Kirk and I made the drive to Cookeville, TN again yesterday.  This time we are listening to a book by Neil Gaimin called "American Gods".  During the drive I used my time wisely and drew up detailed plans for my next miniature. 
I found, on ebay, the exact doll house kit that I purchased for my daughter back in the 1970's  I purchased the kit and am going to remake it using all the skills I have gained in the intervening years!  I can't wait to get started!!

I made a few updates for 2017 on The Princess Cottage.  Always a work in progress!

I have been working on something a little different from my usual miniatures.  I purchased a pre made unfinished wood castle and have painted it and purchased figures for it to give to my 3 year old grandson, Ben.  This has been a really relaxing, fun project.

 I woke up this morning thinking about building a new Fairy House for 2017.  I think this year it will be a tree house in our Redbud Tree.  The houses constructed for use outdoors require materials that will withstand the elements.  Time to check the construction materials bin and see what I have on hand!  So many possibilities, maybe something inspired by Swiss Family Robinson.

A few from years gone by:

 

 Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!
