By the way, Marie, now that you've posted more than 5 times, you can create a gallery whenever you like -- if you want to, that is! It's good to do in case there's something you need help on along the way (like I did!), and you can post a photo showing where you're at (without having to then figure out how to put up that gallery!). Of course, it's always nice to strut your stuff -- and we all LOVE to see other interpretations of the same house!!!

If the Garfield's stairs are like the Pierce's I glued the risers to the fronts of one stringer and then glued the other ends of the risers to the fronts of the other stringer once I had dry fitted the stringers to check riser placements; then I propped the stairs up in my gluing jig and glued the treads on top of the stringers and risers.

With the Garfield you fit the frame sides together glue then try to glue rises between. But I wasn't fond of the balusters because they are flat not milled so I'm changing it.

For whomever might be interested... I just got a catalog in the mai that might interest some of you -- it certainly interested me! It's from Micro-Mark (they bill themselves as "The Small Tool Specialists"), and I found some really cool things in it, enough so that I'm posting this information here! Free shipping on orders over $75. Online link is http://www.MicroMark.com

Help I'm in trouble... take away my debit card, I'm going to my first Dollhouse shop today! If it's not bad enough that I live on Eba,y but if I don't have it in my hand I can think twice. Worst of all the store is closing in March and everything is 30 to 50% off store wide. It's Christmas again.

Ron's is the epitamy of Dollhouse stores, a destination in its self. They have everything one could want for dollhouses. He developes the most wonderful original buildings for special classes and there is a miniatures museum. I just wish he had a web site. I strong armed DH to detour by there on a trip a couple of years ago and sure wish I could go back. Sigh!

Ron's Miniatures is on the North side of West Colonial Drive/ SR50 and just a few blocks from the tollroad interchange. My favorite way to get there is to camp over near US 27 and come in on SR50 and hit some of the thrift stores on the way in. I can find EVERYTHING! there, inclucing artisan pieces.

I think I'll plan it for next month. There isn't actually a thing that I could possibly NEED, aside from furniture, for my Garfield, and I'm waiting until it's done before furnishing it. Of course, need and want are two different things! However, I still have the Buttercup and the Conservatory on the shelf here to do after the Garfield, and once they start talking to me, that'll be a whole different angle ;-)!!! Then, I think, on to the laser-cut Diana! I even have the paint ready for that one (a friend sent me a couple coupons for free Benjamin Moore pints!) Or, maybe I'll do Diana next. Such momentous decisions one has to make!
