OK. "We" finished all of the holes. I am not going to start every one of these pieces at once... I know that Tessie thinks that's the way that it should be done, but I am not so sure...
Please note that the largest piece is the one that she wants done first... a love seat. Thank goodness, I didn't have any blanks for couches!
While I was doing the holes, my mind wandered to other minis that I could do assembly line fashion. I thought of the large stack of House of Miniatures kits that I bought for two dollars a piece at an antique store several years ago. I have used some of them in room boxes, but I still have quite a few. I am never one to pass up a mini bargain!
I decided to stain them all at once. I have three done. That took about 20 minutes. I dipped each piece in the stain. Laid them out on a paper towel and blotted them until I was satisfied with the color.
Of course Tessie is all for this kind of mini making. She somehow thinks that they are all going to be done in a day or two. No Tessie. It will take as long as it takes. I will make them as needed. The only difference is I won't have to wait for the stain to dry before using the kits.
I have a few that I have done some carving on. Those will have to wait for stain until they are completely carved and ready to go. I am just doing the pieces that I probably won't carve.
Anyway, I am going back and do a bit more staining. Then I will decide what to do next. I still have a pile of jewelry findings laying on the floor in the workroom. I don't really want to do that. No fun at all!
Back to the grindstone.
See you tomorrow.

Hello Casey,
I can't really blame Tessie...I am just as impatient!
Big hug
