First I Wash the Sheet.....

The poor worktable looks so empty.... and dirty.

I need to clean up the area and make it ready for something new...
This morning we moved the cottage out to the kitchen.  It fits perfectly under the cabinet where the quilt shop was. 

The nice thing about this location is, if someone wants to see all four sides, the whole thing slides out onto the middle of the counter for viewing.

The Terrible Two are eating breakfast as I type.  Chocolate chip cookies and orange juice.  Healthy menu.



The Rusty Needle moved into the bedroom on one of the nightstands.  It looks pretty good there.  Just enough room. 

For the rest of the day, I am going to wander around in circles and try to think of what I want to do next, that does not involve cleaning my workroom. I don't want to do that!

Back to circling and thinking....

See you tomorrow.

Nothing better then an empty worktable... an empty canvas to start a new project. I am a bit jealous of your workspace, it looks so organized and clean. I must admit my worktable looks like a battlefield right now. I littery have to tiptoe across the room to reach my chair because the floor is full of (just painted) walls and windows drying :)
I am in love with the tree parts of the Forest fantasy Cottage, real bark of faux? Eitherway it looks superb! hugs AM

I know what you mean Casey. I'm struggling with the same thing - what to do next. I have an idea for a 5-part Christmas series, the first piece being a North Pole Postal Service made inside one of those large white metal rural mail boxes. That's what I WANT to do. However, my granddaughter wants me to make her an owl emporium in a dollhouse kit I have lying around. I have talked her into a wizard's emporium instead to give me more latitude but I'm not much in the mood to get that started either. But, she is my granddaughter and she did ask nicely so I guess that's what I HAVE to do! - Marilyn D., Oromocto, New Brunswick, Canada

AM, go to the sidebar and hit Forest Fantasy Cottage. Then keep hitting older posts at the bottom of each page. I started working on this one in April. The trees were one of the first things I added. I did them with crochet cotton from Walmart. Then painted them with a few different colors of Ceramcoat acrylic paint. All of the info that you are looking for is there. Good luck!
