mini-renovations: ready for christmas


i wanted to post this *before* christmas, but in all honesty, the ...ahem... fresh-fallen snow on the roof-line just ...well... fell. Wink

so here we are - a little fun in time for christmas. everything is handmade, but the fencing and the kitten. the garland is made from green tinsel pipe-cleaners. the snow in the yard and on the fence-line is glittery white felt. the pink retro wreaths are pink pipe-cleaners, decorated with pearly beads and silver cord (they don't exactly "go", but they'll be replaced before next year anyway). i wish i'd put the christmas tree in the window, but i didn't get that far.

compared to the last album, we've come a long way (baby). new coat of paint, finished the trim. i have a few flaws to cover, and i think i'm going to add some more trim above the doorway/front windows. and figure out what to do about a front door, since none of the manufactured doors will fit the doorway (beaded curtains perhaps?)

oh, and to put it into perspective - the wreaths are about the size of a quarter.
