  1. I got the pattern from Catcolorado a few months ago. She sent a very close up scan of the quilt she had made and I eyeballed it. I tried to keep my mistakes symetrical so they look deliberate!
  2. Wow! You did an amazing job with that dog! You do beautiful work and your dollhouse is well guarded
  3. Hello and Welcome! Yes, a good bottle of wood glue and a fresh roll of masking tape are musts! Good luck and take lots of pictures!
  4. Hello and welcome, Melissa! You'll LOVE building the Orchid. She's a darling house and an easy build. You can't go wrong with a Buttercup, either. They can be turned into just about anything. Have fun shopping tomorrow!
  5. I've never seen a Dura-Lock assembly either, but a couple of hours? What's the fun in that? Hardly enough time to get to know the kit.
  6. I actually finished this just a little while back and hadn't had the chance to scan it on a computer until now. It is the first mini cross-stitch project I have tackled. I have the bed all picked out for it. Now I just need to sew it to another piece of cloth to turn it into a "quilt". I'm excited about it - next, I want to make a couple of pillows to go with it. I had to make it my avatar (it looks better than that photo of myself). Can you tell I'm just a little proud of it?
  7. That looks so cool! I love the car theme in that room. Nice "paint job" on the beds!
  8. Teehee. Actually, I have made these for a swap before. It was quite a while back, I looked in the swap pictures in the gallery and I guess it was before that album was set up. It was very easy to make. I found some clear straws, and some small wooden disks. I painted two wooden disks red and glued them to the top and bottom of a small section of the straw. I made three cone shaped "flowers" and painted them red and glued a bright yellow bead to the inside of them and then glued three of thesee flowers onto the upper edge of he bottom disk. I think I glued a gold bead to the top and bottom of the feeder and then attatched a tiny string to hang it with. I didn't attempt a bird, but it turned out cute.
  9. Very cute! Those look like they will be a lot of fun to paint. :lol:
  10. OMG! How horrible! I am so sorry to hear this. I hope all the other students are okay. I can't imagine what those kids must be going through.
  11. Nice addition! I agree, the front of that house was begging for a nice porch. :lol:
  12. I'm getting my degree at Tarleton State University, but I'm doing my practicum at a local non-profit organization called The Helping Place. As an unpaid intern, I fit their budget.
  13. If it doesn't all come completely off from the vinegar, you can try to sand that last little bit off.
  14. Did you do the Happy Day dance? Sounds like you hit the jackpot today! Too bad about the one item - hope it turns up soon.
  15. *wondering - if I can get five people in group, can I count that hour five times?* :o
  16. It looks so cuddley! I had a kinda odd thought for curtains. What if you got a big, fat white feather and trimmed it to just the right size and shape for a curtain. It looks cool in my head anyway. :o
  17. I LOVE your theme! I can just see a little Elvis getting ready to marry the couple. How fun! :o
  18. I thought I would just check in today to see how everyone is doing. I wanted my kids to see real snow this year, so we took a vacation to Sipapu, New Mexico over break. Boy, did we see snow! We barely made it to the resort before they closed down all roads to it, and a few days later we had even more trouble getting home. All of the roads we needed to go down to get home were closed. Driving was slow and we had to keep taking different roads and it ended up taking us an extra day to get home. But, boy did we ever see snow! Lots and lots of snow. Did I mention the snow? But, now we are back into the grind and I have begun yet another semester. I am doing my first practicum this semester and am very nervous. I hope I don't screw anyone up! I have to log 150 counseling hours by May. So, *looking at watch* who wants to start? :o
  19. Sorry you're not feeling any better yet. :lol: Hang in there and keep bundled up. Things will get better! :o
  20. I am thrifty, but my husband is not. I always buy store brands and we get a lot of our clothes second hand. I know some people are going to think I'm insane, but I actually used cloth diapers for my daughter when she was a baby. I know that saved a bundle. I am fortunate that I have a mother who loves to by things for her grandchildren. The kids have NEVER had to do without! But as for going a whole year without any new extras? I'm not sure I could do it. It sounds like something I would try, but I know my husband would evenually break down and buy something fun - he's a very impulsive buyer. Those little extras by the check-out lanes get him every time. :o
  21. Here's mine and yes, that's from my drivers license. :o You know, I have at least 8 large photo albums full of my family, but guess how many of the pictures I'm in? NONE, because I took them all! Arg, I hope the kids will be able to remeber what I looked like. Maybe I'll save my driver's licenses and student IDs for them to cherish. :lol:
