More MJ Visit Pictures


After getting Keva asleep, MJ spent a few quiet hours with Keva's mom, Nyla, dad (yet unnamed)  and her grandfather who lives with them. As you can see, dad is getting a little bored with all of the girl talk and is nodding off. Grandpa just seems to be very thoughtful about the topic.

It was just like in real-life. Having company, MJ, made me see even more clearly all that needs to be done around the houses and other areas. I am vowing to get on these repairs and remodel projects promptly and on a regular basis. Window frames, wall decorations, painting and window dressing are on the top of my list. Keva's bedroom still has updates which are ready to be added. Currently, I am working on three stores in the mall also. They make good locations for the stories.

I have Pretty Pleaters for making draperies, so I will continue to practice using them so I can hang some in the living room below after I frame the windows. The tabletop is actually for a ceiling medallion. I plan to replace it with a glass or mirror on the table.

Jenna's room is actually the attic of this house. 
 
Since her television still has not been replaced on the wall, Keva is excited that MJ volunteered to read her a story.


I wish I could get the true colors of this room. Believe me it looks much better up close.
 The paint isn't even pink. It has a bit of lavender mixed in.

  1. It looks as if MJ really enjoying herselves. It is a nice and warm color, I can clearly see the lavender color in the wall.
    I am totally in love with your white house, it is so cozy with the porch in front of the house. Very atmospheric house.

      Thanks. I designed the room thinking of where I would like to hang out. I will refine it better. On the left is a laundry room!

  18. I love Jenna's room. I like the way you are setting up temporary spaces in the homes. That's a great idea. Your community is coming along quite nicely.

    1. Hi Vanessa,
      Thank you! I am glad you like Jenna's room! Setting up the rooms is kind of by accident. I don't like to stick to just one house or project so they end up becoming "spaces" lol

It is fun hearing from all of you!
