The House That Jack Built Rose Marie. I've had this forever and decided to build it for my friend's daughter when she came along. However I sat on it for a year after a measurement issue messed up the bay window angles. Grrr.... Now she is four and I'm really trying to get it done for her for Xmas - it required sanding down all the bay window pieces to force them to fit. Hopefully no one will be the wiser by taking a ruler to the front doorway!!

I had to go half-scale AGAIN! These kits seem to only work for me on a large scale! I wanted a butterfly garden and then they offered their stik-built house plan and it made perfect sense to be the adjoining gift shop!

This is my daughter's idea and creation for the HBS contest - An Octopus's Garden!

No help from me - she wouldn't even let me look at it until she was done because, apparently, I try to make too many suggestions.... :D

Some of the costumes I've constructed for Halloweens of yore!

It took forever for this to speak to me. Then once it revealed that it was a windmill, it wouldn't stop talking! The outside is loosely based on the 12-sail windmills at Mykonos, Greece. The inside is a flour mill... I wanted it to have the wrap-around stairs running up to the main gear so I made it half-scale.

Just things I've made here and there...

I didn't think I'd have time for this, but they extended the deadline! I don't have a coin next to it for reference, but the width of the entire thing is about 3 inches....

An homage to the Putt-Putt center where my brother and I practically lived during our summers! It's a mini-mini putt-putt course!

A little something I thought I'd try my hand at!

This is my step by step photo montage for the 2nd Annual Spring Fling contest.
