Thanks Carmen!
The Chess-taurant has been demolished!
I follow several really professional level miniaturists. When I see them take things apart for improvements or upgrades, I am inspired to do the same. That is where the unintentional demolition happened.
At first my printer would not print properly so I could complete the window outdoor scene. Also, It bothered me that with the picture on the inside what should I do on the outside to show there was a window there. So, I took that to mean maybe I should go with my heart and actually cut out a window. I held my breath, went to the Woodworkers Guild work room and cut out the window. The supervisor there helped me practice cutting straight lines with the scroll saw. Well, that is where it got nasty. lol I ended up making a few gouges when I finally tried it on the wall .
Trying to be true to my determination to be like my professional friends I knew I had to cut out a whole new wall. I could have just made a big picture window by cutting out the two sections, but for some reason I didn't think it would be as cozy as having three panes.

| The wall on the left if the second one. You can see the gouges on the first one on the right. I have to do a little more sanding and open another jar of paint so all the walls would be the same color. |
I re-cut the window wall...still not to my total satisfaction, but something I could live with. When I dry fit it in place a little sunlight shone through and I knew I had done the right thing. :-) So, now it will just take a few more hours of work and the Chess-taurant will be truly complete. So look forward to seeing the new look soon!
OK, WHAT IS THIS?
Sometimes when I keep walking past something it will call out to me. Just like this one did LOL!
Can you guess what new project I have added to all of my other projects? The next four pictures are clues. What do you think it will be when completed?

| One day, maybe last year, I bought a large container of popsicle sticks. I decided to try using them for this project. |
 |
| Part of the fun was reading the jokes on the backs of some of them! |
 |
I used some parchment paper to keep it from sticking to the surface while I glued them together. Yep that is the price...thrift shop of course!

Thinking I should make this a contest...look for details later. :-)
THE FUNK
Simply...to the fellow miniaturist who is saying those salacious (
really bad for my foreign friends) things about The Grandmommy and discouraging people from my blog that is really mean and I would never do that to you. Like I tell my grands...Be kind !
I ask my fellow bloggers what would YOU say or do to someone who was doing that concerning you and your blog...
For my MANY miniature friends...thanks for being just that! HUGS!
