what2craftnow Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Trying to decide upon exterior look, not sure right now, but we'll think of something... Hugs Oh, Those darn exteriors!!!.... Bricks? siding? paperclay? Tudor? Offbeat? Whimsical? Weathered? Whatever? I'm sure it will tell you Anna. They ALL seem to find their voice somewhere along the line...and then it really is :blahblah1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwcole7 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Been working on my Fling here. Although, no matter how much I have insisted that this will stay small, it keeps growing, and growing..... :swordfight: So many ideas, and so little time (and space) the kit does have it's own mind. Love that about these kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbytsdy Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Finally opened my SF box, did a dry-fit and started marking it up right away... Still not solid on the theme, but now I know what the form of the house will look like! Off to start slicing and dicing... :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Med Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Well I've struggled with inspiration this year. The fling's been in and out of its box and its now back in again. Today however, there is a germ of an idea growing but I so wanted to be unique, individual, surprising and most of all, interesting and this idea is none of those. Its obvious, its simple, it won't be bashed in any significant way, may have a bit of an addition but that will be minor. I'm still scratching my head over it and thinking of ways to make it more interesting but I may be "in" after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine took several turns at being 'this', 'that'...and I finally had one of those "Aw heck...just do it the way YOU like" moments. I don't know if anyone else will 'get it', but I do...and that's all that matters to me. I find that they are ALL unique and surprising in the end, even if some are 'the obvious' or duplicates. Everyone has their own special touchs added, so NONE are really the 'same'. Besides, woman!!...you do such FABULOUS work - it will be awesome no matter what you choose to do, of that I am sure!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Jo, I can see the SF as all sorts of wonderful outbuildings for your Garfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Mine is STILL back in it's box. I just can't "love" any of my ideas. They are all blah and boring and just don't fit my style. Yikes !!!! I just keep reminding myself that we used to do this with the announcement beginning the 1st day of Spring and the whole project done ending on Memorial Day. So, I should still be OK time wise, as long as the lightening bolt that hits me is one that isn't too complicated. I so want to love some of the 11 pages of ideas I created but nope - not happening. Yet ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatColorado Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'm going to try to work on mine this weekend. I guess I'm lucky, the SF just happened to work with an idea I wanted to do for ages. Even if I don't enter, I hope I have a nice project to show when it's all said and done. I've been under alot of stress so I'm having trouble focusing on any one thing: I started the SF, an oil painting, a sock, another sock, finished a sock, and lots of photography.

morgansmith Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Kathryn, I've watched for an update. Hope your sister is improving. Do you knit socks??? Whatever.....socks, knitting, miniatures.........it's therapy of the best kind Our prayers are still with you. Sometimes flinging and praying are perfect together. I speak from experience 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever.....socks, knitting, miniatures.........it's therapy of the best kind Our prayers are still with you. Sometimes flinging and praying are perfect together. I speak from experience We haven't heard anything. No one is answering the house phone or the cell, we've left messages... that's about all we can do. Thank you for caring, it means alot. Y'up, I knit and I knit socks. I'm trying to perfect a heel on toe up socks, I either get baggy socks with no holes or perfect fit with holes. I'm aiming for perfect fit and no holes. I'm playing with the Fling a bit, I just noticed my market stall is a little warped (my fault I'm sure). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I have mine out on my work table now. Why is it that after you dry fit it, the ideas and plans you had change. This kit is changing it's mind right before my eyes. Hmmmmm, now I need a ________ and at least 2 _________ . Looks like I got some shopping to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathyk18 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've never entered a contest before . . .my first try. After tossing around a couple of ideas, I was showing it to my sister (who is absolutely the least craft-minded person you could every meet) and she asked me why didn't I make it a __________________. It was an awesome idea, so hope I can pull it off. I've cleaned up my hobby room and set up the SF. The other houses I'm working on got moved to the closet. I have dry-fit it and am ready to get started; there's just this little thing like an 8-5 job that keeps me away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what2craftnow Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one that this 'change' thing seems to affect. My Fling has changed it's mind more times than I can count now...so mine just may be a metamorphosis, so to speak ...perpetually in progress and longing to be something else.

Minis On The Edge Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Well Chris, what you have must be catching. Since my last post ( a couple of hours ago) it has changed yet again! Maybe I need to create 3 of them ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what2craftnow Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Tracy, I'm stickin' with ONE <she says, stamping her foot>...and like it or not...it WILL conform...<she says.... rather sheepishly>...oh boy, you know where THIS is goin'... This 'resident' and I are at total odds...a true battle of wills. So far...Resident 4 - Chris 0....<heavy sigh> This "the customer is always right' stuff is just...&^$#*!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (Not to mention...expensive!) <double sigh> Methinks I have opened Pandora's Box unknowingly and unleashed a small monster......who thinks money is no object, and 'traditional' is highly over-rated. Have decided I am just along for the ride...and am merely the means to an end. SO BE IT! AMEN! I SURRENDER.........(someone, PLEASE, remind me of that 'surrender' part when I complain..again.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I totally understand what you mean. I need to stop resisting and surrender too :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgansmith Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Okay fine. My build just keeps arguing about one thing. But it's a big thing. So I sit and stare at what I have so far and wait, and wait, and wait for a solution. I can surrender. Sure. But..........the problem I'm seeing is that we all KEEP surrendering, then the silly kit changes ITS mind! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
