Starting out wrong!!!!

Grrrrrrrrr......I started building the Buttercup and already made a boo-boo!!! I should have painted it first, now I have to take extra pains to get the window seat painted. But I am really trying to do a good job. I painted the interior in vanilla and the window sills in suede, I am only using a few windows from the kit and am going to try to paint the rest with wedding themes, doves, rings, ect. I really think this was a good choice of shop to do, I can do a lil bit of everything. The dress sh

A name for my Buttercup....

I found a name for my shop with help from everyone on the forum, especially Rosalind (Shy Spirit) and Gayle (bookmarm) whose names I combined. Thank you. My shops new name is "Wedding Belle's Bridal Boutique and Bakery" a big name for such a lil store but I think it will carry it well!!!!!!

Meet Belle!!!

This is Belle, the owner of the shop. Her hands and feet are kinda big but I was having such a hard time with the clay, lol. I dressed her in gray felt and a skirt made of micro-suede. Here is another pic of my room with the doors on (no handles yet).

Working on the tile...

I am starting to work on the tile for the cake side of the shop. I haven't decided if I'm going to grout it yet. LOL, I haven't even painted the outside of the shop yet and already I'm working on the inside. Oh well, it all makes since in my head. I hope to have pics of my finished tile up on monday along with my stucco ceiling. I will work on wood filling the outside next, and trying to decide what colors I want.

Finished Tiles?

I finally finished the tiles. I put tiles with gold entwined wedding rings surrounded by tiles with a glitter gloss coat. It isn't as even as I like but it looks better in person then on camera. I wll wait and see how it looks when finished with the carpet and such, if I decide I can't live with it I can always grout it and that will make it appear more even.
