I meant to finish this project a year ago! I started it Oct 8, 2016 and probably got it 80% complete before Christmas last year, and then....it sat...and sat....and sat...until this past week, when I completed it. </div>

O, I know, it has been a LONG time since I've updated this blog!!!! But quite honestly I don't know how some people manage to be productive AND update blogs of what they have done. I not only need a few more hours in every day, I also need more energy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, where have I been for the last 7 months? Imagining, designing, and creating this little gem I call Audrey's House. It is a submission into the Miniatures.com Annual <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Creatin' Contest. </span></div>

When I originally saw the kit I had to use, I almost decided not to participate this year, quite frankly, I'm not a fan of modern style houses like this. With that being said, I immediately knew that if I was to work with this kit, I had to change the front of it to, well, the front.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After many searches I came up with a plan to modify the kit to look more like this:</div>

One nice thing they have started to do with kits in the past few years is make them 360' kits, meaning fully enclosed. This is really nice as less dust accumulates in them, and from any angle, you can view the project. I realize now I don't have pictures of the other 2 sides, but the left side of the house is a mirror of the right, it has 3 exact same windows in the same spots. The back wall in the original kit was a full wall, I added a large picture window to it, I wanted to be able to look all the way thru the house from any view. Also, lots of large windows gives it that light sunny feeling I was going for. </div>

As a finisher of projects, I hate to share projects before they are 100% complete. Don’t get me wrong, I sometimes will share teaser pics, or pics of projects from within a project, because really when you think of it, 1 entire house project is made up from many many small inside projects ….was there a pun in there someplace? The draw back to not sharing much until a project is done is that sometimes all that’s left is something small (again with the puns) and yet I for some reason procrastinate on that 1 last item. Well this project was completed with everything done except the upstairs hall table and chandelier, about a year ago! In fact, it went into storage for the move with only those 2 items needed. It happened kinda on purpose, I felt the house would pack better and be safer if I didn’t put the chandelier in until after the move. But somehow hanging the damn chandelier took 7 months! Well I finally took a little time, by little time I mean like an hour, because nothing ever seems to just take “a little time”.</div>

To give proper credit, this house was built from a kit made by Petite Properties, as was quite a bit of the furniture in it. If you aren’t familiar with them, check out their website www.petite-properties.com and their blog, they make absolutely wonderful kits in 1/24, 1/48, and 1/144 scale. They also have a line of paints that are crazy awesome! No, I’m not affiliated, I just happen to be a great customer (read addict of all their products, if they’ve made it, I’ve got it, used it or will be ordering it with the next order)! </div>

I think I may have shared when I finished the outside at one point, because it was the 1st thing I finished. I struggled with the roof, wanna know why? Cause I suck at following directions! So Petite Properties put out a book a few years ago, it’s a wonderful source for learning techniques for finishing houses (buy it, read it (better then me) and you will be happy). Anyway, there is a section in there that talks about how to do the roof, there are also instructions that come with the house on how to do it, but when I decide to tackle part of a project (like this roof) sometimes I get too excited, and then I look at the instructions and I think ‘Well that’s too many words to read, I just wanna do!’ So I skim it, then figure I can do this my own way, and sometimes it works and sometimes I think it would have taken me less time to read the damn instructions and just done it right! Or instead of doing dumb stuff like surfing Facebook to see who’s complaining about what, I could have used that time better and read some more of that book so I know for next project. Back to topic…what was the topic? O’ ya. Did I share the outside front at some point? Here it is again if I did. </div>

One of my favorite features I did on this house was to add the iron balconies.<br />
After much research online I came across WildHareModels.com<br />
They have balconies and other items, I believe they make them for the train world, but they worked great here, all I had to do was solder some pieces together, which got me doing something I want to learn and do more…solder….then I spray painted them. I love the detail! FYI, the brick is painted on, I used a 1:48 Bromley brick stencil.</div>

I like to do the entire inside walls, ceiling and floor before I put a house together. I find it’s easier then working in tiny spaces. Here is how I tackle that (I should take pics along the way..if your interested in that, let me know and next project I could show step by step pics…actually I have an upcoming project that I was considering blogging from inspiration to completion how I work…maybe you might enjoy that) for now, I get the kit, and I dry fit it together. I place the walls where I think I want them and then I take a sharp pencil and mark where the walls and ceiling hit, then when I take it back apart there is a gap, between where say the 1st and 2nd floor goes, and I wallpaper to the middle of the gap, that way it’s 100% covered and perfect. The floors are easy, just go to the edge on the sides, but just past the pencil line a snitch if your using a flooring that has any depth to it, as will effect your wall. Once all the walls, floors and ceilings (don’t forget the ceilings, I just paint mine) are done, you can put it all together permanently. I then like to add trim, it gives depth and realism. </div>

I’m a multi-tasker, so usually I’m working on multiple things for a project. I usually start with whatever i’m most excited about, and for this project I knew from the minute I laid eyes on the bare wood kit pictures how I wanted the main floor to flow and what I wanted for a kitchen. So while I’m waiting on some steps to say dry…or come in the mail because I’ve all of a suddendecided something is needed but I don’t have the perfect thing one hand, I am always working on furniture, etc for the project. So the kitchen came first! I was going for a mix of updated yet french inspired. Like my own home, I’m not a fan of clutter, so I tend to make my projects more “clean”. If you were to walk in my home and I’m not currently cooking or cleaning, you would find it like this. While some say it’s missing “details”, I say it’s real for me. </div>

I’m kinda in love with this nursery! I always find it odd how I get inspiration for a project and if it’s got kids or babies room in it, I just get a sense that it should be boy or girl, and this house just needed to be a boys. Maybe it’s all the pinks in the other parts of the house, I don’t know, but I had found this wallpaper and since my husband and I are both in the aviation industry, I just knew an airplane themed room was coming at some point. </div>

Here is one of my downfall’s, when I’m sitting around watching tv (which isn’t often, but often enough) I can’t just watch tv, I have to be doing something else also. Usually it’s surfing the internets for stuff I don’t really NEED. Well one day last year I was on Craigslist doing my normal searches and up pops an ad for a partially built dollhouse, the same exact dollhouse still in the unopened box, a box of cheaper furniture and some misc supplies…I think everything was like $25. So of course I jump all over it, with no need or even real desire for it, as it’s a tab and slot house and not to be all “mini snobby” but I hate working with tab and slots; and with houses put together already..in fact there is a Hofco shell sitting in my garage still!!!! Anyway, I pick it all up. Then inspiration hit, I have a niece that lives close by and she’s like 2.5, too young for a real dollhouse but I could use the partial built house as a “challenge” for myself. My goal was to finish it as quickly as possible (knowing it’s going to probably get demolished by kids (she has 2 older brothers) and as cheaply as possible. So to my stash I went to see what supplies I could sacrifice. </div>

Since the house was glued together, I decided to start by spraying the entire house with paint, that way I didn’t need to use wall paper on all the walls and since it’s going to be used for play, I thought this may be a good way to “seal” any sprinters there might be in the wood. I guess I forgot to take a picture when it was completely sprayed...oops</div>

In my stash I found enough shingles for the roof, so I did that. And since keeping costs at a minimum is the goal, I decided to brick the outside. I have the Bromley stencils, so all that was needed is some wall patch. I like wall patch because it’s the correct consistency to work with and I added paint directly to it, thus saving time painting it. Also the brink adds stability to the house, again important with kids. </div>

1 Challenge I found was I had a kitchen set I had found online (another tv surfing purchase) but when I put it in the house the cabinets went over the windows, so to conceal them and add some detail, I made a little flower box for the window and added their last name to it, thus personalizing it also. </div>

For decking I again went to my stash and found some iron on wood strips, I’ve used this product lots and always been happy with the result. It’s in the lumber section of stores and it’s meant to iron on the edge of wood to give it a finished edge. It’s super cheap, easy to work with and stains or paints well. I chose to not put the railing around the deck so little hands could easily reach in and play/</div>

In the kitchen I modified the clearance kit I had by cutting off some of the uppers over the stove, then I painted the counter tops and stove top and added a border. I had the wallpaper in my stash and the floor was meant for a previous project that never made its way out of the planning stages. As you can see I ran into some issues with the paper, part of the drawback to working with a house put together, but since it’s not meant for show, but for play…who cares. </div>

In the living I had my 1st real expensive for this house, I had to purchase a piece of wood flooring, but luckily there is a Hobby Lobby close to me, so I went and used the 40% off coupons to buy a piece of flooring. All of the furniture in the house were items from my stash that I’d either accumulated on clearance or that came with this purchase. </div>

All in all this project took me maybe 20 hours (compared to most projects). The biggest time spent was on the roof and brick siding. And the best part, I took the unopened kit, put it on Ebay and sold it! And it not only covered all the items I took from my stash to do this, the original $25 and the wood flooring….so really it was completely free except for time. </div>

My little niece Millie seemed to really like it….and I found out immediately it was built well, as it got stood on within about 15 mins :) Not sure if it’s still in one piece today or not (I gave it to her about a year ago) but it doesn’t matter, it was a great challenge for me, and proof that this hobby doesn’t need to break the bank. </div>

I actually can explain...We moved...AGAIN! But this move was different then the last 4, this move is to put down roots and actually have a permanent place to call home! But once again, this move required everything we own to be put in storage for months while our new home was being built, and then once we moved in, we actually had quite a bit of remodeling to do (Yes you read that correct, we built a new home and then remodeled it immediately) For anyone that has ever worked with a track home builder, they refuse to do much modifying, their options for coverings are limited and extremely expensive! So we took the build and remodel mode, so from Aug of 2016 for 6 months instead of working on houses in scale form, We were actually working almost full time on a 1:1 scale home for my husband and I. I won't bore you with tons of before and after pics or explaining all the changes we made, but I will share what some of it looks like now: <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My husband helped me make this table, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we have built quite a bit of the furniture we have, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
both because I like things to fit the space perfectly </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and because I'm cheap....example the inspiration for this piece</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was a piece I found in a catalog, it was much shorter and about $1700,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We built it to fit the space perfectly and it cost us under $300 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(it's the caster wheels that made it that expensive)</div>

My entry is close to complete. I have bench on the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
other wall I need to finish, maybe I'll remember to update wth a picture, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it was made using a headboard. The table was another custom build, the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
inspiration table was again much short and about $700, we built this</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one for under $90. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The 9' Cross was a random idea I had, it is hard to see but it has many of the names of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jesus written on it. It still needs a thorny crown around the top, but it's</div>

I first introduced this project on Day 102 which was 3/25/2014, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and at that point the entire shell and store fixture's were</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
done and the electricity was in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Prior to that I posted some items that I had already completed that winter/spring</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for this project, the vintage LP's, the napkins, some journals</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and Sophie's Sweets, so knowing all that was done, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
why did it take me too song to finish this darn project?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Somehow it just always kept getting pushed to the back while</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I worked on things I was more interested in at the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But now, I'm on a mission, I want to finish as many as the projects I </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have going as possible, before I start another one, so today</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sat down in my studio and didn't let myself quit until it was done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With no further ado, I give you</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Something Old, Something New</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I set a goal for 2015 and that goal was to finish </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 project in each of the scales I now work in, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which are 1:12, 1:24, 1:48 and 1:144</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and today I'm proud to say I've accomplished my goal! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd like to share with you my 1st ever project in 1:24 scale.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must for the sake of credit, tell you I did not paint the outside</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of this house. When I received the house, the siding of the house was painted red</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the 3 main walls were permanently in place, other than those</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
items, every thing else I did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I've become a fan of adding outside landscaping</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to give my projects more of a "complete"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
feel, also, I'm incredibly in love with the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Porsche Cayenne in real life, but could never</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
fathom the real life price tag, so at least now</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my 1:24 scale family can fulfill my Cayenne dream.</div>

I absolutely love how the kitchen turned out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could live in this kitchen!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used kits from Petite Properties, which is one</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of my favorite companies, I modified the refrigerated</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to make it modern and used 4 lower cabinets</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to create the huge center island. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The barstools I purchased off Shapeways, they are 3D printed, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've used a few 3D printed items in the past, in 1:48</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
scale, and was equally as happy with how these</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
turned out. I have almost the exact same ones in my real</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
like kitchen. They took to being spray painted wonderfully.</div>

All in all, I have to say I sorta fell in love with 1:24 scale</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thanks to this project and it really surprised me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recall almost 30 years ago going into a dollhouse</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
shop and seeing some items in 1:24 scale and thinking</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
how wrong they looked, and over the years</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I never found it appealing, in fact when I purchased a massive lot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of dollhouse items over a year ago, and in that lot was </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 houses with just the outsides painted and 1 kit still in the box, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had such little interest, that I sold the unopened kit for very little </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
money, a decision I now regret. But moving ahead, I </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have that 2nd house, which I've already repainted the exterior, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and will be working on the interior in the coming year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoyed this rather in-depth look into my </div>

1st 1:24 project and my goal accomplishment for 2015.</div>

The quarter is for size reference only. This project doesn't really "fit"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a scale, the truck is roughly 1:87 scale, however everything </div>

inside is 1:144 scale. It seems to work though, </div>

This little 1:144 scale home started life as a opening house</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which was going to have a completed interior, however </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I F'd up the interior by putting the second floor in the wrong</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
direction, but instead of scrapping the entire project, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to just finish the outside and maybe someday</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can use it in something else as is. </div>

Wow, I can't believe I not only haven't completely a finished project in almost a year, but I haven't even updated to include anything I've worked on...in my defense, the last 10 or so months have been a bit crazy...crazy as in last night I slept in my own bed for the 98th time in all of 2015!! Yep you read that correct, 98 nights out of 302 I've been home. Between work and then a move from New York to Michigan, and our new home wasn't complete at the time we moved from NY, so we spend 8 weeks "homeless" so I guess it's kinda more amazing that anything got done at all this year!! But alas, it did!!! and just in time for Halloween. Hope you enjoy my version of a haunted house. </div>

This project has kicked my tush soo many times, I may be permanently bruised!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This project started life as a "garage" kit, that was offered via Miniatures.com for their annual Creatin' Contest. I picked the kit up in MN, as it was shipped to my daughter. I carried it home to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and started working on it. My inspiration for an old country church came from my good friend Kara, I'm not sure how it struck, but when I told her my idea, she was soo helpful in research. Country churches, barns, etc always remind me of Kara. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first few months progress was fairly slow, as any supply I decided I needed had to be gathered when I made trips back to the U.S., which happened about every 6 weeks. Then at the end of July, we learned we were moving back to the U.S., so I carried the 'in progress' project back to the U.S....SO this Old Church has literally been all the way around the world!</div>

Towards the end of October I decided to make a pretty significant change in the project, I originally had 1 side of the building completely open, and there were 3 wall sconces and 2 candles...but I decided I didn't like the direction it was going, and changed it to a completely enclosed building, with a removable roof. However this meant I needed 3 more lights. Well I had 1, but luckily I found and ordered 3 more, because during the final week, when it was all coming together, we had soo many issues with the lights, that 2 ended up being replaced. To say both my husband and I had frustrations during this process, is an understatement! </div>

So I've been working on a project for roughly 11 months, it's for another contest, which I like because it forces upon me a deadline to finish, and also I kinda like the forced starting point, because quite frankly my list of things I 'could' work on is OUT OF HAND! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However this project has been kicking my ass! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You might recall that I started this project while living in Malaysia, which always meant I needed to plan for the right supplies and shop for them while on trips back to the U.S. At one point I was literally at a holt because I couldn't find white acrylic paint in Malaysia...seriously! Then we moved back to the U.S., so I hand carried this project in the works back with me, however my studio was in transit for over 8 weeks, and with moving, etc. things took forever to get back to working. Well now everything should be going smoothly and I should be enjoying finishing this project, and well, everything that could go wrong, just about has! At about 60% complete I decided to make a fairly large change, which required a few more lights (that are of course discontinued) but I managed to find them thanks to many emails and maybe a stroke of lucky. Then I realized I purchased 1 more than I needed (apparently I can't count) which ended up working in my favor, as 1 didn't work, of course I realized it after I already painted it. So I painted the spare and seemed back in business. Except then I realized that I didn't have enough siding, as I added a whole wall, so I ordered more, waited the 3 days, got it, and it was different. Tried it anyway, didn't work, pulled it all off and then got about hunting for the right stuff, finally found it....in California thanks to my husband, unfortunately he won't be coming home with it for about 10 days and I have to leave for a work trip in 2. So that will have to wait. O' these are just some of the woes of this project...but the final one came yesterday when I went to move the whole thing so I could work on something else (a diversion project) and while moving it, the front door which isn't permanently attached yet fell out and crashed onto the floor into a dozen pieces.....so ya! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well in 22 days it will either be done or it won't...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
either way, I'm ready!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So a diversion! That's what I needed!</div>

In just a few short hours, this 1:144 scale project was complete!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess that's one of the things I like about the smaller scale, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's a not only a nice diversion, but the completion time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is far shorter....sometimes hours vs. months</div>

we found him a new job, we spent roughly 6 weeks 'homeless', </div>

all my completed projects, and currently it is all</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in a container somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean between Malaysia and New York</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(hopefully safely!) We still won't receive our items for another</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2-3 weeks or so, but we have moved into a beautiful new </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
condo and I have enjoyed furnishing it and creating a few studio area to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
work in (pictures of that to come :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What else???? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
O'ya, we had another Grandbaby on July 1, a girl this time (YEAH!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and my son that is engaged bought a house...so I guess even if it wasn't for my studio</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
being packed and on the move, not too much Mini'ing may have happened over the summer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
anyway, but who knows, Life is always busy, and yet I do find time for my hobby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are reading this, your probably more interested in my miniature life, since that's what brought you here to begin with, so with that being said, here is something fun I would like to share. I was surprised to find Sophie's Books & Coffee in the September issue of The Dolls' House Magazine. I've included the article below since I know many in the U.S. don't get the magazine. Hope you enjoy reading it, and maybe, just maybe you will see what a great magazine it is, and consider subscribing. I personally love the mag, so I'd love to see it have a bigger presence in the U.S. If you have a iPad or tablet you can get it delivered right to your newsstand, which is what I do....no matter where I go, I have hundreds of magazines with me, and combined they all way less than a pound :) </div>

Along with my new studio space, I've recently placed a large order with Petite Properties, which I'm hoping arrives quick as I have very little to work on right now....so stayed turned hopefully soon for pictures of the studio and hopefully a review of Petite Properties new line of paints and a few new 1:48 scale projects that I'm going to attempt....I know, I know, I said I wasn't going to do 1:48 anymore, but I lied!</div>

I finished this 1:144 scale street of shoppes recently, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and thought I would share it with you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again the learning process continues.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it seems every project I do I learn something new, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sometimes it's the things I love and sometimes it's the things I hate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This project very much included both!</div>

I finished this 1:144 scale bathroom last week, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it kinda has a retro feel to it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose not to finish (paint, stain, etc)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the outside of the box, I think it looks great just the way it is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or course as I do with every project, I made a few mistakes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the biggest 1 was attaching the ceiling and forgetting to put the clear</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
front on, so it's not exactly and 'permanent' as I would have liked it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Live and learn and start another project to mess something up on :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I thought I would try my hand at a 1:48 scale house, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
space in our little condo is getting a bit tight, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I thought maybe this was the answer until we have more space.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So far, what I've learned, and hopefully this isn't taboo to say, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I'm not a huge fan of quarter scale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not 100% sure why, I like the look of my project, and I </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
like how it's turned out, I just don't feel as passionate about it </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as I do my 1:12 projects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BUT, I set out to do this project, so finish it I will....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spoiler alert though...it's not 100% complete yet, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still need to landscape and do some exterior details</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
however I don't currently have the supplies to do</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what I want, so for now, this is where it sits....wanna see?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Look below :) </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the outside, close to complete....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought it was complete, then I saw the pictures and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
decided flower boxes are needed, at least on the 2nd floor window.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to do the short roof in a copper, just for something different.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This kit is from Petite Properties, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(it's actually a corner shop kit, but I like it as a house) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
however I've modified it a little.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kit comes with a complete back wall and a removable front, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recut the back with the cutouts and made the front permanent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like what I consider a "traditional" back open dollhouse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finished the openings in back rough, meaning I painted them,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I felt this way fit the style of the home, it's obviously an old house,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
therefore it wouldn't be perfect.</div>

Majority of the furniture was made using kits from Petite Properties also, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then I added the accessories I liked best. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most of the pieces I did not paint, I personally like the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
look of the unfinished edges and the 'burnt' of the laser cutter on the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pieces. </div>

The kitchen is difficult to photograph, there isn't much room to get the camera in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since this is about as messy as I let my real life kitchen get, this is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as 'accessorized' as I see this kitchen getting.</div>

Hope you enjoyed my first quarter scale house, </div>

the interior is complete in my eyes, now it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just needs landscaping....</div>

The Dolls' House Magazine has chosen another of my projects to feature on its</div>

cover for June as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I know not everyone in the world has access to the magazine, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in fact I just spent 4 weeks in the U.S. and was sad that I couldn't find a copy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
anywhere, I will once again share the article here for you. </div>

For my sanity I declare 2 things...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A) George and Annabelle's house is as complete as I intend on ever making it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2) I shall never again in my lifetime work on a tab/slot kit!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, getting back to talking about G & A's house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was the 1st project I started that snowy night a few years back that got me back into</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
miniatures. It was a kit I had purchased from the goodwill for very little, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and if you really want more info on it, go all the way to the beginning of this blog </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(as in when I created it) and you can read more story on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My inspiration for this home was a couple I created, George & Annabelle. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They got their names because at the time I started this my husband</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I were newly married (not my 1st time :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and we were trying to conceive, and the names we had</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
chosen for our future child was either George or Annabelle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well that child never came to be, but the memory of that dream is with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my little imaginary couple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is G & A's first home, their starter home :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's an old house they chose in a great little old</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
neighborhood, and although it needed lots of work, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they purchased it, and then as money allowed, they remodel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You'll notice the walls aren't perfect, in fact in many places they look</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
quite old, and it's obvious that many many coats of paint have</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
been applied over the years to this old house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The textured wallpaper that some previous owner decided to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
put up and then paint over is downright nasty in spots, but</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Annabelle knows that eventually she and George will</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
find the time, energy and money to either replace it or repair it better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For now, it's fine, because it's theirs and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they love it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a bit more of how I imagine G & A feel about the house:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCJy2X3hcgiD9_iOD2M4RTdjmTGTIMF9DOmGBqCh8cNr6_S0Pa2Nn2MU2t4L_RAVhNLlWhLbKrLvGaVj1I1QyUN2deL-zS0GKQNassGu0jz-h402naOyVXUKtWWk2oIqd_vceoG6ygThdw/s1600/DSCN3916.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCJy2X3hcgiD9_iOD2M4RTdjmTGTIMF9DOmGBqCh8cNr6_S0Pa2Nn2MU2t4L_RAVhNLlWhLbKrLvGaVj1I1QyUN2deL-zS0GKQNassGu0jz-h402naOyVXUKtWWk2oIqd_vceoG6ygThdw/s1600/DSCN3916.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before they closed on the their 1st house, they </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
made the previous sellers put a new roof on, so you'll notice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
nice new shingles, some even still show a little </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
chalk mark from the roofer's. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(this roof is made from real shingles from our house, we cut each</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one to size and my husband patiently worked with me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to make it as 'real' as possible"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The home was built on a slab, so when they discovered the original </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hardwood floors were rotting, and they couldn't afford to replace them, </div>

G & A decided to take a much trendier approach and poured</div>

their own concrete floors on the ground level, then </div>

The kitchen is a mix of old and new.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily the kitchen sink (which Annabelle fell in love with </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Annabelle saved money by painting the cabinets, but</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
shortly after they moved in the old fridge died, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so they upgraded to a new fridge.</div>

The original hardwood floors on the 2nd floor were in really good condition, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so George surprised Annabelle while she was away on a business trip</div>

by sanding (by hand) the bedroom floor and refinishing.</div>

The floors in this room were just ok, so Annabelle decided to paint them a </div>

soft white (almost like a wash)</div>

As you can see, some of the floor boards are a bit warped and weathered,</div>

The dog.....well he's the neighbors, but he's taken a fondness to </div>

how the sun hits G & A's patio, so he's often found</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
relaxing there. It's nice for George, as he loves dogs, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but with a small home and a baby now...well </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it just doesn't work for him to have his own yet. </div>

Here is sorta a sneak peak, but not really :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've just completed the "building" portion of this new room box, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's an eclectic boutique which is named</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Something Old Something New</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Bric a brac for those with discerning taste</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's my 1st building to ever have electricity in it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still need to add the sidewalk, which will be featured on it's own separate board, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
making it possible to change out the sidewalk either for seasons, for ease of packing and moving, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or to accommodate a sidewalk that can bring together multiple shops</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see the inside is very eclectic in fixtures and features.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now the work of making all the products for the shelves and displays</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(which as you've already seen, I have started a little on).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoy this little sneak peak into this project, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
don't get too excited to see much more on this one for a while, between </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
travel and another project for a contest I need to start, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it will stay as is for quite some time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
O' and ya wanna know the coolest part about this project?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Almost everything used for this project was left over pieces from </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
other stuff, or just items in my stash of clearance stuff, so I have less than </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
$60 into it, including the lights!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love budget projects :) </div>

After many years of admiring 1:144 scale and then saying </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm never doing anything other than 1:12 scale....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well you saw (or maybe didn't see) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mae's Flower shop (1:48 scale shown on Day 90) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I did a few months back, that was my 1st (and still only) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1:48 scale project I've ever done. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess you could say "I changed my mind"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or those darn adorable little projects and kits enticed me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to the point of purchase! (and probably madness :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ANYWAY...I have though been working on some 1:144 projects, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and since my supplies here were a bit tight, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I could get a hold of some train model kits, I also</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
did some super quick N and Z scale projects. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These were fun, but took very little time (literally a couple hours each)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and really have no "me" in them, but I figured I'd share them with you anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So without further ado (and in no particular order)...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

You probably recognize this kit </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(seems to be a popular one)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have not furnished or "landscaped" the inside yet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
except for a lonely little potting bench. </div>

This little kitchen room box was my 1st attempt at starting with nothing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made the box from balsa wood (I wouldn't do that again, it's way to soft)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I printed the wall paper, flooring and pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still need to learn how to accessorize in 1:144, it's tough!</div>

The only real personalizing I did was adding the flowers on the windows</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and redoing the shop on the 1st level, the graphics that came with it were horrendous! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I couldn't get it to photograph inside, I took out the shop (below) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so you will just have to imagine peering in </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
through the ground floor windows at this shop.</div>

This itty bitty book was a kit from Robin Betterley</div>

I've wanted to make candy and candy jars for soo long that </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's kinda ridiculous. Well this week, I finally did them...and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will now admit, they were a lot more work than I thought</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they would be, but I'm soo excited with </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the mix of candies' and jars that I came up with.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
need a new one at this moment. But I don't use it as a journal, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use it to make my lists, jot down reminders, remember crazy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ideas I come up with at 3am, etc. I use them like some people use </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
post notes. Don't get me wrong, I love post it notes, but not the standard yellow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I admit, these few took me 2 days to complete, mostly because I kept</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
getting so frustrated with them that I had to walk away a few times.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, not all of them survived....May they RIP.</div>
