Liberty Biberty was actually doing them and doing a beautiful job. You should go look at both sites. Thanks Marlie, for the pattern!
Anyway, upon seeing the pitchers coming at me from all sides, I had to at least try one......The six year old, remember?
Here's what my lap board looks like after trying just one.....I think that there are 12 in various states of cut out and bending. I haven't gotten to the gluing together or the painting part yet. I was feeling guilty about working on these when I should have been hard at work on the Clockwork Cottage, not to mention real housework. So, for now, this is as far as I got.
I was being semi-good. I went back and cut out the parts of the roof for the extension on Zar's cottage. I glued in the center section of the roof permanently. The ends still need some work.
At least now I know that it is all going to fit, if I ever get serious and do that instead of wandering off in other directions.
I am still debating putting some kind of a bump out in the kitchen where the window is. I would love to put a built in dinette in that spot. I haven't finished the woodwork around that window yet, so it could still happen.
While I was gluing and taping things together, Zar and Tessie came in. They were in a heated discussion about how I had put too many peaks on the roof. There should only be two. There should be a bedroom peak and a bathroom peak. Zar was tap dancing around the mysterious third peak as fast as he could. I just stood back and let him get himself out of the mess. After all, he is the one that wants it to be a secret.
He and Tessie are sitting on the middle peak. They are both talking a mile a minute. Neither of them is listening to the other. He is trying to explain away the third peak. "It was the builder's blunder." (I resent that!) She just keeps repeating....."Three peaks equals three rooms! There is something fishy going on and I want to know what it is! Three peaks. Three rooms!!!"
I think that they are about to stop speaking to each other, once again.....I can only hope. Maybe I will finish some pitchers and forget about the third pointy thing on the roof.
See you tomorrow.

Perhaps Zar should be reading some of Tessie's spell books and learning a "forgeting" spell. I can't wait to see how he gets out of this one. I think Zar might have a puce colored secret workroom in his future-and not so secret :)
Those pitchers look so appealing!
I've been wanting to make these jugs for the longest but I'm not sure what scene they'd go in...outdoor/indoor use? Water? Milk? Plant watering cans?
Zar needs to build a device kind of like those sub-sonic mosquito repellers. It could be tuned to a frequency that emits an aura of forgetfulness for witches. If he sets it up in his secret room, perhaps Tessie will keep forgetting about the 3rd peak. ;-)
