Dollhouse update

| | Comments (0)

My dream home is finally coming together. My dream home being my dollhouse. house.jpg

The shingles are finally done and starting to work on the exterior. My dollhouse kit came with wood siding, but we decide to stucco the outside instead. That's what I'm doing in the photo below.

It's a lot of work building a dollhouse.

The fun you can have with some cardboard and duct tape.
Take, for instance this weekend, around 6 p.m., William looks over at me and says what if I made Vincent a tank out of cardboard? Now, there is something you need to know about my husband, whenever he decides to build something it turns out to be this huge production. I said sure but you'll need to get it finish before Vincen't bedtime, which is around 7:30p.m.

The final result:


that I am not.

I really am not a good pumpkin carver. I don't like the smell. I do like pumpkin pie, but not the pumpkin itself.

Here's a sneak peek at the pumpkin that wil be in Saturday's Flipside Weekend section. We are having a pumpkin carving contest, so check out this Saturday's paper for all the details.

Dollhouse update

Here's, the most recent picture of my dream dollhouse...

It sits in my kitchen because it's the only room in my house that is big enough for the construction to get finished.

Ok, it's a dollhouse, but it's still my dream to build it.

Intial construction started a year ago. I purchased the dollhouse kit from a local couple, who still were working on another dollhouse for their daughter.

Here's the front of the dollhouse in an early phase.

This is the back/inside.

Here, I installed the windows to the front of the dollhouse.

Here is one of the end units.

Hopefully, this is what it will look like when it's finished.

I told you I'm a lover of all things cute and fuzzy. Especially these cute and cuddly creations by my co-worker/friend Tracey. (She's the other artist in the Graphics Department)

I know I'm hooked, I bought a handful or so for my friends and family.

I love the colors, patterns, and textures, oh and did I mention they are just so darn cute...
