WARM BABY

The dolls were a gift. Baby's pj's were threadbare, so I knitted him a blanket to keep him warm.

BOYS AND THEIR TOYS

This started out as an HOM kit for a dower chest. When I opened it up a "decade or two" after purchasing it on EBAY, I found that a number of parts were missing. I replaced what I could and thought it could work as a toy box for my boys room. Maybe they can learn to put away their sports equipment. (doubt it)

SPRING FLING

I know its been too long since I've posted. First the blizzard, then health issues and then
Valentine's Day
Saint Paddy's Day, Easter, Daughters Birthday, 

Then of course I had to make cupcakes to fill my liners from True2Scale, assemble a couple of 1/144 kits for my Thornhill Dollhouse Dollhouse, AND whip up a wheel barrel kit.
I make some of the greeting cards too, so time gets away from me.

Between now and July 4th, I have my recovery anniversary, Mom's Day, my birthday, the girls wedding anniversary, my daughter in law's birthday, Dad's Day. Then I think I get to breathe (minis) until October. 
While I envy you all your BEAUTIFUL families, I don't know HOW you do it all. There are only 4 of us, and I get overwhelmed from Halloween until July 4th. 

I'll be back later with CURTAINS.
HAPPY SPRING!

BOSTONIAN PROGRESS

This house will probably take much longer than my typical 12 years. All the doors and windows come in a million parts that have to be assembled. Then of course is all the sanding and several coats of paint.
I was not happy with the doors that came in the kit, so I purchased new ones (already assembled), and I  added a porthole window. I also changed up the floor plans a bit by adding a 1/2 bath on the first floor, and a full bath on the third floor. 
I drilled a hole in the ceiling under the tower, to enable more light to come in.
Readying for shingles
