. </div>

<span style="background: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">AIM member Janet Granger has recently launched new little pole screen and
fire screen needlepoint kits for doll's houses. She tells us that the sweet, little kits are </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">great fun to make and will give you hours
of stitching pleasure during the winter evenings.</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br /></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">The pole screens are to be stitched on 40 count
silk gauze and the </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">fire screens</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"> on 32 count silk gauze. These </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">co-ordinating</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"> kits are all designed around the theme of 'the four seasons'. Janet explained </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">that</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"> she already had
the second </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">fire screen</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"> from the left in this line-up below in her range of over
260 kits and that inspired her to design the rest, as she thought that the other seasons could all be represented in
needlepoint, too. </span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">They are all suitable for twelfth scale doll's
houses. </span></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br /></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">The pole screen, when finished, is five inches high, and the </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">fire screen</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"> is 2 3/4 inches high. The </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">fire screen</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"> kit contains a
white metal kit in three pieces to make the frame, and the pole screen kit
contains finely-turned mahogany pieces to make the pole screen. Each kit contains a colour block chart to count the design from (the design
isn't printed on the fabric), a suitable fine needle, generous amounts of
Anchor stranded cotton (floss), a piece of silk gauze and detailed
instructions.</span></span></div>

glued together with a contact adhesive such as Araldite, and then finished with enamel hobby paint, such as Humbrol (not included in the kit, but the colour
used on the model is suggested on the instruction sheet). The pole screens are
glued together with wood glue, and then finished with mahogany wax polish - you
can purchase a Wood Finishing Kit from Janet's website for this, or you
can simply leave the wood in its natural state.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
The Ed team has drawn breath, girded its loins and probably had some wine so now is the time, dear AIMers, to get the next issue of our popular magazine up and running.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
A while ago I suggested a baby theme and this seemed to go down well. Babies as in all creatures small: human, animal, floral buds....following my drift? Cots, cribs, layettes, puppies, kittens, tadpoles, toys...... any more suggestions welcomed. For 55 and 56 – yes we think ahead – we have garden delights, haute cuisine and haute couture lined up.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
I am looking for projects for 54 such as baby doll making, clothing, cuddly toys...... again, ideas welcome.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
As always this is not the whole story of the imag – just a theme so other projects and articles are always welcome. Remember we have the ‘Getting To Know You’ and ‘Blog of the Season’ features for anyone wanting some good free publicising as well as the facility to include one-off features on other subjects.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
Could anyone come up with a feature on the changing style of baby clothes through the years or the history of the nanny? As always help is available with the writing and formatting of such items – just go for it!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
You can contact any of the editors personally or through me <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="color: #222222;">spwatson@ntlworld.com</a> or at <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="color: #222222;">AIMeditors@virginmedia.com</a>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
I need offers/suggestions asap, raw copy by April 1st for formatting by one of the Ed team and formatted (if you are one of the clever folk who can do that) ready for the Ed team by April 10th. An album will be available shortly – please, please remember to include your name, details, contact etc.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
Looking forward to a bulging inbox!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">Pretty floral stitching for the mini dining table!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">There's a couple of new kits on Janet Granger's website this week - a table runner, and matching placemats, which are both to be stitched on 32 count silk gauze. They are in the popular 'Summer Roses' series - deep red and soft gold roses, on a pale cream background - suitable for many eras and styles of dollhouse. Each kit contains stranded cotton, a generous piece of silk gauze, clear instructions and stitch diagrams, a suitable needle and a colour block chart to count the design from. When finished, the runner measures 3 1/2 long x 7/8 inch wide. The placemats each measure 1 3/8 wide by 1 inch high, with enough materials to make four per pack.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">Each kit is available from the What's New page of Janet's website </span><br />
<a href="http://www.janetgranger.co.uk/acatalog/WhatNew.html" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;" target="_blank">www.<u></u>janetgranger<wbr></wbr>.co.uk/acatalog/<u></u>WhatNew.html</a><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">The table runner kit is £12.95, and the placemats kit is £14.95 (to make four)</span></div>

For a while now we have realised that here in PP HQ we are fast running out of storage space, to the point where we are positively bulging at the seams! </div>

So... we have decided it is finally time to have a (much needed) BIG clear out.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As a result over the next few weeks we will be auctioning off most of our unwanted back catalogue of <strong>ex display items</strong> on EBAY!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All the houses that have been earmarked for ebay are the constructed / undecorated ones that were both featured in our instructions and also displayed on the PP stand. </span></div>

<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All the kits contain 32 count silk gauze, plenty of Anchor stranded cotton and a suitable needle for you to stitch with. The designs are counted from a colour block chart (the design isn't printed on the fabric), which is simple to use and easy on the eyes. Instructions on how to finish the kits are included, too. You may want to purchase some Fray Check fabric glue (also available on the website) to stabilise the edges of the gauze before you trim around it.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The long table runner kit measures 3 5/8 x one inch and costs £12.95, the round table centre mat measures 1 3/8 inches diameter and costs £8.95, and each of the set of four place mats measures 1 3/8 by an inch and costs £14.95.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">One of those members, Marianne Cooke is a painter who makes miniature plants and flowers mostly in 1/12th scale. Her aim is to make them look as if they were growing in, or had just been gathered from her own garden, which means they are definitely not florist-perfect! Marianne may add a little crack or moss to the pots, and sometimes they even have a weed growing alongside them. Some flowers may be overblown or still in bud and a leaf or three may be blemished which adds to their uniqueness and delight.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Marianne's contribution to The Dolls House Magazine is a project to make a
Sumac tree in 1/12th scale (with brief additional instructions detailing how to
adapt it for 1/24th). This colourful addition would be perfect for your autumn miniature
garden or in a pot beside the front door. Marianne tells us that it is the first of a number of
projects to be included in future issues of the magazine. If you love plants and flowers but are not so keen on hand making them yourself, why not visit </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Marianne's website or her Etsy shop for many delightful flowers and plants all ready to be placed in your miniature garden.</span></div>

<span style="color: navy; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Sweet Memories depicts a Halloween scene with many children visiting a neighbourhood house. Each child is wearing a costume that is a replica of the costumes worn by my son and daughter over a decade ago for trick and treating. Joining in the fun the old lady giving out the treats is also wearing a mask and so is her cat besides her. The doorbell at the door actually chimes when pressed.<u> </u></span><span style="color: navy; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is also harvest time, the rake leans against the wall ready to rake up the fallen leaves, the wheelbarrow is full of vegetables plucked from the pumpkin patch . and the wood pile is being made ready for the winter to come.</span></div>
