Flowers, Floors, and 3D Printing

June 15, 2026 at 8:28 am by Claudia

This crown vetch is my favorite thing at the moment. And, as you can see, bees love it. It’s quite tall and is growing outside of the big garden bed. This year, with all the reseeded plants filling every bit of the big garden bed, it’s getting a very natural and wild look. If I could ever so slightly control that, it would be good news for me. Less weeding, more plants, less back pain. Fingers crossed!

Oh my god, the Knicks! That game was intense and both Don and I had given up and were sure they’d have to play at least one more game in NYC, but wow! They rallied, they took control, and they WON. We were up too late and woke up too early the next morning, but it was worth it.

The wood floors are complete in the Beacon Hill kitchen.

I love this kitchen, The three windows over the sink are so charming. My only wish it that is was a bit larger, but that’s okay. There’s room for a stove and refrigerator. Speaking of stoves, I had an idea over the weekend and wrote a post on my IG miniatures account that showed a photo of Stella. I asked if someone thought it might be possible to make a 3D printed version of my stove. It would be much less expensive, and I might be perfectly happy with it. Someone came through and we are going to collaborate. I will provide photos of Stella and measurements, as well. The husband and wife team on that account would offer it in their shop so that others could also have a vintage stove in their dollhouses. I figure, why not try? My ideal is the one I’ve shown you, but it’s over $300 and neither of us is working. This one would cost me between 50 and 60 dollars. I’d have to paint it and figure out what paint to use so that the white looks like enamel and the chrome is chrome-looking. I figure, what have I got to lose? Even if it’s not my ideal, it can be a place holder until I can save up the money for the one on Etsy.

Wish us luck!

The temperatures are much more sane this morning, so I’m going to do some work outside.

Stay safe.

Happy Monday.

    What a clever idea to have a 3-D version of Stella made. A much more reasonable cost. Your crown vetch is very pretty. It must feel great to have the kitchen floor finished. It’s all coming together rather nicely. Hugs, Elaine

      The hardest thing to deal with will be the stairs and the hallways. It’s already assembled, so I have to try to work around them when I wallpaper.

      Thanks, Elaine.

      Stay safe.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
