There are four good sized rooms on the first and second floors. The third story has a very low ceiling, but it will be perfect for Wayne since he is only 2" tall! 😊Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-35286452109665054982023-03-27T09:08:11.286-07:002023-03-27T09:08:11.286-07:00Quite a large building, very beautiful also the wi...Quite a large building, very beautiful also the windows, great!Gondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10141441458794152107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-70327991200283526252023-03-20T10:00:52.690-07:002023-03-20T10:00:52.690-07:00Hello Grandmommy!

Soon, when I begin to glue the walls to the foundation and then attempt to fit the floors in, I may create a few very colorful new words, lol! Please wish me lots of luck! 🤞🤞🤞Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-70030152805860765332023-03-20T09:51:07.582-07:002023-03-20T09:51:07.582-07:00Thanks Betsy!

I am really loving the purple and green theme, too!<br />I am so glad you benefited from the wall diagram - I know the way I work out of order and on loose walls can be disorienting! My flat wall method has its benefits but also puts me at risk for major challenges when it comes time to erect them if I haven't thought of and considered all the implications. This is especially true with DuraCraft kits because they are already more complicated and combine more loose parts to assemble than many other kits. Please wish me luck - I am going to need it, and soon!<br />As for Paperclay, I really believe you will love it! As talented as you are with painting and carving and stitching, and with your incredible imagination and level of detail, it could change your crafting life! Please gift yourself a set of the glaze pens and a package of Paperclay on your next craft store or Amazon shopping excursion!<br />"Swamped" is such an excellent adjective for the girls' quick cover ups! I find most Heidi Ott doll clothing to be ill fitted. The new dresses from Spain arrived and they look almost tailored! I can't wait to share them! The girls want them now in every fabric and color, lol!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-15183473007007196232023-03-19T19:25:37.516-07:002023-03-19T19:25:37.516-07:00It seems the directions can't keep up with you...It seems the directions can't keep up with your creative ideas!

I am in love with the colors too.... purple is a favorite of mine.... and goes so well with the green accents in the glass! I am glad you gave us the "diagram" of the wall positions too... it helps to know which part will go where! I am really enjoying seeing the interior and exterior walls being built "flat" before they are assembled. I always have a hard time working that way... I sort of need to be able to be "inside" the room to know what will work where. This is such a wonderful Victorian House kit.... I am looking forward to seeing your results "come together"! I have never used paperclay... but have always wanted to give it a try. <br />As for Goldie's and Alice's new "cover-ups"... they look very cute but a bit swamped! I hope the new clothes will be a great fit when they arrive! As always, I can't wait to see more of your Jodi Magic!!! :)Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-23481523221019962102023-03-19T07:23:44.844-07:002023-03-19T07:23:44.844-07:00¡Gracias Mariana!

It must be the late hours he keeps and that he raids the pantry right before he turns in. I'll try to take photos later in the day next time so he'll participate. 😜<br /><br />I'd love Goldie to take over all meal making duties for the entire house, as I'd definitely rather be making minis! She doesn't seem interested in my kitchen or anything other than porridge, so far! 😥<br /><br />I am so glad you liked the diagram of walls - working in such a disjointed way can be confusing for readers trying to put all the pieces together! I hope soon to have all that math behind me and walls erected. Until then, my immortal soul is in peril due to the colorful language I may resort to! 😊 Big squishy hugs! 🥰Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-91830159386751432922023-03-18T07:12:19.717-07:002023-03-18T07:12:19.717-07:00Thanks Ann!
