heidiiiii Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I have my two ___ ___ drying as we speak. I have to check later to see what angle they will be put at. I have my ____ all done but I think I am going to change the color of the ____ to white. All the lighting is done so I think I am going to work on the floors today too.

Anna Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Both sides are primed and painted... Still on the floor though drying as I type... It had an interesting idea we chatted about while painting, and it might work with the base we have picked out, will have to see when we do the dryi fitting though. It is soooo wonderful to work with, almost as smooth as Mr LE Arthur Miss Storybook and the Adams are willingly taking a step aside for him, I think Miss Storybook is even flirting a little with Mr S, not sure how Adams is feeling about that we'll see...

Linda, I have been "borrowing" too--I did buy a couple things, but they will fit nicely in other houses I plan to build...I really didn't want to spend too much...but she told me I just had to have a couple pieces...she pretty much demanded it lol Lynette, hope you're feeling better Heidi,you're making progress huh All those _________make me soooo curious, can wait to see all the projects!!

christinee Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I have to agree about the educational part of it all. This weekend I was doing research for my Spring Fling and got carried away looking at the websites and all the interesting information about ___________________. My Spring Fling is all assembled and glued but that's it. I am trying to finish up the Orchid I'm working on then go to the Spring Fling. I have everything all planned out and even did some shopping for the stuff I need over the weekend. I'm so excited since this will be my first contest I'm entering.

Tiamaria Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I sent an email to the Greenleaf store on Saturday about my missing piece. And today I get an email saying that the piece has been shipped! YAAAAAAY!!! What wonderful service! Soon I will be able to put my building together and start FOR REAL! Thank you Greenleaf Dollhouses!! I have a questionto anyone who is wallpapering the upper floor: do you wallpaper the whole room (ceiling too)? I find it hard to visualize with the rounded ceiling...

what2craftnow Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I did touch ups on the exterior today, but that was about it - after 5 straight days of working on it, I needed a bit of a break - tomorrow its back to work. This is going much quicker than I thought it would and thankfully I had most of the things I needed lying around - and that makes DH very happy indeed <I think he's getting real tired of me bouncing ideas off of him though...and he keeps asking me what I plan to do with it when it is finished... > I never questioned him about his monster trucks when he was building those - of course, he never parked one in our livingroom, but he DID "take out" our gas grill when one of the tires got away from him! :lol: Flattened the poor thing! At least my hobby doesn't destroy anything and is much, much quieter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidiiiii Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Still working on bits and pieces. I did do one coat on the exterior yesterday. I think it is because the outdoors are calling me! Spring Fling and Spring are competing for my affections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I did a dry-fit today - I just love this kit, she is so willing to go along with me - and forgiving when I drop her pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynette Smith Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Afterworking my ay through the audio book The DaVinci Code, and the films The Black Dahlia and Little Women (now isn't that quite a double feature! :yes: ) my house is finally ready for assembly! There was a lot of hand detail work needing doing before I could reach this point! I've also gone through a Bonanza marathon and listened to the Other Boleyn Girl and the Boleyn Inheritance while working on this. So I wonder what the next phase of construction's entertainment selection will be. :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin1056 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 well today while he was sulking about his trim i made 4 ________'s to go on the _____ ____'s i also made couldnt resist any longer and threw some of the accessories in there to see what it looked like............well........... stood back n looked............. took a pic and......................omg it looks just as i imagined!!! :thumb: now as well as the pesky trim argument i have to work out how to make the whole thing look like its ________ if i cant do that i might as well not be bothering...its a crucial step to the whole idea :yes: hmmmmm maybe i should of worked that out first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I do love all the intrigue! :yes: The more I research, the more confused I get - I will call a halt to the research (as fascinating as it is), because otherwise, I'm going to get so bogged down I'll never get this ________ _____ done! I think it should be more ______ ______, but also a little _____________ and ___________. How to put these different elements in and still present a cohesive look to it - well, that's my challenge. I think I will run out of time to do all the things I've researched anyway.

Anna Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Rosalind, I do know what you mean about the research sort of taking on a life of its own!!!! :thumb: I have loads of sketches of the interior details that I need to make myself as I can't find it anywhere...

Meguiar Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 This will be my first build and I have three different ideas for what to do with it. I might have to order 2 more kits just so I can try all of the ideas. I live in a small apartment and don't have room for larger dollhouses - these small projects are perfect! Building my first chair and working on a floor plan until it gets here. I love all the enthusiasm and discussion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidiiiii Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I am going to go in major Fling mode this weekend. Starting today I am going to finish the shell exterior. I am finally in the mood. Not saying I was out of the mood but I had so much going on that I could not get any quiet undivided time to just sit and work on it. The interior and exterior are going to be really easy. My work will be with the things I have/have to make and also the grounds of the Fling. I want to build it all in such a way that I can get the most use of my three pictures. Are any of you thinking this way also? I am thinking ahead about how I am going to stage it so that the things I want to be shown, get shown. Three pics may seem like a lot to some people...but to us die hard mini fans..it is not enough! ROFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
