Doors

 I've been feeling a little lazy the last month or so.  I spent some time writing and I participated in the May MiniMakers challenge on Instagram.  It's fun but it's also difficult for me because Instagram is not something I feel 'good' at dealing with. 

But I did accomplish a few things and I got some mini treasure that I want to share as well.

I've been working on my shipping container doors and I've gotten them hinged and attached and they're looking pretty good so far. I'm tempted to change the sliding inner doors to accordion doors but we'll see. 

 So far so good.  

I tend to struggle with plexiglass and making even breaks so I thought I'd use my Cricut to cut out my panes for the accordion doors I wanted to do on the back wall of the first floor.  More of my attempts to keep the Building Inspector out of my dollhouse.

I'd figured out the measurements I needed last week and how I would make them fold and slide.

Either the plastic was shifting or the knife blade wasn't strong enough.

I managed to salvage the plastic though.  And I got my wall supports measured and glued together. I had to make a couple adjustments but finally got everything figured out.

I wanted two sets of doors, one for the kitchen and one for the living room portion of the lower level.

So far so good. I glued the walls into place and I'm waiting for them to dry. I need to prime and paint everything before I can really put it all together but at least I'm getting somewhere.

And now...my treasures... I got some gorgeous shoes and a purse and belt from Patrizia Santi. You can see her gorgeous creations on Instagram .

I'm in love...

And then because I have serious impulse control problems I bought a bunch of pillows from Brae's shop.

They're so cute I can't stand it!

But that's all my progress so far.  I've got two weeks of vacation coming soon so I can mini and write to my heart's content.

Can't wait.
