Check out this giveaway!

Hey, kids!  There is a great giveaway over at miniaturepatisseriechef.blogspot.com. Go check it out!  Pei Li has some absolutely lovely tiny treasures!

I have been working on the artist cottage but mostly in my mind. (Ha!)  I did take a whack at a stucco exterior using DAP plaster patch becasue I have read others had used it successfully.  It IS like frosting a cake!  Much thinner than spackle.  Took me a while to get the hang of it but then......What fun!!!  I had a blast getting my hands all crusty and goopy!  I'll try to post some pics later today between loads of laundry!
:)

I stopped by Dollar Tree the other day (don't you just adore that place?) and found a china doll!  She has a sweet face and her toes are pointed so I think I can work with that by making some shoes for her out of clay.  I mean, who wants to walk aroung on tippy-toe all day? Ouch!

I also have "cracked down" on myself to organize my craft room.  I am really bad about stashing stuff in all sorts of places by the kitchen so I can work on mini projects if I get a spare second. My hubs isn't overly happy with this since I already ahve a huge craft room downstairs!!  I see his point...So I have been busily moving all my stashed goodies (there are ALOT) from upstairs to the downstairs room.  And going thru little stashes I find here and there.  So fun tho sort thru my mini goodies!!! I'll take some pics later to show you my progress.  Found a big set of shelves this weekend at a church sale for $5.  Awesome bargain!!  Ok, back to laundrry for a bit!!
