sparklepuppies Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Tracy, if you don't make it to Chicago, I'm planning a couple of stops near Atlanta on the way to the show. On April 16th I plan to stop over at Miniature Designs around opening time, get lunch at Pappadeaux in Norcross and maybe stop by Houseworks (if they don't mind visitors). Sounds like a good plan! If I don't go to Chicago, I'll definitely try to take off work to meet up with you. Houseworks/HBS has a reception area and a sign-in sheet for visitors. It probably wouldn't hurt to call a couple days before and talk to Nancy or someone and make sure it's all good, but I'm sure they'd love a visit.

They might want to see what 36,000 of their bricks on a single project looks like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Did get a proper wall plug outlet in the breakfast room yesterday so today my "Kitchen" room box will now go into it's proper "home" at long last! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdlnpeabody Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I finally installed the library's parquet floor panel to the main house. I'll install the final inlay parts this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 The Atlanta Mini Show is today. And I'm not there. The first one I've missed since I started 4 years ago. It always falls on my birthday weekend, so that's a good excuse to buy stuff. But, besides having no money at all, I had to drop Lawson off this afternoon for a trip. (and that's one reason I have no money...) Oh well. Next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Bought some new clamps today for those long walls on my larger pieces. Also hit HL for a new transformer for one of my smaller pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenswing Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I've been trying to get myself motivated again after my computer foul up. I've finished the bed, the washtub, and made and wired two lamps. I painted and distressed the outhouse two weeks ago and I'm only now getting around to adding moss and lichen to the outside today. Somebody give me a kick in the butt, I've got a TON of small projects I could be working on and just can't seem to get going on anything. What's wrong with me?

Starfire Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Over the past chaotic weeks one of the mini things I have been up to was shopping the internet and collecting of small pieces to finish out the Cordoba room box I completed down the first part of July. Today I spent some time arranging of several plates of grapes, pears, peaches and an almond cake and added them to the various tables around the setting. I am still searching for a hooka so if anyone knows of a source please let me know. I have also selected several small projects I can work on around DHs needs and med appointments. He goes in for surgery on Wed this week so I can't get started on something large and involved. I did start doing some staining on one of the two replacement stairs for the Montclair. I absolutely hated the two I painted white so if someone else thinks they could use them I will let them go for a reasonable price. Prayers for a good outcome for DH's surgery would be appreciated. Apparently it is much more complicated and serious then we were told. If he had not been in such pain I think he would have passed on it.

pdlnpeabody Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Wishing your DH a smooth surgery and recovery, Beverly! I'm nearly finished with the last areas of parquetry in the library floor. I hope to have all of it in and the house ready for transport outside for several coats of clear by next weekend.

Ravenswing Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 . I am still searching for a hooka so if anyone knows of a source please let me know. I looked around while I was shoping but couldn't find one, however, JoMed made one for her Spring Fling out of jewelry findings (see here on table) http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/index.php?app=gallery&image=82657 Maybe she could show you how she did it.

Starfire Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Got all the staining finished on the stairs and completed wrapping it so that I can now paint the rest. I can't believe it took me nearly five hours to do it!!! I am not looking forward to the other set!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Tomorrow is the day for DH'S surgery. Dr says it will take about four hours to complete the surgery. He will be in the hospital for a couple of days. Did get one coat of paint on the stairs and will do some sanding after I get back from the hospital tomorrow and maybe get another coat of paint on.

chapchap73 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 We are home. he has been rescheduled for tomorrow. Sending up some more prayers for both of you. Rescheduling is the pits! I've got my HBS contest house in dryfit. I stared at it for at least an hour today. I had my sketchbook open to the notes I made in the planning stage; I should just crumple them up as now that I "see" it I have a different idea :lol: Fortunately it's the same basic theme. Off to make my shopping lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
