One of the things that really bothers me about this pandemic is the impact on older people. My 83/4 year old father in law has been trapped in his house in Germany for 18 months now. Normally, he would come and visit us for a few months during the European winter and be involved with all his clubs and societies at home in between. At that age, I can understand his frustration. One feels that your time is running out. We Skype with him every day but it is not enough.<br />Enjoy the visit and make the most of the time with your parents!<br />Megan Schetschehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267976778350267276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-33318434642362773132021-06-17T06:36:02.485-07:002021-06-17T06:36:02.485-07:00Dear Jodi, I LOVE that new kit excitement!

The enclosed stair is a great example... added bonus powder room space! And a fireplace too! It is amazing how much can be fit into a small space. And the care you take with things like the paint in the grooves... don't we all know the times we didn't? I am really looking forward to seeing this beach house develop! :) (And I'm so late to comment here... I already have a clue!

My work has come to a screeching halt: parents are coming from Arizona and getting the house ready takes all the free time. They will stay with my brother, as well, and are not sure how long they'll visit for. So I'll just pick back up on the kit again as time allows. It's going to be so great to squeeze them and celebrate that all of us made it through Covid in one piece!<br />I can't wait until you start on the Beacon Hill! It looks like such a fun kit with so much character! And the tab and slot houses are so much fun to customize! You'll turn it in to a show stopper!!!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-79611196610699734592021-06-15T23:10:56.066-07:002021-06-15T23:10:56.066-07:00I simply adore your architectural improvements to ...I simply adore your architectural improvements to the Beach Bungalow! Instead of just another dollhouse, it is starting to have real character and it's going to be so cozy to live in. <br />I'm in awe of the speed at which you are progressing. Very soon, the entire structure will be there and you can get down to the fun of decorating. <br />Thank you also for the tips about preparing the pieces for assembly. When I finally get around to building Beacon Hill, I will have no excuses for the mistakes I make.

I feel like if you had been a teacher a whole generation of kids would have grown up believing that they were awesome and could do anything! 💗<br /><br />A guest bath is a perfect way to describe the powder room (extra room with a sink and toilet)! It is just simply known in every house that you better never do your #2's in there, and it better stay in pristine cleanliness in case any unexpected guests should come by! 😊Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-25628608486627966302021-06-11T06:27:10.806-07:002021-06-11T06:27:10.806-07:00Siempre encontrando la manera de sacar los mejor d...Siempre encontrando la manera de sacar los mejor de las cosas!!!Isabel Ruizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01237109170061222494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-68345312470681166692021-06-10T10:02:04.589-07:002021-06-10T10:02:04.589-07:00I can only agree with our dear Drora - this kit al...I can only agree with our dear Drora - this kit already got a very good dose of Jodi's touch! I've enjoyed very much discovering with you the possibilities this kit offers when being in the hands of a talented miniaturist. I'm always in awe with your stairs having a landing... but this time you've outdone yourself. The idea of a bench being at the same time a step for the stairs is brilliant. And I also like how you've managed to find space for a powder room - which also taught me a new English expression. In German we call this type of small or tiny toilet rooms (literally translated) guest toilets.<br /><br />As always I'm looking forward to see more! ;O)<br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-70359711400541092222021-06-10T06:50:50.683-07:002021-06-10T06:50:50.683-07:00Thanks for you kind sentiments, Marilyn!
