She decided one day that she needed to re-tile her bathroom. She proceeded to tear all of the old tile and backer board out of the tub and shower surround. She hung plastic painters tarps over the stud openings so the shower could still be used while she decided. That was in 2004. She still has not decided, and the painters tarps are still up. Just sayin'... :O)Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-59184917191597928882015-12-18T13:58:42.252-08:002015-12-18T13:58:42.252-08:00Jodi, They have been waiting for a year while I do...Jodi, They have been waiting for a year while I do anything else I can think of to put off the commitment. I really have to finish sewing the doll clothes before Christmas as they are a present. But, you know, maybe I 'll just borrow some of your backbone, face up to the issue and do it for the New Year.

That it should be displayed as the imagining I had for that project, and remain like a time capsule. That may change if and when I ever start collecting real artisan pieces. It also makes it harder for me to "borrow" things from completed projects that I may not return!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-11881032067466838892015-12-15T12:22:14.463-08:002015-12-15T12:22:14.463-08:00Whatever your process is, don't change a thing...Whatever your process is, don't change a thing!

The smaller, less costly items I tend to glue, but using tiny dots of glue. The other things get smeared with a bit of Stick it Again, and hope for the best. Meaning mostly that neither the item, nor what it sets on is not seriously "wounded". So much inspiration from these postings, thanks.
