Something To Hold Onto

Here's the time I make a confession: I don't measure.  Okay, I sometimes measure, but mostly I "eyeball" everything.  Making miniatures has much to do with patience.  Unfortunately, I have none.  I work with pieces before the glue has dried; my final fit is my dry fit; and if it looks to scale, it's to scale.  So there you go: confessions of a manic miniaturist (good blog title for someone).

I made and installed a railing for the loft portion of my loft.  Of course, I eyeballed the entire thing versus measuring anything, so it might look a little odd.  But it's nothing a ton of accessories can't fix, or hide.  I also continued working on the windows.  Similarly, I've been asking my dad to bring me some spare plexiglass for about 2 weeks now because I'm too cheap to buy my own.  Needless to say, my windows are glass-free.  Apparently my family doesn't care about the overall health of my dollhouse dolls.

Speaking of, my ferret Patrick, whom I frequently write about, decided to steal and hide my look-a-like doll pictured here in her former glory:

So Patrick, if you're reading this (which I'm sure you are because you probably stole someone's laptop) please give her back.
