Putting it all back...

Well, some of you know the story of the 'basement incident'...yes, the destruction on some of my houses and things in my workshop (which still needs doors..and walls) ... we were able to pin two, possibly three suspects.......we won't say names, but one being a small 5 year old child, the other a furrier child with four legs... goodness the destruction created from these two..possibly three...well the residents of one house, the 'Granny' house were hit the hardest..their door just ripped right off its hinges...the beautiful hardwood flooring ripped up in some spots and scratched..even looked chewed on....still matching dental impressions....uuhmm, anyhoo...the roof was torn off in the back and many shingles.......the entire first floor was 'bombed' with fur! That was our first clue.......one suspect we consider to have more or less turned himself in with just one guilty look upon his face when Mom was inspecting the remains!

So good news is we are putting back the pieces! We have cleaned up the mess, spent many hours regluing and salvaging what we could....Mr. Grampa seen here is finally able to return with some furniture and try to put things back together.....

Mrs. Granny awaits with more instructions for Mr. Grampa at Maime's B&B where they have been staying since the incident..Maime has been very kind to provide them with a room and needs free of charge til things are repaired and they can return home......yes, can you see her customed made dress has also been torn..Savages!

More work to do, furniture to replace.....we'll keep you posted ;)

With Love, Valentine.....

Following me?

Hello everyone! wow...I had no idea when I started my blog that I would be interesting? lol, I have some followers! Yeeeah, so nice...I began my blog to 'vent' and share with some friends, I know I was shocked to find all these wonderful and very talented others out there with their very own blogs..all I admire and visit each day, if I am so lucky to find the time! I enjoy seeing what everyone is up to, what fun! I can only hope that I may be as fun to some of you that I find when visiting your blogs too! So thank you for following me thru my rantings, my complete addiction to this little world of miniatures! Welcome all!

special gift...

Just arrived from my mini friend Michelle Canada. A beautifully hand made and painted table. I just love it, I am going to put this in my beach cottage...when I get it underway, lol, but how lovely, TY!

Curtains!

We now have them in the country store! What a job that was..I used my pleater to help with the task..sometimes this can be a tricky job! I used some stiffy spray and my tip is a hair dryer, low setting to help speed things up a bit..I have no patience! lol No time for this waiting for it to dry stuff! NO, When we only have a few lucky moments to work on such things we need to work fast, make every minute count! Then we can fight with the sticky glue! ha ha, love that!

Well all fun aside, we have them hung and think it all went well ;)

Book

Ahhh, had you guessing?! What fun, yes indeed they are books. Boy, that can be alot of work, cut, paste, press and cross your fingers they stick......the pages, etc. NOT your fingers! geesh, Tee hee!

So I think these turned out nicely, They even open! Woohoo, not easy to do for me! Some of my mini gals will be surprised to see what I have created for them to hopefully proudly place on their mini coffee tables, or shelves or desk..or what not!
