 THE SUN HAS RETURNED!!!

I am in total celebration of this sunny day

as it seems as if there has been more gray 

and rainy days since my first day off 

last Wednesday

I snapped a photo of the celebration 
as I stepped outside the house..

looking East/NE

as some of those mountains have a dusting 

of snow.

Sadly, I neglected to take my camera 

with me when I drove around town this morning,

as the mountains to the North have a beautiful

white covering.  

The air is brisk and in the low 50's.

Perfect!!

Someone else is loving the day 
and has sought out

a little piece of sun for herself.

Stepping back inside 

I thought I would share this little

'Greeter' 

that is on the entry table.

My sister found her in the 75% off 

Christmas clearance.

She has stood there a few years

and although she holds a snowflake, 

I like to keep her up to greet us as we come in.

 

Look at those skinny, bony, knees.  

What a hoot!!

Now for an old project and a new one.

Some time ago, some of us in the 

Marie Antoinette Mail Art group

had a swap of supplies to make a doll. 

We all, then, were to fashion our own doll to keep.

Well, it has been an slow process to be sure.

However, two nights ago 

I finally gave her some hair.

At this stage it's a wild and crazy 'do'

So I wrapped some tulle 

to keep it a bit more tame

and once she is totally assembled 

and dressed, 

I will do my best to give her a proper hair style.

There is a layer lacquer on her eyes 

which is not obvious in this shot

but it helps them to glisten like they are real.

BTW: you will see a little video clip on the side

bar for Bella & Pip.

It's soothing sounds that I turn on

after turning off the music button first

when Bella & Pip get too noisy in here.

It's like Finch Valium.

They quiet right down and sit next to 

each other and do their love preening.

So cute.

The new project 

has actually been the catalyst for a new blog

I am (crossing my fingers and hoping I can) 

putting together a 1:12 dollhouse

that will be called Faerie Tale Cottage 

which is also the name of the new blog.  

The reason for the blog is to chronicle 

the whole process. 

In the world of miniatures and those creating 

little houses, I found I love it when you can 

see the whole process without sorting through the entire blog.

So over at Faerie Tale Cottage, you will see the good, the not so good, the challenges, 

and the fun of it all.  

I will also have many links to many miniature

sites 

and miniature shopping. (of course)

Just in case you want to join in on 

another obsession.

Mr. J. brought me home a folding banquet table

that I set up behind the couch in the living room.  

Over the table I draped a giant white sheet.  

Not only to cover the table, 

but to help hide the box of supplies

that will no doubt be under the table.  

Of course, as with anything else in the

house, brat cat believes I have created 

another place for her...a place to hide.

This is the 'construction pile'.......daunting!

And these are the directions...

the pretense of ease of construction.

 

Have I ever mentioned that I am not one 

to read and follow directions?

I prefer to look at photos or just simply jump in 

do what seems to make sense, and hope for the best.

MOST of the time it works.
