Selkie Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Edit: If I recall correctly, previous gallery photos included the blurb submitted with the photos. At first I was disappointed that they are missing this year, but then I realized that I was busy really looking at the photos and didn't need to be told what they represent. It was more satisfying to immerse in the scene than to read about it. I was wondering about that too and also, were they linked to the persons album so you could see the "rest of the story"? Other years we didn't have the Pitstop thread to try to track folks entries ahead of time so maybe they thought some of those things were redundant.

Mandystar Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 This will probably be the last entry on this forum, but just to clear the air since the subject was hot and heavy here at one point, I wanted to note that I just ordered the half-scale laser-cut Diana dollhouse from Greenleaf (amongst a bunch of other things, including the front-opening Gloucester). We shall see just how easy I find working in half scale <grin!> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 .... I just ordered the half-scale laser-cut Diana dollhouse from Greenleaf (amongst a bunch of other things, including the front-opening Gloucester). We shall see just how easy I find working in half scale <grin!> Sounds exciting Mandy. Your work is quite detailed so these will, no doubt, be stunning. Can't wait to see pictures .... Someday maybe I can get my SF finished - when I finally can get some big strong guys to assist with the last of the carrying of the parts. Probably by then, everyone else will have finished all their new projects and won't remember what the SF was. hahahaha !!!! Everything in it's time I guess.

KathieB Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Selkie, the pottery shop I'm working on was an entry in the 2010 Spring Fling. It's never too late to finish 'em up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandystar Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Thanks, Selkie. Did anyone else take advantage of the GL "secret" sale? That, and my gift certificate bought a whole bunch of goodies! Along with the sale, if you purchased more than $60 (I think), you got a free village kit! Those kits are 1/4" scale. Oh, my! If I was leery about half scale, this should really be interesting! Doesn't matter when you work on your minis! Kathie is so right. So many of us find that this is such a wonderful outlet as a "get away from it all" escape, that we have tunnel vision while working on our minis -- I know that I do! In this day and age -- and especially those of us who have so many other obligations, we absolutely need this kind of time! Am I preaching to the choir here? I think we need a new forum for the post-SF "Oh, what I am gonna do next" blues! Betcha they won't stay "blues" for very long -- not once this group gets going! We can even hold our own contest! Speaking of contests, I do believe I was the only one who guessed at Monday, Nov. 25th, as when we'd get the news of the SF winners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Sandy, I was pleasantly surprisedx by 1:24 scale and being able to work in it! After the Fairfields, Mildred seems HUGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandystar Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I am truly hoping to feel the same way! I promise to let you know <smile>! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey6163 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I bought several of the past SF kits , and the little town . It is going in my stash with the couple of other little villages I picked up. Now I want a train set to go with them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandystar Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I just love that little town, and I always wanted to set up a train set. Of course, the little town was a freebie (GL sale and, I believe, if you spend >$60, you had your choice), but the train set, on the other hand... well, a little story here: I brought one home for my husband's birthday a number of years ago, and he made me take it back because he thought it was much too expensive! It kind of was, at about $400! At that was just for the basics! I can't even think about going there. It's not just the cost of a train set. It's the cost of moving house so that I can fit all these goodies!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rackey Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I know it is early, but when will the 2014 Spring Fling Contest be announced? Remember administrators, I would love for there to be a People's Choice voting entry this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
