I messed up one of the attic lights and now I have to remove the wallpaper and re-do the fixture! Well, I have company coming tonite and a family reunion on Saturday. Looks like this house isn't going to get finished this week after all. blargh. Thank you Jackie boy do I understand having the desire to work or finish a project but other things get in the way. I wasn't going to add any electricity to this one because my last project, I cut the wire in the attic accidentally and I was mostly finished with the house. I totally understand your frustration. I wasn't going to even add electricity this time but decided to add the outside coach light which led me to adding outlets throughout the house now Enjoy the family reunion!!

My Miniature Madness Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hello all! Hope this finds you all happy or at least favorably managing life's big and little challenges! I've been lurking, cheering for the successes and praying for the troubles of our wonderful little community. Seasonal depression is already rearing it's ugly head here in the Northwest, so I did what I always do to cheer me up: Bought a new dollhouse kit! This time, something small and maybe, with a little will power, complete-able - The Storybook Cottage. I saw some really cute wallpaper and that's all it took to start full speed dreaming, planning and buying. That makes three in progress, two waiting for me to get inspired again and finish them off, and god knows how many other unopened kits getting more and more p*$$ed that their turn in the queue just got pushed back again. Oh well, that's the life of a mini addict, and if not for the dreams of projects yet to do, I may never get out of bed, lol! Love to you all, and prayers we all keep on keepin' on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 My husband had to make a quick trip up to Washington state and said it rained the entire time. I hear ya about winter blues...autumn is all too short in the mountains and there is already snow up on the peaks. What are your plans for the Storybook?

I hope the thought of a new project with new ideas helps chase away those seasonal blues for you!! Around February and March, I start feeling it too after so much winter here in the Midwest!

WyckedWood Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Tracy, that's going to look amazing when the light hits it Thanks about the flowers, hope the tutorials are helpful to someone.

Yeah I heard from my relatives in MT that the early snowfall is the only thing slowing down the wildfires - the rain and clouds are disheartening, but snow would completely finish me! I am really going to try to keep this one simple with only a couple little structural changes. I need to rediscover the "joy" of making most everything to fill it up. I need a win, and something bright and cheerful to look at! :O) I'm thinking it will be my little escape cottage, quaint and girllie. I hope! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going with a combo of these two papers - they weren't made to go with each other but in my mind they are meant to be, lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have both of those patterns from itsy bitsy but different colors. Mine is the red blue. I Love those two together!

Oh dear, I feel you might be heading to where I was a couple of weeks ago.. One of the only great things about livings somewhere with virtually no seasons.. is SAD isn't an issue.. I like your fix for it though Jodi! Amazing how a little mini shopping picks you up! If you have the room, the more projects the merrier I say. Just give those other kits a pep talk and tell them their time will come. Those papers look so pretty.. just the thing to give you some motivation. And, I don't know what you are talking about with needing a win.. girl, everthing you make is a win. You do fabulous work! I'm always in awe... do not doubt yourself! Here's some more hugs.
