Easter Weekend

Easter weekend went so fast. A friend and I went back to Warrenton (Roundtop Antique Week) on Friday. We bought a couple of items but didn't see a lot for 1/4 inch scale. But, we had a lot of fun looking.

Saturday Cliff went with me to Dollhouse Unlimited in Spring Cypress. Great store, lots of stuff, but not much for 1/4 inch scale to buy. Lots of great ideas in projects that Sherrill has done over the years. I think the key for me is trying to get small figures for my houses.  I remember having lots of tiny figures to play with as a child, but I guess they are choking hazards now so we can't have them.

Anyway, Sunday!  I decided it was time to get serious......with playing.  I just made the box bed and have been mulling over some ideas on other things for my mouse house.  I have a little craft wood but needed more, so I headed for Michael's. OMG! It's Easter, hello, not open.  Hobby Lobby, never open on Sunday.  Texas Art Supply, nope! Joann's, no way. Lowe's, yes but the supply consists of hardwood round and square dowels.  Ever determined, I bought one in every small size for about $8 (should last me forever!)  Starbucks, then let the playing begin.  When I finally sat down in my craft room and started doing, I had no solid plans.  What fun just letting my imagination flow. And I ended up with a sofa, chair, end table, and refrigerator!  The rest of the evening was spent painting these and a tiny stove, table and 2 chairs.
