I'm making steady progress on the Petite Properties Yule Tide Christmas Shop. I've got the roof to finish, door to add, and more distressing to do. Some of the furniture kits are in the mail and I need to get some wallpaper for flooring and decide if I'll leave the walls white or not. Maybe I can find or make some tapestries to add some interior color. So far, I'm quite pleased with how it's turning out. |

Here's me trying out a dremel on a scrap piece of MDF. Notice the fine motor skills. Luckily, it's scrap. This is an old picture from a few weekends ago (guess I have been a blog slacker). After this, it was concluded that creating the windows on the birdcage with the dremel may not be the best idea. So what I ended up doing was drilling a hole inside the window outline and using a coping saw to cut out the shape. I have been using the dremel to sand/finish them, though. Give me enough time, I could overcome my fear of power tools. Small ones, at least. It doesn't even look like I'm holding the dremel properly...but maybe I'll blame that on the camera angle. It would appear that I've been doing more shopping than crafting. I now have 3 quarter scale kits - the Tiny Townhouse from Sue H., a Crooked Stick Lane (without the shoe) from Suzanne & Andrew's Miniatures, and a Yule Tide Christmas Shop from Petite Properties. Oh, and You-Know-Who found a $10 DuraCraft Newberg dollhouse kit on Craigslist. $10! Now, I just need to convince him to put it together for me :P I finished something! Ta da - Casa Batllo
Well, almost finished...one piece needs re-gluing and I'm sort of planning on adding a cardboard support to the inside. There is an estore but I can't see the paper model listed there. |
