The paint only left the monotone detail, which I love. Growing up we had a very fancy Sears department store and once the ceiling was finished I had flashbacks of their fancy ceiling and flooring!<br />I think back when buildings were more form than function the architects would not have given a thought to flour particles. But cleaners were affordable when execs didn't earn 7000 times their salary. :O) Thank goodness for mini license!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-49391852277485268752020-01-08T07:47:08.216-08:002020-01-08T07:47:08.216-08:00Thank you.

I can't imagine the amount of flour and dust that would cling to the ceiling though.<br /><br />Of course that's why miniatures are wonderful.

It thrills me to find simpler and less expensive ways to achieve my goals!<br />I definitely tried to make up for lost time when I finally got to get back into minis! Doing so many projects so fast was a great way to learn - especially what not to do, lol! 2 projects in five years sounds like the perfect pace!<br />The idea of someday having a grandchild to help raise makes my heart soar! I think I will find that to have been my purpose in life, lol! But I have also been very careful to put no pressure on my kids. If they decide not to have them or not to adopt (my daughter;s spoken preference), I may just adopt a grandmotherless family myself, lol!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-33039600081142620612020-01-06T13:19:40.104-08:002020-01-06T13:19:40.104-08:00Thank you Carrie and I am so excited that you got ...Thank you Carrie and I am so excited that you got a Maker!!!

I know we will make awesome grandma partners! Combining family holidays is also in the plans so that is a huge bonus! We have a great relationship with our daughter's fiance's family, too, so we are extremely grateful!<br />I always have the best intentions to finish off all my nearly finished projects but I lack the discipline! If there is no inspiration or excitement, I just can't get started! I admire you for getting those finished up and can't wait to see and hear about your plans!

But if I ponder things long enough I seem to be able to fake my way through it, lol!

And...First of all: Happy New Year to you and yours! And what a start into the new year - with such a wonderful post. ;O)<br /><br />I really loved to follow the whole process of developing and creating your stunning, beautiful ceiling. It's always so amazing to see how simple embellishments like sticker lines or half pearls can be turned into something looking like carved wood or stucco with "just" paint and the genius of a miniaturist with visions. Speaking of this, I'm impressed about your "Pound Cake Drawer", so clever to save all the items needed to be ready to go when the time has come - including the electrical items. And even better - you're already prepared for certain and very special family events... you really made me smile about the kit being saved for a grandchild in a hopefully not so far away future. <br /><br />Not to forget - your earlier projects are stunning and I am impressed by your productivity. 5 projects in 2 years… hmmmm… in my case perhaps 2 projects in 5 years… *tweet* Oh, and another thing I really need to mention: It's always fascinating what you and your cricut are able to do together - and I really like how you're thinking ahead using every piece and avoiding waste. <br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-19873157907348036642020-01-05T14:02:03.977-08:002020-01-05T14:02:03.977-08:00Wow Jodi, that is an incredible ceiling.

Exciting times ahead! I really love how your ceiling has turned out. What a beautiful job. I so totally agree with you about the fun of planning - often one of my favourite aspects of this crazy hobby of ours.

The coffered ceiling is looking awesome! The many layers of detail are finicky to make but make all the difference in the end! The Victorians did like to load up on trims and decorations, so it is perfect for the period of the building! I am impressed with all your layers and precisely measured cuts... even with the help of the machinery, it still takes setting it up well! And Bonus to using all those cut-out middles! Well done! I am eagerly looking forward to seeing more! :):)Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-66503117681731659992020-01-05T03:19:59.015-08:002020-01-05T03:19:59.015-08:00First a happy new year and that you can enjoy ever...First a happy new year and that you can enjoy everything that is mini again.
