I actually did some work on the dollhouse.
Yes. I’m not kidding.
I applied two coats of mod podge to seal the stones. Now for grout. Frankly it makes me nervous. It could dramatically change the look of the house. So I’m going to try it on the two rows of stones at the back of the house first. The grout mix I have on hand is a dark gray. I may try to lighten it a bit – how, I’m not sure. This will be tricky.
Okay, I’m going to stop talking about it or I’ll talk myself out of it.
Breaking news: It’s sunny today!
The puzzle is coming along nicely. I dropped off the box of eggcups and they are now winging their way to Birmingham, AL. They should arrive at Country Living’s offices tomorrow. I vacuumed. I did the aforementioned work on the dollhouse.
And I dressed little Livvy in this outfit, which arrived in yesterday’s mail and took about two months to get here.
Socks, dress, and pinafore from LenaLittleDress on Instagram. (I have many of her adorable outfits.) There was another dress in the package but I have to decide who should model it.
Livvy is darned adorable. Her face is so beautifully carved (by VegaDolls) and those eyes!
Dolls, dollhouses, books, puzzles = Claudia’s favorite avenues of escape.
Yesterday was the 6th anniversary of the day we said goodbye to Scoutie. It doesn’t seem possible that it’s been 6 years, just as it doesn’t seem possible that my dad has been gone for 6 years. I lost my dad on October 29th of 2015 and Scoutie on the following February 8th. Just a little over 3 months apart.
Oh lord. The ad that just came up on the sidebar was for “Pilates for Seniors.”
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.
