Happy New Year! I am bound and determined to finish All the projects I have started and there are many!
The first project on my list of many is the dollhouse I started and have not had the free time to complete.
With time off school for the Holidays I whittled out two days to work on little else but the dollhouse. It was a bit of a challenge in that there were no directions just the pictures of the parts and pieces.
The box offered one suggestion, "Use the picture on the box as your guide." That was it! Not one other instruction offered. So I got started by punching out every piece. (there were tons of them!)
Once all the pieces were punched out and identified I began painting.
I used three shades of blue, two shades of brown, and white.
Once the paint was dry I began assebling and gluing all the pieces together.
It began to take shape.
Some hours later the "Painted Lady" emerged.
With the exterior completed I will begin the process of furnishing the interior.
The rooms are not as large as I thought they would be but I think I can still come up with a cute finished house. The remaining furnishings may require another house, Oh My!
As soon as the interior is completed I will be sure to share it.
How do you make your house a home?

I love the buttons in the previous post! I have a few jars of old buttons. I think they are so pretty.
