Ms. Mini Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Honestly I think Ive lost my mind.. everytime I leave my work room to stop for the day.. I find myself back there later on working on the Willowcrest some MORE. Its like a magnetic force... it just keeps calling me in there LOL. So I just updated my gallery and I just posted a new blog. I'm happy to say that the exterior of the house is almost finished. all that is left is one more coat of paint on the top roof. the chimney and once my HBS package comes tomorrow with my door knobs, the exterior door. THEN all i have left is to finish up the interior. ;) It's honestly hard to believe for me.. Very sureal. But i cant wait to have this house displayed in my living room So yes I have lost my mind.. but thats ok im not complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uppitycats Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Well, if you've lost your mind, then we're all in good company. Even my husband, who was drawn to the greenhouse I got, is out there in the workroom as I type this, trying to fit tiny hinges onto the window frames. He's been at it for a couple hours, now..

chesterfieldzoo Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Today must be mini day. I walk away to clean on the house and every time I pass the orchid, I have to stop and work on it. Then 'oh, no! I've got to clean' and off I go to finish what I was doing. But then I go back to it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Mini Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 haha i dont even want to know how many hours ive spent on this house!!! :welcome: its been 8 months with a few weeks periods in between with no work on it. But in the last 2 months alone.. wow ive put in ALOT of hours!!! ever since Caleb built me my work station ive been hooked!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokelly Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 It looks great. I think one of the reasons I'm so lazy anymore with my building is that I have to drag my craft table out, set it up, take my house out, and then work on it. Then at the end of the work time I have to put the house back on it's table, clean up, take down the craft table, and put it away. Most nights I look at it and think "I don't feel like getting everything out tonight." So it sits on it's stand in the living room waiting to be worked on another night. It's supposed to be nice this weekend, in the 60s in PA, so I may take it outside and work on my brick grouting and all that messy stuff.
