On a hot day like this!   My sister had the idea. Sandpaper as roofing shingles.   I couldn't wait to try it!   So, I assembled the tools. And got started.    Assorted weights of sandpaper from the Dollar Tree. A punch I had on hand and some glue.   I did switch to Tacky glue midway through the project.   Now, does anyone have any ideas for the siding? Bedroom,   minus the bed still working on that one.    And the kitchen, still need a stove and to organize the hutch. Kendall found all the dishes, the clock and the broom and was so excited, that I had to get the kitchen ready.   The light fixture is a jar lid and the top of a percolator all wrapped with some jute.     Friday, at work, I had a visitor that left a whole bag of doll house furniture for me!   I had the picture here and it disappeared!   More on ...

You can tell by their artwork!    When my girls were little, we had a neighbor that pitched a minor fit if sidewalk chalk touched his sidewalk.   I never wanted to be that person. I think we can say that I achieved that goal in life! The little artists!     Below is the first room redo of the dollhouse! Just have to make a rug for under the table and find some accessories for the hutch. 

Absolutely not! But I couldn't resist.   At an auction, (from the looks of the hoard, there have been more than one too many of those lately) Inexpensive! Doesn't justify it.   But, how much are those little girls going to like it when it is done? For now, it is cleaned out and ready for decorating.   This is definitely BEFORE!   I am sure there will be photos of DURING and IN PROGRESS.   Let's just hope that we make it to AFTER!
