Building the Bar

I started fiddling with my little lights this morning.  After a while, I realized this is probably NOT a good day for that.  My level of patience is not what it needs to be today.  SO.   I started building the bar.

I decided a curved bar might look nice.  I cut the countertop from basswood.  This nice piece of plywood laminate may work for the front of the bar?  I will need to make a trip to Michael's to get more wood for the shelves inside. 

My real motivation for getting out of the house is to escape this.  My work table!

It will be much more fun to shop than clean up this mess!   I probably need to learn to finish one project before I start another one.  Maybe?  Some day?

Hope you have fun today!

Maybe It's Just Me?

I pieced and quilted this pillow top about 10 years ago. It has been sitting in a drawer waiting to be finished. I never could decide if I wanted ruffles around the edges or cording. I still don't know.


I have about 2 yards of this fabric left. Enough to make lots of "Christmasy" things. I've done nothing with it. It has been in the same drawer as the pillow top.


Instead of finishing my pillow, I decided today that I would make a mini pillow top.


Again, I can't decide how to finish it. This will probably end up in the same drawer with the other things I never finished.

Do you have a drawer full of unfinished Christmas projects, or is it just me?

Let There Be Light?

I need your help. I've never wired a dollhouse before. I don't even know where to begin!?

Cir-Kit Concepts has several kits. Do I need to buy one of these? If so, which one?

I would like to have lights in my new house/restaurant. I guess this needs to be done before I start working on the exterior? I would appreciate any advice you may have.

I've promised myself to finish cleaning my work room, finish my sofa, finish the staircase AND finish my new bed before I start on anything else! I just keep getting distracted!

Hope you have a lovely day!

What If? 100th Post!

What if this was your 100th post and all you had to show was a mess of basket making attempts, some unfinished projects, and a family of critters who are not interested in celebrating at all?

I've tried several baskets and this is the result!
Therefore, I am officially OUT of the basket making business.
Nugget agrees.


I have only unfinished projects to show you.

Plus, I'm not really motivated to do any of them!

Henry could care less about this 100 post thing.
Toby and Dyan are totally bored with it all.

I do want to thank all of my friends and followers for hanging in there with me and reading my little blog. If it weren't for you, I would have no one to celebrate with!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for your sweet comments!

Blessings,
