So today I was bored and decided this is the day that I start on my mini display for the April Show and Sale in Westside. I have been collecting items for years for a South West House and though I have not found the perfect house yet I am going to at least put the treasures out so I can enjoy them. This is an altered Adams Cottage that I bought at a Peddlar's market a couple of years ago. It is pretty small but will work for this display. I am using paint(actually a warm white not Yellow) and TP to give the outside an adobe look. The inside I will paint and for the floor I will make paper clay tiles. It will turn into a wine tasting room and hope to eventually make a patio and ........ I will post my progress as I go along this personal challenge. I have so many things I would like to do felting and making collages but for the next few weeks I am going to work on this. I am taking a course in Kelowna in Feb doing vintage embellishing and have an envelope swap to do too but I think that is Feb now too? Always projects to do!

Yay Judy! I too am making a push to finish (at least to the point of display-able!) my Southwest house by April! And the hobbit wall box...I don't know if I can, but I'm trying! I sure hope you're able to display yours - it's a great start! :)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your progress Judy. I have a general store kit I bought many years ago, maybe I will dig it out and start working on it soon.
