Sherry Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have everything laid out, water in the pan, ready to wallpaper our bathroom..kinda nervous, I haven't wallpapered a real house in ten years! Wish me luck...at least I had the sense to avoid patterns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Good luck Sherry! I am taking my daughter to college. Actually will be there in about 10 minutes! She'll be 3 hours away. That's not too bad. Wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Good Luck Sherry! I have only wallpapered dollhouses and I have removed it. I would be nervous myself. You will do fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntDee Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Sherry, Wall papering a rl wall is not different than doing mini..you only use bigger sheets of wall paper and larger tools. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 It's being a son of a gun! I don't remember it being this hard to do...think it has something to do with being 10 years older than the last time I did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Furnace is getting cleaned as I type this. So far so good. I am thinking I am going to do another batch of strawberry jam today. I am in the mood. First batch came out wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazhina Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Good luck Sherry! Me? I HATE to wallpaper. I'd planned on working on the beach house this morning, but when I went to add new products to NEM, I discovered that when I added some new sections in Reutter several days ago, all my Reutter accessories and half scale items vanished from the half scale and accessories subsections! I had to put everything back where it was supposed to be, took a big chunk of my morning. I also found out I had at least 11 items with no sizes. I was sure I had found everything I had missed sizing already. Now I'll have to go to the storeroom with my ruler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatColorado Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 It was said fully tongue in cheek :no: ... aren't you up to 34 thousand or something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Finished and painted the flower boxes, doors, and shutters for the Old English Cottage. Am installing them this morning, just waiting for the glue to dry. Next is the landscaping and I should get to that this afternoon or tomorrow AM.

Sherry Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have worked out a satisfactory compromise with the wallpapering. I hang a couple of strips, then I glue down flagstones on the trading post porch while the wallpaper dries. Not getting anywhere too fast with either of them, but I'm not getting bored either!

havanaholly Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 It was said fully tongue in cheek ... aren't you up to 34 thousand or something like that?Probably 35K by now; that's why I said :angry:! I made some darker flesh tone clay today and made my little people to live in La Casita, at long last! (they'll have to chase the 1:48 Homies out!)

havanaholly Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'll put them with the 1:24 Homies I was originally going to turn loose in the Fairfields (before I got over my terror of sculpting in 1:24). I'm thinking of doing a 1:24 scratch build, thanks to April, for all the Homies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodland_miniatures Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I'm in the process of making my own herbal ointment, out of desperation. A friend gave me a jar of comfrey ointment to try on my foot, and it seems to be the only thing that's actually promoting noticable and healthy healing of the wound there. So I go online looking to buy some more, both to use myself and to give to my friend to replace what she gave me, and sure, it's there several places. HOWEVER - the FDA in its infinite wisdom has decided that "ingesting large doses" of comfrey might possibly cause liver cancer. So this ointment has been withdrawn from the market and you basically can't get that anymore. Believe me, I'll take the chance of possible future liver cancer (if ingesting large quantities of this herb - note I said "ingesting", not smearing a very small amount on healing skin) over the likelihood of losing a foot due to septicemia any day of the week. So I am steeping comfrey leaves in warm olive oil for several hours this evening to make an oil infusion, which I will then combine with melted beeswax into an ointment, which I will then continue to smear on my (thank you, Lord) healing wound..... Ummmm....it just occurred to me that in another age I most likely would have been burned at the stake. Late middle aged lady living with a sleek black cat she talks to a lot (and who talks back!), brewing strange things in her kitchen, and making these miniature images of things for no doubt nefarious purposes....Glad I'm living now instead of then, and have you folks who understand!

Momof2Moos Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Ummmm....it just occurred to me that in another age I most likely would have been burned at the stake. Late middle aged lady living with a sleek black cat she talks to a lot (and who talks back!), brewing strange things in her kitchen, and making these miniature images of things for no doubt nefarious purposes. You are probably right! Such a shame, you little voodoo hexing cat lover!!! I made lots of tiny thing for the craft room today. Watched all of Gabrielle's tuts. Played with the kids. Cleaned the house. Washed diapers. Hung out with James' mom for an hour or so... mini-ing, of course (showed her new stuff and made her a paper towel roll and holder). Then went to the store to pick up bias tape and fabric to make more quilts. Came home, made a late dinner, played with the kids and put them to bed. :angry: Now it is ten and I still have to load the dishwasher, take the trash to the curb, crack a beer and kick up my feet. Oh, wait.... the Highland is calling!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I got the basement for the Tuscan house done today. I just need to put in the interior walls. I screwed up though - I had a switchback staircase that I cut down to 7" tall specifically to fit the basement, but I forgot to account for the 3/8" thickness of the floor above. So my basement walls are now only 6 5/8" high. Which wouldn't be too bad, but the kitchen is in the basement. No upper cabinets in this kitchen! On the bright side, though, the basement actually looks like a basement. I'm always happy when something looks like what it's supposed to. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_in_PA Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 So, anyway, I have been doing some very late spring house cleaning in my shop ! I had a couple of small kits in my storage area that I know I'll never get to build, so I put them on Craig's List. I sold 2 of them & the ladies are coming today to pick them up. Both ladies are first time builders & asked for some hints on their build. I am hoping to generate some interest in minis with these two ladies. It would be nice to have more mini makers in my local area. I am still trying to find a place to put my castle project in my house !! :angry: I have the lighthouse kit & the country cottage kit sitting in their boxes in my shop, just screaming to be taken out, but which will I do ?? Decisions, decisions!!!! Steve in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I'm just trying to get normal again. Tired of sickness and ill health! Trying to make dolls again. Working on trying to get my BH electrified. Doug is slow, and says "I've got to get this electrified one of these days" and so the days roll by, and the house sits there in it's shroud......

Wolfie Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Thank you Selkie! I am hanging in there. Doug is now doing physical therapy....and has been going quite frequently to the VA - both the hospital and the more local clinic. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts for us. that is nice to be remembered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntDee Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Wolfie, It is so good to hear from you. You have been on my mind frequently and each day, when I check the GL site, I hope there will be an update from you. My prayers are for both you and Doug. Write when you can and in between know that we love you and miss you. Giving you a big hug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 thank you Rit1! this means a lot to me, and brings real tears to these old eyes. It's been a long rough road for Doug and I, but with good things along the way too. LizaG from this list spent three weeks with me in May/June timeframe and we had a wonderful time. We met on this forum and have been in contact communication since. She was a big help to me this summer. Doug is actually feeling a little better. As you know he is aging, losing strength in arms and legs, hands, and such. But recently he has been feeling better, and is getting around a little better since he started physical therapy. So perhaps I can post a little more now. Again thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLyn M. Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Hooray! I knew I would find you in here somewhere!! I just looked at the awesome works of art of yours that I found in the Gallery this am......breathtaking!! Best Wishes and prayers for continued improvement for heath issues. Check in when you can...you are missed!! :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Wolfmeister, seeing you back here makes my day! Every time I make a doll I sigh & think of you... Steve, I hope you'll invite your new lady friends to join us here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
