Fixing the Hole Where the Rain Gets In...

 I have decided to try to make the roof detachable.  That way if I want to change anything inside it will be a much easier task...

It is fun to look in from above.

 I am going to do the roof with illustration board. That way I can put about a one inch border on top all around and the center can be see through.

If I make it like a box lid with sides coming down over the edge, I can make a raised parapet that will stand out from the edge a bit.

I also have to do wooden door and window frames.  I'm not sure about those yet.  If I put plastic in the windows, the interior will be less visible.  I left all of the "glass" out of the big castle that I built back in 89' but with that one, I almost had to.  There were no doors and the windows were the only means of viewing each room...

I finally found a yellow that I like in the rug.  It looks very bright on the skein... When it is stitched in with the rest of the rug it is toned down quite a bit. I am happy with it this time. 

They say that the third time is a charm...

I am going to have to redo a few of the metallic stitches in the first two patterns.  They got quite worn with the three tries that I did. 

Oh well.  That will have to wait.  Walter is on his way home with Chinese food... So much for work.

See you tomorrow.
