Roxxie2 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Would be working on our Orchid, but I pinched a sciatic nerve shoveling snow. Just got back from my Doc. He's sending me to a spine specialist. Probably going to have some more of those steroid shots in my hip and back. Getting old sucks! Ya, getting old isn't what it's cracked up to be. Should have time to do all kinds of cool things but .... yadda yadda yadda. It beats heck out of the alternative... I agree! Feel better Art!

kat57 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Oh,yeah,let me tell ya-I think it beats the 'alternative' BIG time! LOL Sorry you are in pain Art-hope the steroid shots work fast! My mother took me to the doctor today and she goes a different/much more scenic route than my son goes;I kept seeing houses I'd like to build in mini and color schemes and siding treatments that I want to try,etc. and I think I was driving Mom crazy! I haven't felt up to talking about dollhouses to her in so long I guess she thought I was 'over it'!LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Oh no Kat, you never get over dollhouses! I would have loved to have been on your route to see what houses you saw! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Regardless of what life throws at us, what matters is finding joy and happiness in the moment. For those of us here, that joy usually comes from the miniatures we love so much. Any day we can work on them is going to be an awesome day!! So what's everyone working on today? We know that Debra is hopping around on one foot waiting for that work bench to arrive (someone should probably warn the FedEx guy that she might run right out to the truck and hug him before snagging the box and dragging it inside). What's everybody else mini-ing today? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't felt up to talking about dollhouses to her in so long I guess she thought I was 'over it'!LOL Hopefully you will never be "over it." Remember, the addiction is the cure with minis. I drive my hubby crazy cuz I ask him to pull over so I can take pictures for future reference, LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm working on "work" for the morning, but hope to call it a day after a lunch event and start the weekend early. I'm looking forward to some time this weekend to work on minis The wee Ts and Tudor cottage bashes are all vying for attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CutnStuf Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks you guys. I usually have a pretty high tolerance for pain, but this one's kicking my butt. I agree, the alternative is not an option. Only feels like it sometimes! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only feels like it sometimes! Hang in there Art. It will get better one way or another. Meanwhile you can take your sketch book and draw up some new plans and ideas for when you are feeling back in the saddle again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdodyd Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Putting final trim on The Whitney Dollhouse, a Christmas-themed house. Cannot make up my mind about the white gingerbread trim on the roof peaks. I don't like the way it looks but the gap between the roof pieces is pretty wide. What to do? What to do? I'm going round and round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdodyd Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Dilemma solved. Just writing the comment above made me realize that I was never going to be happy with the gingerbread trim. So I got out my wood filler and filled in the gap between the roof tops. Will repaint when dried and all will be well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Swearengin Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I did something today outside my comfort zone, but other than the glue drying,,,,,,,, I made vertical blinds for the big windows in the Ranch House. I wasn't going to do them until later, but wanted to see if that little toy from HL would cut poster board for Kat. I will never have to worry about cutting a straight line again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CutnStuf Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 What little toy from HL? And what's HL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 HL is Hobby Lobby, Art, and in the "Paper Cutter" topic we were discussing the Fiskars slicer. I'm planning to us mine to make quilling strips to try my hand at bowls and canisters. As for your sciatica, when mine decides to kick the rest of my butt & back, a heating pad is SO nice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra from Olde Cape Cod Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 DH brought home the bench in his truck! I was hopping up and down! Will post pics tomorrow--I'm beat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra from Olde Cape Cod Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I was helping Bill put the bench together and he was getting a kick out of me using tools! LOL! Put pics up in my gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I was helping Bill put the bench together and he was getting a kick out of me using tools! LOL! Put pics up in my gallery. You did??? <rushing off to look> OMG Debra, I love, love, love your work space!! What amazing light and you're sooo organized. A woman after my own heart! That workbench is looking perfect in there too and I loved the pics of you working on it. I showed Bruce and he laughed and agreed with your husband that he's a lucky man to have a wife who knows her way around power tools and can build her own work bench. Awesome!! Looking at your pics put a huge smile on my face this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniCrazy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 That is a great workbench Deb and I love the pictures. We don't get to see the faces of those we are interacting with too often. It's great to put a face to the name and a wonderfully happy face it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
