The better to sand you dear.....

Trying a new color. So far , even though it has had multiple lives, this house has only been cream or white. I decided to experiment with some colors from the Providence Houses - this was a green color.

I'm pretty sure this color might not make the cut, but I like the green idea.

Feeling better

The porch went on well. I experimented with putting the doors on switched, but decided that didn't work. Looking at the doors- I realized that if I really have to , I can strip them down to wood and start the trim again.

Here's the porch - I've built the doors out because I love the look of a mini room on a door- so it looks like the house is set too back on the porch. I haven't decided if the added on kitchen at the bottom left will have stone or clapboard.

Door update And Minnie F. Flylady for Dollhouses

I don't know - I learned a rule from my mother when learning to sew. Make the 3rd mistake, then stop!

So the finishing the door idea to see if I can really successfully fix this house might have been too strenuous. 

I don't know how many people know Flylady? Flylady is a support website/youtube channel/webcast resource for those of us who need support getting through our lives with our shoes on . Her motto - "You don't have to catch up, just jump in where you are", gets me through some rough self deprecating sessions.
So I'm thinking we need a mini-Flylady for dollhouse construction.

Minnie F. Flylady is working on Mottos- See what you think

 Dollhouses are for fun. Don't make them work.Or torture yourself when your work really, really looks bad.

Every dollhouse doesn't have to live on past your lifetime. Some of them need to die to make room for new dollhouses.

Okay- too silly.
