Lony Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Well, many of you might remember me but most probably don't. I have been away for about a year dealing with real life. My husband and I built a new home with our own two hands. Trust me when I say it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but it was so worth it. Now I have an actual office where I can set up my dollhouses and not have to worry about all my stuff everywhere in the living room. I posted some pictures on my web shots page in case you want to take a peek. I am looking forward to having more time to spend on my hobbies and to see my old friends again.

Peggi Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Welcome back and I remember you and the Pepto Palace. Your new home looks real nice you and DH should be very proud and I've always heard that if you could survive building a house together you will stay together.

havanaholly Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hi, again! When you mentioned y'all were building your own house I figured that was where you were, rather than having dropped off the planet. Good to have you back! What are you going to build next? (In mini, that is!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lony Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hi, again! When you mentioned y'all were building your own house I figured that was where you were, rather than having dropped off the planet. Good to have you back! What are you going to build next? (In mini, that is!) I am going for an Orchid. Miss Molly is going to open a bakery as soon as she gets done at cooking school. I think she mentioned that they were decorating cakes today. I will have to keep you posted on her progress. (I am trying to get my clay sculpted baked goods to look kinda like the real thing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeninky Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Lony your real life cakes are OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! The Sea Shell Cake is my FAV and your Wedding Cake... But all of them were wonderful!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Would you ever consider building a scale version of your new home? You would know exactly how to build it, after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lony Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Would you ever consider building a scale version of your new home? You would know exactly how to build it, after all! LOL, you know that is exactly what my husband wants to do. 2x6 framing and all. Our blueprints are even 1:12 scale sooooooooo.... Once winter hits I am sure we will be building another house, thankfully it will be little this time! With any luck there will be less bickering.

havanaholly Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 ASA I read that I had evil thoughts, you could build the mini house to have all the features that YOU wanted in the "big" version & had to compromise away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 LOL, you know that is exactly what my husband wants to do. 2x6 framing and all. Our blueprints are even 1:12 scale sooooooooo.... Once winter hits I am sure we will be building another house, thankfully it will be little this time! With any luck there will be less bickering. How lucky - the blueprints are in perfect scale! Holly's so right - you can build all the "extras" that you desire into the mini. What a wonderful heirloom to pass down in the family!

Minis On The Edge Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 What's Up Lony Dear!! I could never forget you and the Pepto Palace (Her Pierce she named "Pepto Palace" and she made it for her mom in like 4 weeks & she electrified and wallpapered it AND it was her first house ever)!! I Love your bakery goods!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 And Tracy left out the most important of Lony's claims to fame, it's the Pepto-Palace because <drumroll followed by trumpets> it's bismuth PINK!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hello and Welcome Back! You don't know me either because I am also fairly new! Old, but new!
