my loot from the show, part two
painting the house

microwaved windows

I made quite a bit of progress on the contest kit the last couple of days. 

DSCN1780

The windows and doors were disassembled and stained...microwaving them for 10 seconds softens the glue enough to pull them apart.  I'll wipe them down this evening, then let them sit until Saturday morning to make sure they are all the way dry before I put the acrylic back in and glue them back together.

Holes and grooves for electrics is done as far as I can take it for now.  The rest of the walls got a coat of gesso and were sanded.  I got the beams taped and was going to spray paint them, until I looked out my window and noticed it was snowing.  I'm sure by the time it warms up again all the painter's tape will have let loose.

I'd have got more done, but daughter rented a bunch of movies ;)

Snowing?!! *faints*

Movies on a snow day is the best!

Well, the "best" is when the snow is done for the season, but movie day is second best.

Hi Keli, Just caught up with your recent posts. What a great time you had at the Chicago Show. I can well imagine the feverish decisions on what to purchase and what to, regretabbly, leave behind.
Thanks for the photos, really enjoyed them. Loved all your glass bottle purchases.
regards Janine
