I did a bunch of yard work this morning. When I came in at about 9:00AM, I needed a lot of liquids and a large fan. As you can see, in the top right corner of the screen, when I took the photo it was 100°. It is now 105°.
This is my new wallpaper. I found it at Brass Goggles. When I look at the screen it has the effect of looking into the inside of a strange machine.
I was hoping that it would inspire me to work on the Clockwork Cottage. It's not working. Tessie has gone off somewhere to pout because she can't remember how to get into Zar's cottage. Zar is off working on some mysterious project and I am left to clean up the mess.
As usual on Monday, I am trying to get the big house in order. Laundry is laundering. My next job will be to clean out the fridge. I am stalling as hard as I can.
When I went to look at what had to be done in the cottage, I felt like taking a page from Tessie's how to manual. I wanted to stomp my feet and yell a lot. I am really stretching my six year old's limits. I want to do something else for a day or two. Hey! I just remembered. I'm the six year old boss. I can do something else if I so wish.
I decided to work on something completely different. Remember the perfumery that I did early this year in a gift box? Remember that my dear daughter stole it? I have more of them! Ha! I can work on one of those if I want to work on one of those! I want to work on one of those.
I kept looking at the shape. It was saying "Stone Arch".
Who am I to fight with a gift box? That would just be ridiculous! I pulled it out and painted the rim gray. I am not at all sure what it is going to be. All I know is.....It's not going to be a clockwork anything!
I haven't painted the body of the box yet, because I have no idea what I want to do with that part. It could be stone or it could be stucco.
I started cutting up egg cartons and gluing them to the rim. I only have about a third of it done, but you can see how it is starting to look like solid rocks. I cut the edge so that it folded to the back and glued a piece the same width on the other side of the corner.
Now all I have to do is actually finish it.....OK so I am not as much a finisher as I am a starter and leave it for later-er.
I am going back to work now. I have a refrigerator to clean, laundry to do and dinner to cook. Alas, the real world is encroaching on my mini world.
See you tomorrow, hopefully with a better attitude......

Caset at least you've managed to get some Mini work done. I haven't done anything for months...x
P.S. I cleaned defrosted my fridge freezer yesterday, its all sparkly clean now...LOL
I absolutely positive HATE housework....I really need a kitchen maid. Or possible a house elf. Fortunately neither my husband or son care about dust bunnies and my will will launder his underware (and my husbands's if the need arises). I consider myself blessed...
btw..the new piece looks like half an igloo. what will it be?
Oh, it DOES look like an igloo! How about a bunch of cute little penguins? :) Can't wait to see what do with this!
I have so many started projects too.
I really need to clean my RL house and do MY laundry!
Debbie,any more baby ponies yet? I miss your blog.
Tabitha, it is more the shape of a slice of igloo. LOL I did some penguins, but they are too small to put in there. It's rock, not ice.
Kathi! Don't incourage Tabitha! LOL No igloos! I was thinking more along the lines of a wine cellar or maybe the end of a conservatory.
Not only did you get housework AND miniature work done, you were able to blog about it! I spent the weekend cursing my PC, because it just wasn't working for me. I had no Internet access all weekend long. Talk about going stir crazy!!
I'm guessing you're building a fountain there, Casey. Looks very nice so far...
Geo.

I hate housework too...luckily Mick doesn't seem to notice if I do it or not :-)
