While I got a lot done, the house still seemed pretty bare at midnight tonight. I took pictures anyway, but they did not turn out well. So I will be editing this post first thing in the morning, hopefully with a more full house and decent pictures. For tonight, here is a picture of the […]

The dollhouse, reinvented
When the original deadline was at hand, I shoved a bunch of junk in my dollhouse because it was the right size and it made it look like a real house. Then after the deadline was extended, I wasn’t really motivated to work on it much at all, because it was ugly. So with the […]
Designing ladders is harder than it seems
In spite of Billy Cundiff nearly ruining our day, we did make some progress on our bedroom loft. We started the day like most Sundays: standing in the hardware aisle at home depot, just staring. Eventually, we did come home and I got all my boards cut for the built in bookshelf. (And built some […]
As ready as it’s going to be today
Apparently, today wasn’t supposed to be the deadline after all? But we haven’t had an update yet from Emily, so I will go ahead and share my very unfinished house. Sorry about the bad pictures, it’s dark here and the lighting in our real house isn’t that great, so I had to use the flash. […]
Slow going
I’m about half done with the dollhouse as of this afternoon. Way back on December 1st, I ordered a toilet, fridge, oven and dartboard. Even though they were all in stock, and shipped Priority, I didn’t get them until yesterday. But still, I was so excited to get them and tore into the box. They […]
Teeny Tiny Accessories
The big stuff was starting to get frustrating, so I’m taking a break and working on fun stuff today instead. Since hubby says he already has his dream job, his Mini Me gets to be an engineer too. At least in this version of the house. Some of his desk accessories are ready. Yes, he […]
These sofas are killing me
I tried to re-upholster the original sofa. I did a really crappy job and don’t know how to fix it without taking it apart and starting over. Never bothered making the seat cushion. So I made one from scratch, which was easier than I thought it would be. But apparently I need a lot of […]
Done for the week
I went back to Michaels and picked up more cabinets to take apart. I came home with new flooring for the bathroom as well, they’re little mother of pearl tiles from the mosaic section. I wasn’t really happy with the original “tile.” The new tiles are way better, and I’ll be even happier once they’re […]
I love Michaels
The other day I picked up a BUNCH of mini cabinets for the dollhouse at Michael’s for only $1 each(!). They had scrolly trim on the top and bottom, but I removed that, it’s not the look I’m going for this time. I think I will try to turn the first one into a […]
