This weekend, despite my best intentions, I didn't get a lot really organized or cleaned. Instead I decided to finish up a project that I've had on the backburner for a while.
I have to be in a certain mood to make furniture (meaning from scratch not a kit) and until lately I haven't been.
But I managed to make a chair, a bed, a table and lamp.
I had a hard time deciding on how to place the bed. Ultimately I glued it down but in a position that I forgot to take a picture of.
But it still looks festive. So I'm pretty happy with it.
I also broke out the spray on adhesive and my fine 'snow' glitter and added it to the outside. This was the other thing I'd been meaning to do for a while.
It is much more sparkly in person I promise.
I'll try to get some better pictures soon. But that's it for my accomplishments this weekend.
Hope you're all staying safe and healthy and having a good week so far.
Hi Sheila. Your cottage looks good! And well done on making the furniture. I fully underatand how you need to be in the right mood for these things. I would say that is good progress for a weekend. X
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas themed cottage looks so wonderful and snug already, as well on the in and outside.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with you that the beautiful glittering snow is almost invisible through the lens of a camera. I have also tried to photograph it many times, but I got the same result as you, Sheila, so I know that it does indeed show a lot more sparkling in reality ;) .
Stay safe, take care, dear Sheila!
Hugs, Ilona
You did quite a lot, and all looks fabulous. My favorite is the little table.

Hi Sheila! This is another really cute project! I can imagine a tiny bird family living in this house! The lights you used are very festive... and I can see the glitter! I never know the best way to "attach" the glitter... I tend to not like sprays.... (I don't like the air filled with things like glue!) So I end up globbing on glue and making a real mess! I think the shutters on the "doors" are a sweet touch! Of course, the old fashioned "hi-fi" is priceless!!! :)
