A Call for Housekeeping...

I did one of those clean out and straighten jobs on Daisy's Cottage this morning...

That always makes me feel a little better.  I am not as far from finished as I thought I was.

The only real work I did on the house this morning, was to add more of the rock around the foundation... That's boring.  You've seen that before.

So I will show you what is and is not finished. 

I found the table that I was going to use in the window space... I am thinking of using it in the front, where the red chest was before.  It is upside down drying right now.

I went to clean the bathroom and found the baby elephant in the tub again.  He has been taking about a three hour bath every day...  Hey!  At least, unlike Tessie, he cleans it out when he's done.

I finally figured out why the floors and shelves are always dirty in here.

The fan from the swamp cooler blows directly on the house that I am working on... Messy!  Every few days, I have to sweep the floors with a big paintbrush.  Here we go again!
Even the rug in the bedroom looks medium brown and the couch looks faded... Wrong.  Dark brown and dark rust.

Oh well.  About the time I finish, the summer will be over and no more cooler... That's just the way my luck runs...
Yup.  They're back...  They ran out of cookies...

In a pinch, The Terrible Two plus One will settle for cake.  Alas, they remembered the cake with pink roses sitting in the middle of the table...

I do think that this one is like the chocolate cake that Tessie spelled.  She made that one so that it was neverending... Pretty amazing.  You cut a slice out and by the time you are finished eating it, the cake is whole again.  I wish I knew how she does that...

Anyway, I have to go back and chase them out now, so that I can get to work again...

See you tomorrow.

Daisy's cottage is really coming along. It looks amazing!
I love the decor- all the things you have made, and still are making, put me in awe!
I have so much to learn, but I am enjoying watching you work, Casey.
I read some more post under your blog category headings today. I'm gradually working through them all and thoroughly enjoying it.
I'm going to try to make a doll in the very near future, something I thought I would never do.
Thanks!

I look forward to seeing what you will be putting on the kitchen shelves!

Hello Casey,
It already looks wonderful in it's unfinished state. I can't wait to see more!
Big hug,

May I ask you How did you make the bubbles in the tub? They are so great and the elephant is adorable

Lisains, I simply pulled apart some high loft quilt batting and messed with I so that it was really fluffy. Then I put it in the tub around the baby elephant.
