Well, this is the first entry for what I'm sure will be a long, long blog. I set up the basement on the weekend and am preparing to start building Villa Villekula (aka the Rutherford) in which Pippi and her gang will live in. Pippi herself should be arriving, I'm hoping, in May or June so she'll have to camp out at either Pennethorne Manor or Madame Riaboushka's for awhile. I don't think the mice have any room for her as they're cramped as it is. They would not be amused! I highly doubt Hyacinth or Mother Goose would put up with her for long either since they're both neat freaks! I just don't need the hassle! LOL!!

Here's a picture of what I'm hoping it will all turn out like in the end . . . wish me luck!
