  1. Tina: I use the hot glue to hold them while a dab of fast grab dries. I used to just use hot glue only, but they can loosen and become annoying.
  2. I don't know what it is, but it is darling!
  3. It's been a rough school year, but I have 11.5 days to go. I have been trying hard to have more of a work-life balance (more recently, before I lost all the gray cells!), and I finished the exterior of the RGT Lighthouse (not giving this away) last weekend. Phew! Also finished my second Arthur and trying to find a home for it. I really haven't had time to catch up on all the posts here, either, until today. So many beautiful creations to see!

    Your brick work is outstanding.
  5. This is great! Kids need to create something - it will build confidence and pique their curiosity. I teach at a middle school and, sadly, we no longer offer consumer science. I have thought about offering an enrichment course for miniatures, but did not want to add pressure to my hobby/ stress outlet - but maybe when I'm retired, it would be something different to do. Please keep us posted on this!🏚️ 📏🔨
  6. Welcome to the forum, Dan. This is the BEST place for all kinds of questions. You can get a lot of ideas from the gallery on this site as well as look for youtube videos and things on pinterest. Maybe once your gift has been unveiled you can have brainstorming parties with the twins' parents (they may be more tech saavy). Anyway, you are about to embark on a fabulous journey!
  7. As I recall, it wasn't easy! I had the tower off and used that area to get some access. It's trying to do things like this when I feel like my hands are gargantuan.
  8. Are these 3 working overtime? This is so cute!
  9. Outstanding work!!! And, I love all the notes in the cubbies of the desk.
  10. Have you tried wetting it with a wet sponge? It kind of softens the paper and then it's easier to scrape or peel off.
  11. Is that Chucky with the witch?
  12. Very nice... can't wait to see the rest of the rooms that go with the floors!
  13. I love this kind of shot - looking into the house and seeing the stairs and fireplace.
  14. What a neat house! It looks like a lot of fun to decorate. Enjoy!
  15. I struggle with stairs, too, and have eliminated them in some houses opting to make more room for decorating. I have ripped out many a staircase and re-worked them. I will say, though, that seeing the staircase has some magic to it even when they are simple (ladder-like). Something else to consider is some kind of false door that suggests or gives a glimpse of a staircase. Either way, the house will tell you if it has to have stairs.
  16. This is so adorable! Lucky kittycat.
  17. I think wainscotting and paneling can be painted different colors depending on the age of the home. I've seen very colorful built ins in pictures of RL colonial era homes.

    I love it! Did you stitch the matching cushions and pillows, too?
  20. I got choked up reading the note from Santa. What a lovely story. I'm sure the house will be a blessing! Enjoy!
