"no genius here"...the base is a 2-inch square piece of corrugated cardboard from the material you find when you strip away the vinyl covers from 3-ring binders...I'll fill in the flutes with a couple of coats of white paint...

Howard...

Ah, okay. I just really like your "neatness" factor on all of your builds sir. I am always trying to keep mine more organized and cleaner looking as well!

greetings to all...

my version of Lynn's "Twin Peak Fireplace Cottage" is finished...hope you all approve of the color combinations...

i'm still working on some details for the diorama that will feature the fireplace and the miniature houses...but it's going to be awhile...

Howard...

Awesome color combination my friend! The purple and teal green are a perfect match!

For now my fireplace is done. Maybe someday Santa may be part of the scene. The stockings are pictures I found and it just so happens they are the very same ones I had as a small child. They are printed on a printable fabric sheet, sewn together with a wool cuff.

The tree store bought is covered with all sorts of things. Some very old, some I made, trinkets I have saved over the years. The skirt is red flannel.

Howard thanks so much for a great project that has been so much fun!!

Just one word "WOW!!"

Great job.

The tree and the stockings are so perfect for the fireplace. And when it is lit up - unbelievable. An amazing project.

Now that's one "Putzeriffic" project Lynn! Great job!
