A little about me at dim-dom.com

My Name is actually Sharon, but when we were young, my siblings pronounced my name Dim Dom and the nickname stuck. As a child (a real tomboy) I was always tinkering with something, a piece of wood, an airfix model, a go-kart. I hasten to mention that the piece of wood was in fact, my Dad's best pine shelf which I turned into a go-kart. But hey, I thought I was being resourceful. My only regret is that I wasn't allowed to do woodwork at school.

What sets me apart from the other people is not my extraordinary talent or my unquestionable modesty!! But my belief that there is nothing I cannot make or do. It just never occurs to me that I cannot achieve things. Of course, I make plenty of mistakes but that is how I learn.

Although, tragically, I lost my sight many years ago I am still optimistic and I thoroughly enjoy meeting new challenges, over coming obstacles and of course, creating fabulous furniture and toys.

The Farm

I was asked if I could make a farm yard for a friend’s 4 year old daughter Ellie. Using odd bits and pieces of wood I cut out a base for the yard and fields. I built four stables with proper stable doors, a large barn, fencing and gate. The farm was painted by my sisters and apparently a toy has never been so well received or so loved. Now I have been asked to make a pig-sty, field and additional fencing and style. She will soon have her own farm estate.
