Not for those with Spheksophobia!/ Shopping For Snacks

As Presto suggested Harlan (her new name) went shopping to put more goodies in the break room vending machine.

The gentleman at the door is handing out samples of his great new cake balls.

Took a break in the break room!

HI EVERYBODY!

I had a strange incident a few months ago. I will only say I have to be careful who knows about this blog. I had a weirdo who was following me from blog to blog. I was shocked and felt uneasy because I had no idea he was doing that. I live in a very small town and I guess word has traveled about my blog.

He was a Sears repairman who asked about a post about me on another site. "So, you travel a lot?" was the comment. I had just mentioned that in the other blog. There was no other way he could have known that. I don't like the idea of a stranger knowing I am may not be at home.

At any rate I can't allow that to deter me from what I enjoy. All of you, your blogs and my own blog. I will just have to be more careful about certain things.

So, I AM BACK!


I thought this was so cute! There is one with a tiny car I will share next
Don't forget to tap on the full screen to see it better

 

I have gotten back to my office complex among other things while I was on break

This is the beginning of the break room

 

 

 

I bought the sandwiches online from China. The machine is a pill container I painted black. If I find something else I like better  I may change it. Also need a soda machine

 

This is the whole office comlex. Lots of work to be done here! There is an event planner office, and a few others I am still working out in my mind.

You can see the break room on top of the second tower from the left.

This is the start of the lobby. The elevator door is only propped against the back wall. The green part on the floor is just a mat and will be removed when the carpet is in place.

The wall paper is real life wall trim cut to size

I AM STILL HERE...BE BACK SOON!

 

Miss you all!

Hello every one,

I am checking out how to change my blog. Something creepy happened from a stranger follower. I want to either make it private or shut it down.

Any suggestions?

Red HOT Seating!

Hi all! 

 

I had to take a break from repairing the state fair entries. Don't worry.  I will be back working on them again soon!  I did what I sometimes do. See little things I had been meaning to change, fix or add to and then do it. It gives me a quick sense of accomplishment and of course progress on my many on going projects.

 

There is one house you have seen before. It was Niecy and Trey's house. I didn't really like the pink flowers in the living room set since it was not just a lady's house and kind of outdated. It seemed that everything they picked to be in their living room has some red in it.  They needed something more modern and youthful.

 

I had seen it done before so I tried painting the set. I love the way it came out! My only complaint is that in some places you can see where the glue seeped through the ribbon. I managed to clean most of it off. I still may either replace it with anther piece or just change to another ribbon.

 

Funny, I don't have one red thing in my 1:1 house but I have red rooms in two of my mini houses with that color scheme!

  

 

This is the original pattern also known as "before"





   Here the pieces are freshly painted. I was afraid they would stay shiny. It dried with a more realistic mat finish.

A comparison after the painting the loveseat and chair

Here is the sofa. I did mange to get a little more glue off of it after this photo. That is a Gamecocks pillow (South Carolina University) I have several I made some time ago and will add them to the other pieces.
