Speaking of magic, I'm still working magic on my dollhouse--going into week three, I am painting, constructing some furniture, painting sticks for curtain rods, playing with new chandeliers which are actually 2-dollar-on-sale Christmas ornaments, and getting ready to move this heavy thing to its new locale on my big long sunporch for its final interior decorating spree. Such fun! But no spectacular pics this week--you can kind of see it outside the door in my desker photo above. I like doing the painting out there so I can open windows and ventilate. I just paint with abandon however I want, try out different scrapbook papers on the interior, and now I'm experimenting with some stamped words on and in the house.

I've also been working on some art journaling, taking care of my family, working, going to my new tap dancing class on Wednesday nights, dealing with perimenopause and therefore seriously needing some chocolate AND about five uninterrupted days in a row in my crafty corner! That's not happening any time soon--I'll balance the load and steal away my creative moments fueled by dark chocolate whenever I can. At least the weather is perfect!!
And--sure wish I could see Downton Abbey!! (that's for my UK lovelies) Spoiler alert--yes, I saw what happens to dear Mrs. Bates, and I am already heart-broken! I love that character. But we have to wait three more long months. *sigh*
Anyhoo--join the blog party today and have a wonderful week!
Eat, Write, Dream, Stitch, Chocolate
I always visit my neighbors first.

The answer to your question is YES YES YES!!!! You have a lot on your plate. Can't wait to the dollhouse when you are finished. Happy crafting #4
ReplyDeleteDolls house fun sounds lovely, are you going to decorate it for Christmas? A little tree? Christmas pudding? LOL Annette #7
ReplyDeleteThat dolls house project sounds great.I LOVE dolls' houses!
ReplyDeleteI think we all need chocolate it is good for depression as well as staying awake at night, if you eat chocolate and drink water it give you heaps of energy. Anyway, good to see you have a creative load achieved this week, I can see the doll house just peeping through the window. Thanks for sharing and have a happy creative week.

ReplyDeleteOoh dark chocolate! My fave! I'll load up and come visit. :) Sounds like you're having a ball being architect, painter and interior decorator for the doll house. Look forward to seeing the finished house. Happy WOYWW! Nan G #14
ReplyDeleteOoh, dark chocolate, heaven!!! Your life sounds busy as ever. And now you're tap dancing! That's such a good idea, as exercise is just the greatest for making you feel better next to choc of course!!! Glad to hear the D.house is still being worked on; it's just gorgeous and will be an heirloom when you've finished it! Have a great WOYWW! Julie Ann xx #38

ReplyDeleteHi Sandy
ReplyDeleteyou seem to have so much on the go at the moment so if chocolate is what you need then get yourself a bucket full of it.

How can anyone be creative without dark choc, is the question! I have a jar of broken squares beside me at ALL times :)
ReplyDeleteYou sound busy, active and wonderfully creative - and your desk shows that!
Happy WOYWW and have a fun week :)
no. 22
The doll house just makes me think like a kid and look at things with imagination. Like you...painting sticks for curtain rods, spools for vases...so fun to get caught up in. Happy day... Carole #93
ReplyDeleteI don't even understand why this is a question - surely nobody would answer 'no'? I am amazed these days to see how many people are knitting there seems to be a real re-surgence. I've never been able to do it so am always in awe of what people get up to with yarn and a couple of sticks. Happy WOYWW! Cindy #106
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having a fun crafty time - but sorry to hear your lady situation is giving you grief - get that chocolate medication going but tap extra fast at dancing class to make up :0) Have a happy week MMx #51
ReplyDeleteChocolate is a must isn't it? Hope you manage to treat yourself along with some crafty time. What a shame you've had the Downton Spoiler, it's a great series so far and you'll have it before you know.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

ReplyDeletejanet#15

ReplyDeleteLynn xx
You are a girl after my own heart; several things going on at one time!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all of them.
Tap dancing?? I'm impressed, you must have bags of energy. I'm worn out just thinking about it, lol! Actually, I adore tap dancing in films...Gene Kelly...sigh. The Clark brothers. Gregory Hines...all wonderful dancers. Good Luck, I hope it's going well
ReplyDeleteI saw the most amazing wooden tree dolls house in Bath today. Hard to describe but I shall show it next week. I want it!
And we have a lot to deal with putting up with our body changes...chocolate is good for the soul!
Hugs, LLJ 44 xx
A very interesting WOYWW. Have a good week! xx Jan 113
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks so ... cosy ... and fun .... and I can't wait to see the next instalment of the DH. Chocolate is the best cure for so many things, menopause included :o)
ReplyDeleteYes, lets just sit and eat chocolate! Sounds good to me! :)
ReplyDeleteI have to say you have such and warm cozy inviting space. Thank you for having me! :)

My, my, you are really busy! My mom has a huge dollhouse but most of what's in it are store bought. Yours sounds like such fun! And with chocolate? Perfect!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteI'd say you have lots going on! You have lots of projects going at the same time. I hope you'll show us your finished doll house. I think I'm done with the "M" word and it feels oh, so good. You'll make it, promise!
Now, I've almost watched all of Season 3 of Downton Abbey (someone else keeps requesting it from the Library so I can't get through the entire season before having to return it). Are you watching Season Three or Four? I don't think Season Four starts here until 2014....
Happy belated WOYWW
Peace, Kay (19)
Menopause or not, I still need chocolate! What fun, tap dancing classes!! I haven't done that for years. Hope you have a great time at them. Hugs. Pam#37
ReplyDeleteYep - if all else fails - head for the chocolate! x Jo
