Baby Steps

Yesterday and today, there wasn't enough time to do anything useful on the dollhouse... real work comes first. So at lunchtime, I grabbed a minute to 'antique' these gold frames that I picked up at the dollhouse store. Just rubbing black paint over them, then rubbing it off, makes them look so much better! They will be used in the living room.

I also was able to patch the empty space above the kitchen stove, painted it to match the ceiling, so that is all done. Took a lot of fiddly carving with an exacto, to fit the little piece of thin plywood into the hole nicely. 
Also, the new pet came. She's adorable, but her eyes weren't painted and she would look better with actual painted eyes. So when I get a minute, I will paint and gloss her eyes and dab a little gloss on her nose. Looking for a name...

But... they are terrifically social! It's not nice to keep one alone! And I'm afraid you'd never catch me with a rodent that will grow larger than a beaver and needs to constantly chew... still, very cute... especially in an imaginary setting...

Don't worry, Mel, there are more animals coming. :)
