    Too late for Tea Tuesday

    KNOCK, KNOCK…
    HELLO… 
    Does anyone still care what I have to say and share after all this time. Yikes! 
    I’ve been keeping my screen time at a minimum lately…mostly just enjoying our unseasonably warm weather. I was too late to even have tea today.

    I actually have been working on a few projects…none of them ready for viewing.

    I did want to share Little J’s school project though. She came up with the concept…I just had to help figure out how to make it stand alone.  
     I covered a bowl in wax paper then had her glue row after row of mini-marshmallows. After everything set up for several days I was able to remove the bowl leaving the wax paper intact.
    Check out the little fire she thought up as well. Tiny rocks from the sandbox and a synthetic dyed leaf cut into “fire” smooshed into a pool of glue before placing the igloo. 
    The photos don’t show it but the whole works was sprinkled with a generous coating of iridescent  glitter for that “authentic” snow look.  
    I’m sure everyone else has already left their links over at Kimmie’s blog long ago. Stop by and see for yourself.

    Fairy door

    I saw a fun challenge and decided to go for it since I haven’t worked much with miniatures lately.  I found that I really miss it. 

    I love making faux stone. It’s my favorite technique.

    Have a magical day!!

    Gingerbread house

    As promised…the gingerbread house made at school. There was more sugar than should be legal in a classroom!

    The three bears crack me up…

    especially when there is a fourth hiding behind a tree.

    Wow, I just realized this was my 4th post of the day. I guess I’ve had things to say just no time to say them. Today was no exception but I did manage to get a ton of stuff done…apparently I work best under pressure.
