Moving Right Along...

Yesterday, Walter brought home a present...He said that he bought it for my benifit... He neglected to add that he would have to drink what was inside.(rum)

He found this case at Costco.  He needed a gift for the Christmas party exchange at Raytheon.  Then he decided that we needed one too.  He knows what I like.  Now all I have to do is figure out how to get him to choose his own gift at the exchange and I will have two.  I wonder if that's legal?

For some reason, this reminds me of Doctor Who's Tardis.  Now, if I could only figure out how to make the inside larger than the outside...

Zar is trying to talk Tessie into trying it out....Notice his hand firmly on the lock...Notice her hand securly on the knob that the lock will have to go on....Complete standstill in negotiations.

I spent the morning finishing the trim on the backside of the Russian cottage.

I cheat a lot.  I cut the wood to size and paint it before applying it to the house.  It saves a lot of touch ups.

What did we do before the invention of painter's tape?  Love that stuff.

 I "watched" six episodes of "Castle" on Hulu, while working.  They are a lot shorter without all of the long commercial breaks, so they don't take as long as you would think.

Anyway, the back side is essentially finished.

It's a good thing.  I was running out of lace for trim.

All I have to finish on the outside/inside is the two windows and the door.

I did a bit of finishing on the fireplace alcove.  I am going to have to start making furnishing decisions soon. 

I need to hunt up the Russian cottage websites that I found when I was originally working on this.  I think that the URLs  for them are in the original entries about the Russian Cottage. 

You will have to entertain yourself whilst I go look.  It may take a while.

See you tomorrow.
