Dalesq Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Well, here is a classic for you - your laugh of the day. .... So, in the end, is it a good idea or not? Hm-m-m-m? Apparently it IS a good idea, so long as you only do it in miniature! :lol: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I think it struck terror in the poor man's heart. :sweat: Like "what on earth is she really up to now?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgansmith Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Selkie, this cracks me up. I am THE SAME. My husband used to tell guests (since my accident I can't rearrange without help) do NOT get up in the night without a light. You never know where you will find yourself or what might happen. If he ONLY wants you to build it in miniature, then he will have to build the life size himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapchap73 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Maybe the furniture rearranging and minis are somehow related. I also love to move stuff around, paint, etc. I'm always looking to shift something around;) Went to Michael's today and I think the clearance aisle may have sparked something good! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlPiper Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 In other words, as long as you don't need a contractor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 In other words, as long as you don't need a contractor? Well, that and as long as it doesn't cost him any money or make him have to do anything. He isn't really the handyman type at all. He's more the brain-iac type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this sound familiar? Eight colors of paint on one wall and 1/4 yd swatches of fabric everywhere. For WEEKS at a time. Waiting for it to speak. For several years I made and sold dollhouses. I took one look at the same kit or three, over and over and said 'I'll paint this one _____', and I did. Somewhere along the way I began listening to the houses instead of pretending they don't talk. Now, my dh's suffer the indignity of wearing samples everywhere until I decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I got some work done on my SF! The floor is scored and stained--a new technique for me--and I'm happy with the result so far. (I wonder if Kellyannmo and I are building the same thing ) I also got busy with my BladeRunner. Love that saw. If I had to cut things with only a craft knife I'd never make any changes, but with the BladeRunner it doesn't hurt my hands and I was able to ...... So there are some new openings in the walls to accommodate the .......... Real progress today! And the house seems to be content with the plan!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterine Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I had a staining mishap, but it actually worked out for the better. The stain I used was old and had coagulated bits of stain floating in it, which I didn't realize until I started...well, then all the pieces meant to be that color had to have the same spotted, ratty stain. But, it turned basswood into an approximation of knotty pine, which was better in the long run. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Ordered some goodies over the weekend. Fingers crossed they will work in this plan. No cuts yet - still need to be sure of my "stuff" fitting in properly before I can cut. It's very tricky with this one. So many ideas and so complicated a floor plan. It seems huge overall, but things aren't fitting in the way I envisioned. Can't wait for some of the accessories to arrive but I need to have patience as some is coming a lo-o-o-ong way.

tappy Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Thanks Selkie & Turtlemoon for the time-finding suggestions... Selkie, your hubby's description "only in miniature" makes your project sound very intriguing! Hope it is coming together well for you!
