OK. We went to see Central Intelligence this morning... Good movie. Lots of fun.
I only mention that so that you will understand why I haven't gotten more done on the antique shop.
I did get another wall covered in stucco.
This is what I am using... I call it Spackle. They call it Patching Plaster... It's the same thing as far as I am concerned. I have used both. They both work the same.
Anyway, proof of work. Here's the second wall.
See. I did do something besides watching movies today!
I know. "Two more walls to go. Get to work!" That's what Tessie said!
I am leaning towards something in the story book style. I am thinking that this building would lend itself to that.
I have always liked the outside of the Buttercup Book Store.
Not necessarily in the same colors. Just some rocks added to the outside, here and there.
I started this yesterday afternoon. I am thinking of trying my hand at the kind of free form that looks like the photo below. I don't think that I will make mine as thick as that one.
I got it at the gem show a few years ago... It is very heavy. I want something a bit lighter... Or maybe I will free form this one a little differently. Make it up as I go along...
I know! Get back to the antique shop. Hey! I have to have something to do whilst watching TV in the evenings. I can't mini 24 hours a day... It's either this or knitting.
Back to work.
See you tomorrow.

Hi Casey. Now that you have shown me the Buttercup Book Store again, I am considering
doing a version of that on the little unfinished cottage I have been telling you about. Just on the bottom half of the outside with egg cartons. I have saved a boatload and should use them for something. The cottage is so bad, it can only get better.
By the way, I was not able to remove all the wallpaper from the inside walls. What
do you think of my putting stucco over it?

Phyllisa, if I were you, I would try to get the wallpaper off first. I would use very hot water and a scrub brush to take as much off, as I could. If you don't, you run the risk of losing rocks. The rocks on the buttercup are air drying clay. Not egg cartons!
Oops! I meant stucco!
