It's Warming Up....

It's about the temperature, or a little below that it is in the middle of the night in July...63 degrees right now....I actually went out and put plants back on the porch and uncovered some that I had covered before the big freeze of 2013. 

I did lose some of the plants that I had covered.  The worst was my lavender...All gone.

I came back in and started looking for the yellow and blue rug that I want to use in the kitchen of the Clockwork Cottage...Never found it.

In the process, I started moving real furniture.  the Mystery house is now in the living room.  Why?  Short story made long...

I knocked this off of the wall whilst moving the house to see if I put the rug in there.  I didn't.  Everything went every which way and landed all over the family room rug.  Some of the pieces were put in with mini hold, but not all....

The problem was a faulty hanger on one side of the tray.  It came loose and I was just lucky that I didn't lose the big blue and white plate.

After putting that back together and refilling it, I was  happy to see that the cat tree would fit under those...Now if I can just keep widget from stealing things from the trays and carrying them away, we will be all set.

At least the corner got cleaned up and I found a lot of missing pieces from the typesetter's trays behind the table when I moved it....So what could have been a disaster turned out pretty good.

Yes.  I did get to the miniatures after all of that.  I went through my stash and found enough to furnish the kitchen and feed the Terrible Two a nice lunch.  They had a tureen of Japanese soup with all kinds of exotic looking stuff in it....They ate it with plain white bread though.  I didn't find any egg rolls in the stash....I think that they ate those earlier. 

I am not too sure about the drinks...I don't think that I would be drinking them.  I found them in one of the old boxes...They used to be pink strawberry daiquiris.  They now look more like grapefruit margaritas...If there is such a thing.

I think that the two of them are planning ahead for a disaster....Among other things, there are at seven cans of beans on the shelf above Tessie's head.  Maybe they know something that we don't.

We also found Spikes favorite food bowl so we are all set in the kitchen for now.  Other stuff will be added, but at least it's a start.

See you tomorrow.

Hi Casey. I love the kitchen scene
with Tessie and Zar having lunch.
It almost makes them seem domesticated! (Think married!)

The wall shelf fits in this room well. Is it new? I don't recall
seeing it before.

Phyllisa, the shelf is one that I built for the cottage the first time around. I went back and looked, but I guess that I didn't give instructions for it. Maybe I should do a tutorial for it?

Hi Casey! What a lovely lunch scene! So sorry to hear about your losing your lavender. :( I adore lavender but I have a problem growing it, it seems to be a very delicate plant and it ends up browning and withering in the pot. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, maybe someday I'll figure it out?

Many mini hugs!

Cute little scene with the three of them! Casey, in Ottawa, at the moment it's -27 Celcius with the windchill! You would not like that, would you? Hahaha! I had to go out today, otherwise I would have stayed inside in the warmth. I had to hide my face inside my hood with the only visible thing being my eyes so I could see where I was going. It was biting cold to the face. But, I still love winter!
