Thread Head

No post in a while, but I have been working on things. Most of the lights for my HBS competition piece are here and will be installed soon.

As for the other house, I have some tentative plans but am still in the process of deciding on lighting and I can't move forward with construction until lighting is taken care of. I could be working on painting the exterior of course, but I have A.D.D. (yes, really) and I get distracted easily. Also, I have a rug pattern printed out for the Victorian house. I'm going to do it in punch needle and I'm sure it will take ages but will hopefully be well worth it in the end. I plan to trim some of the edges so it isn't quite so huge but this is the general size. The pattern is from Urban Threads.

I spent most of last week working on replicating a gothic wedding cake in 1:12 scale for a new Etsy shop that will be opening soon. I have tools on order so I can start miniature flowers and things too. Just this morning I had a genius epiphany for some stonework that I want to experiment with also. So hopefully lots of new stuff to show in the coming weeks.

Thanks for stopping by :)

I spent most of the day yesterday working on my HBS Creatin' Contest piece, so nothing to report on the San Franciscan right now. I have a real desire to make a Tim Burton - inspired haunted / gothic / dark dollhouse and after careful consideration I've come to the conclusion that a Heritage, a Pierce, or a Beacon Hill are my favorite options for it. I've been looking at Heritage auctions on Ebay for an hour or so. I'm leaning toward the Heritage or the Beacon Hill for different reasons.

I've also got an itch to make miniature foods and things again, so I may do a little of that in between house building stages. Anyway, this was mostly an update to let it be known that just because there hasn't been much posted here the last couple days, I have been working like crazy on my projects. :-)
