Another Blog for Fursdon House!!!

I don't think insanity runs in our family, but maybe we just hide it really well.  Why?  Well.....knowing I have so much spare time on my hands (NOT!!), I've created another blog.  It's name is Mulberry Cottage and it's solely about my Cabinet Doll House! 

Yes, I've gone back to the land of miniatures once again!  And I have to admit I'm having a blast!  Only this time, not only am I going to revamp the entire cabinet doll house, I'll have this blog to chronicle my changes. Additionally, I plan to write a book about it one day!  See what I mean?  I'm nuts!!  But I'm NEVER bored, so it's okay. Here's the link: http://www.mulberry-cottage.blogspot.com/.

A faster way to get there is to click on my button on the right hand side of the blog, that looks like this:

By the way, this little Gingerbread House is only about 1 1/2 inches square and sits in the palm of your hand!  It also sits inside the Dining Room of Mulberry Cottage!

I've only just started the blog about a week ago, so it's still in its "infancy", but I have B.I.G. plans for it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I am, revisiting such a magical world and getting to "play" to my heart's content!

Take care and have a lovely day!

Three Day Weekend!

Lovely three-day weekend with glorious weather!  It was the perfect opportunity for my latest project  -  repainting Husband's pirates - Blackbeard and Precious!  They aren't exactly cut out for outdoor use and although I only have "after" pictures of Precious, I remembered to get Blackbeard's "before" and "after" photos. See what you think!

After repainting them, I put on a heavy coat of polyurethane to better protect them while they're outside.

Precious

Yes, that's fresh lipstick, but it wasn't my idea! She came with red lipstick already on!  

So I decided that if a female pirate can actually look this FANTASTIC (yeah right!) and if she can come to our household with lipstick already on (as if!), then I'm painting her fingernails to match!  So there!  It's called "artistic license" and I have plenty of it! 

Enjoy and have a lovely evening!  May God Bless, Jan
