The cat is disconsolately wandering through the empty Del Prado Dollhouse, wondering whether the human was eaten by giant spider.  The truth is much more mundane.   I'm dealing with real life at present, and it's crap.  Happily, I'm able to escape once in a while to make a sweet little birdhouse or two.  I will be posting about that next week.

In the meantime, everyone who is within driving distance, remember that there is a miniature fair in Bryanston, Johannesburg next Saturday.  I hope to see many of you there for shopping, and to attend the Sweet Little Birdhouse workshop.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

  2. Oh it is so much harder to have to put the dollhouse on hold when you've been make such creative breakthroughs! But, you'll be back at it in no time and we'll be here waiting. Good luck with the class - can't wait to hear all about it!

    1. Thank you Jodi! I think I need to ask someone to take pictures at the workshop. I always have good intentions to do it, then I get wrapped up in the moment and I forget.

  3. Hi Megan, I have to say that I am rather relieved that the huge spider has disappeared for the time being, but sad to hear that you are going through some RL unpleasantness right now. Hopefully it will all clear up quickly and your trip to the Miniature Fair will be nothing but smooth sailing from then on.

    1. Thank you Elizabeth! I'm actually fine, and on schedule with preparations for the workshop for once. My husband is having some real difficulties though. When it's my own problems, I usually employ coping mechanisms successfully, but when he is in a state, I feel so helpless.

  4. I hope that you can sort out everything in real life, Megan.
    It's a pity that your dollhouse is put on hold, but we will patiently until you'll be back.
    Have fun at the Miniature Fair, I hope you'll have many participants for your workshop.
    Hug, Ilona

  6. Phew!.. No spider in site! The cat does look rather lonely though. I hope your workshop went well and will send good vibes across the Indian to your husband. I hope all is sorted soon. ((hugs))

    1. Thank you Sam! I'm in the throes of packing hundreds of little baggies with everything needed for the workshop, and nursing my husband's self esteem in the background. I'm so looking forward to next week, when hopefully life will be on an even keel again.

  7. I'm sorry to hear that you have to cope with some issues in your real life... let's hope that there are better days for you and your husband to come soon. But it's nice to hear that your workshop is booked, I'm wishing you loads of fun at that fair... and in the meantime the cat will take good care of your house - or is it Mrs. Smithi taking good care of the cat? Hmmmm... ;O)

    Greetings

  8. These things tend to happen to everybody. But we always come out of it and sometimes even better than before. I hope you and your family get back to a good rhythm. God bless.
    hugs,
