A guy friend/neighbor of mine came over the other day and I showed him all my projects, which, admittedly, have not all been started. I showed him the Fisher-Price castle, two empty boxes, The Newport(1/2 finished) the hatbox, and the birdhouse-house. I wasn't really looking at his face, but I think his two eyes were prolly rolling around in his head as he burst out.. "you have too many things going on!" Hahahahaha.
Sure, I have a lot of projects I am working on, or planning; so what?! I pay my bills, I feed the cats & the dog when they're hungry, I shower every day, and eat three squares. I even make contact with the outside world at least a couple times a day...so please, the rest of the time, leave me alone when 'I'm in my own little world'. lol.
The first photo is the inside (so far) of the birdhouse-house. It is no longer a birdhouse; I think a family of dragons is moving in, due to circumstances beyond my control...
The second photo is what results when you hurry and don't pay attention to which side of the wall you are shingling. I decided to turn it into a kind of a 'bats in the belfry' scenario, but have to work on it some more.
The third photo shows my tower walls shingled and glued together-except for the one I goofed on. Ah, well, it's optional to put the back on; I can use the tower as a room, I think Cousin Itt would like it up there as his room.
I am also shingling the front roof panel. I really like shingling, and that's a good thing; there is a lot of shingling to do on this house!

Its unbelievable the transformation the bird house took! Wow, you cant even tell it used to be a birdhouse. Great job. I LOVE your shingles! How did you make them all of those different colors? If I would have seen this before now, I would have loved this effect on my Beacon Hill. It is beautiful.
I can relate to people being amazed at the work load of projects. At least you shower everyday, more than I can say for myself. lol
Just kidding! I dont want to be known as the non bathing dollhouse blogging girl. :)
These shingles are all different 'colors', must be the way the wood took the stain. they look like I did something to them, but in reality, it's partly the way the light hits then, as well as the way the camera light hits them.
I just bought some more, but when I got them home, they don't look the same. I hope I don't need to use any of them for this house.
The original shingles that came with the Newport were just regular flat shingles, and I decided that would not do at all for the Addams Family!
