I haven't had time to post about my progress!

I've:

- wired the house

- put up the wallpaper on the first floor

- painted the bay pink and glued it in place

- glued down the flooring

- traced a hole in the ceiling paper for the lighting and glued the ceiling treatment in place

- wired the lamp through to the second floor and soldered it to brads set in the tapewire

- put flooring on most of the second floor (except where I need to get to the tapewire for the outdoor lighting

I've also stained the trim for the insides of windows and doors. I'm using the outdoor trim for the main entrance and will use paperclay 'stone' to frame the outsides of windows. I did sketch up my plan for that but haven't digitalized it yet.

I got my order of bricks for the stove alcove, BUT I somehow completely misread the depth on the bricks (thinking somehow 3/32 was closer to 1/16th than 1/8th), so it won't fit with the stove in. I'm going to order the rubber brick sheet instead. I can put the flooring paper down in there, though.

I also received the trim strips, so I'll cut that before I stain it, then install that next. The interior window trim will wait for the outside stone sculpting to be in place so I don't mess up the acetate windows with clay.

So I'm not sure what steps to take next. I'm kinda thinking the paperclay, but I dunno.

Anyway, I have to put the house aside for a bit to work on my wedding dress. October will be here before I know it!
