Thank You so much!!
Janet, if your still interested after I finish it all up I'll send you an email.
Also for anybody else that may be interested in other houses I have done, I have about 15 I need to clear off my desk to make room for more.
, I will be adding them to my Etsy shop once I find some time. I may also have a couple of original MIJ houses for sale too...nothing too fancy, but possibly a neat little purple church with a Padre and tin cross....if I can bring myself to part with it...
Maria, that ribbon slotter looks great, I will need to investigate the sizes! I always say Im going to get something before I start another house...and then I never do and then of course my fingers are sore for a couple days.
Lynn, the fence isn't too bad, you just have to be careful not to crease it. Don't worry too much if it does get creased a little the coco is pretty good at covering minor things up. I usually warm the cardboard up in my hands a bit and slowly work it with my fingers or roll it around my wrist or bend around a finger depending on the degree of the curve. One thing I ALWAYS do is make the section of the fence about 4-5 inches longer than I need and cut off the extra after I have it curved and figure the right size.
I got the house primed and drying and will post pics after it has sat for a bit. I also made a car with my pattern I did finally. It came out pretty good, I will post pics. But I think I am going to make another one for this house instead of the one I just did. After I finished I noticed the one in Petes picture has a tiny bit smaller engine compartment, and isn't quite as tall. I think I just need to trim a little off my pattern. I will post pics of the cars too.
Hope everybody is having a great Saturday. I just mowed my lawn for the first time this year and am going to grill out tonight! Cant wait!!!
