I know I am forgetful sometimes, but I distinctly remember putting the gazebo between the basket maker's cottage and Tessie's place a couple of days ago. It was right after I finished it.It wasn't too hard to locate. I almost tripped over it going into the workroom.I keep the Magnolia kit behind that door. There was the gazebo, Tessie and Spike right next to it. I started to question Tessie.......She explained. "I just wanted to see what the gazebo would look like next to my new house." I said, as calmly as possible...."It's not your new house!"
She replied "Well, not yet. It still has to be built. Oh! I think it needs a basement. Is that possible?" Then she continued daydreaming aloud. "It could sit on a hill and the basement could be inside the hill and the gazebo could be at the foot of the hill and maybe there could be a lily pond for my frogs, eels and my babel fish. There has to be a Weeping Willow and because of the name of the house, some Spiderwort growing here and there. It's good for spells, you know. I also want a rock garden. I am very good at growing rocks!" On and on she went. I tuned out.
I went back and finished the rug for the gazebo.
This is what it looked like when I finished. Not too lumpy or out of square. I steamed it once and this is what it looked like. Much better.
I did just a bit more steaming. Then I did the white glue around the edges and cut the excess canvas off. This is as close as I could get to the true colors.
I started back towards the gazebo to put it in place and call the project done.Then I had a brainstorm. I informed Tessie that if she ever wanted me to get to the Magnolia, she had to zap the gazebo back where it belongs. Notice, I did not say that I was going to make it for her. I am as good at loopholes as she is! Well, sometimes I am.
She immediately zapped it back to the spot where it belongs. I put the rug in place and took some photos.
For the time being I am ahead in the game. It probably won't last for long. Oh well......I can dream, can't I?
See you tomorrow.

Casey I know you don't want Tessie to have the new house. But you have to admit she's got some brilliant ideas for Spiderwort Manor.
The Rug looks wonderful, I hope Tessie appreciated it.. x
I love the idea of a house on a hill! Tessie may have to win on that one!! And the weeping willow tree....You have to admit, it would be fun to make!!!
Ok you two! You are supposed to be on my side! In what world would making a weeping willow tree in mini be fun????? Katie, are you volunteering?LOL
Casey,
The Willow would be a challenge but something to think about.. I have willows all around my home..
Just think about all those tiny leaves.. lol..
I won't give Tessie any ideas on that...
Tina
The rug looks great, Casey!
I will say I'm on your side in this. We can't let the little witches in our lives order us about. ;-)
I'll back you with Tessie if you back me with Ezzie. *grin*
I love the rug and I love Tessie's dream house. It sounds beautiful! Can't she help you a little more so you will have more time. Also you need to get Zar working - both of them are becoming a little lazy lately.
Kat, personally, I think that you are smart, not finishing Ezzie. Surely by now you are rethinking having a witch around after all of the trouble that I have with Tessie! LOL
Oh yeah, there's an award for you and Tessie on my blog. I think Tessie will really like this one. ;-)
I don't know Casey... perhaps she can whip up a spell to help Castor get over his stomach issues.
Besides, Ezzie's cat needs someone to make sure he's fed. I've had him for a while now and he's getting a bit disgusted. ;-)
