Table Legs

This is how I'm building the table legs for the kitchen table. I haven't glued them together yet. I want to be sure they are the right size and square first.

One thing I wish is that Micro-Mark's magnetic gluing jig had a 1/4 inch square grid on the surface. That would make this so much easier. Micro-Mark, are you listening???


I sent my Miter Master Easy Cutter back to them yesterday. When I tried to change the blade I couldn't get the tool back together. Hopefully, they will repair or replace it. Right now I'm using bandage scissors to cut the wood!

I got some ModPodge Multi-Dimensional Magic and Americana Triple Thick glaze at Michaels yesterday. I'm trying them out now. They both went on smoothly and didn't run over the edge of the test wood. We'll see which one looks best when dry?

Time for me to get ready for work. Real life work. Wish I could stay home and work on my table!

My Day As It Was

I received my order from Micro-Mark. I bought some fine turf by Woodland Scenics. Now I have enough "grass" to make a golf course! I just needed a tiny bit for the mini modern landscaping.


I also bought a small square and chopper. The chopper works great for picture frames. Now I can get back to work cutting the trim for the garage. No more excuses that my Easy Cutter broke! The 1/16" decking will be perfect for the 1:144 modern house. I'll probably use some of it for the Spanish house too.


I had my first MRI this morning. THAT was an experience! I have TMJ joint pain off and on. Doc wanted to see what's really going on in my jaw. Hence, the MRI.


This is not me, but this is what it looked like before they slid me into the scanner. It wasn't bad, just a little claustrophobic, long and LOUD!

Then they stuck this "huge" mouth bite thingy into my little mouth and scanned some more. "Ouch." I'm glad it's overwith and hope I don't have to eat soup for the rest of my life. LOL

I want to WELCOME all of my new followers! 427 now!!! If we get to 450, I'll have another give-a-way! Thanks to everyone who reads my blog and leaves me such nice comments. I really appreciate you!

Hope you have a nice evening! I'm going to go find something soft to eat. Ice cream maybe?

Waiting on the Deck

I installed the light in the pool. Now I'm waiting on the decking I ordered from Micro-Mark.



Then I'll do a some landscaping and my mini-modern house will be complete. :D

Little Crooked House

I could see this coming. It's part of the reason I haven't finished Mike's little modern house. It's crooked. Mike doesn't seem to mind. But I do.


Even though I measure and square and measure again something always seems to get out of whack.



I get one side right and the glue pops on the other side! Do you think the chimney is too tall?

I'm thinking about buying some 1/16" wood decking from Micro-Mark for around the pool. I can also use it in the little Spanish house. Micro-Mark is having a HUGE sale until the end of August. I'll be getting a few more things that have been on my wish list too. :D

I stopped working on Grandma's sewing room when I couldn't figure out how to finish her sewing table. I'm sure you never quit something just because it isn't working out, do you?

It's always more fun to start something new than finish something that's difficult! Shopping sounds like fun right now too. Then I'll get back to Mike's house. It is almost finished!

Hope you are having a beautiful day!
