What a cute first project! Welcome to the mini world, Amanda.   I mainly use wood glue and Aileen tacky glue. Have lots of fun.   

I bought some static grass at a show a while back.  But today I just learned that this tool exists.  Am I the only one?  Time 12:10.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUFoK1b2Ck8

Thank you guys. I will keep my  mini eyes on when we walk the doggie tomorrow. 

Oh wow, I didn't realize I had the right roof all along. You guys are awesome. I will give the woodgrain  idea a try since this would be a new test for me.  Thank you for your kind words and suggestions.  To be continued.   L

My heart goes out to you Roxy. 

I thought my tree stump needed to be more gnarly.  A bit concerned about the end result might not look like what I have in mind.... In the mean time, what do you see as the right roof line for this? Thank you for your suggestions.    https://www.flickr.com/photos/54971771@N04/albums/72157689181998821

Thank you guys. The bench is coming back.  Since the tree in the front would need lots of leaves to make it look realistic, I am opting to go with vines instead.     

Gina's blog is a great help.  http://moreminis.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-garfield-dollhouse-blog.html

Work in progress... Going back and giving this shadow box proper attention... Is it looking better?  Shadow box for my mother in law... What would you name it?  https://www.flickr.com/photos/54971771@N04/albums/72157627540738549/with/39229862154/

Now I am watching Youtube of how this is done. I love new discoveries ;) 

I haven't heard of stumpwork  embroidery ( 3d )  until today. Have you?  https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8b/b6/06/8bb606e297c6545d1d5a6f9f66b559ab.jpg

I didn't know about the discount at Michaels... My brother in law's best friend was a buyer for Michaels for 2 decades. She traveled all over to decide/buy for their inventories. She had lots of fun.  Kroger has the senior discountt and also Free freebie Friday. 

Thanks everyone. I put the brush on my Christmas wish list for my husband's family to consider.  Karin-  Wow! I'll test that out. Thanks for the great idea. 

Barb-  I want a real stump house for my garden, too but  I don't have your wood working stills .  Your stump house is looking fabulous; the knitting is so romantic and cozy. 

Sam- Hey we both have the Westville as our first house. Yours rocks! Wow.  I didn't scroll down far enough earlier to study your a big undertaking for the stump houses. All of the nooks and crannies are going to be so cute.    Tracy- Thank you for your kind words.  I am enjoying the pictures from your current Buttercup project,too.
