I'm really surprised at myself! It took me four days to place an order from HBS once my mini buying ban was lifted!

I was just worried that I'd forget something important, like I usually do, and was keeping a list. It was only because that 25% coupon expired last night that I finally ordered!

The bakery is in a bit of a quagmire. There are little things I can do, but I've slumped into vacation mode so I only seem able to tackle items that fill a day (such as the shingling which I finished Sunday), and the little things (cushion for the window seat and stones for the veranda) are being ignored.

I took down Tilly's Christmas decorations and now I'm bummed out. Not because I miss the holiday passed, but because it made her shop so warm and cozy and now it feels empty. At the same time I hesitate to fill it back up because of the little projects that still remain.

So here's a list and maybe at the end I'll have decided what I want to do next! Items with an asterisk are waiting on my HBS order.

Interior:

- make window seat cushion

- install knobs on cabinet doors

- install outlet and swap plug for bedside lamp

- make bed linens

- replace chandelier bulb*

Exterior:

- install trim under roof points

- touch up paint

- sculpt and paint stone floor on veranda

- find tiny eye screws

- paint and design shop sign

- install sign

- make greenery for window box

- decorate and install cupola*

- install door knobs*

- install doors*

- install veranda railing*

After that im really looking forward to trying my hand at sculpting miniature food. I bought a bunch of fimo half-priced at JoAnn on Saturday, and DH gave me a magnifying glass for Christmas, so I'm ready as soon as I finish the house! I also ordered a mini book off Amazon since I've had trouble finding tutorials online.

I also have a new project to tackle for late Spring, parts for which are coming in the Ernie order. ;)
