It was not long before she became restless, so with the help of her friend Sue they both became dolls house miniaturists, making tiny period hats for dolls houses, selling them all over the world through fairs and even supplying them to Hamleys the famous toy store in London.
When asked to write an article for the Dolls House World magazine, Vanessa jumped at the chance and after completing the first one, became a regular writer for the magazine .
In 1997 she moved again to the west country and worked in a residential home as an activities organiser. Part of her remit was to produce a monthly newsletter for the residents, containing stories about some of their lives.
