So my big news of the day is that the postman attempted to deliver my Brownie today, but sadly nobody was home and I was asleep at the time so my package was taken back to the post office. 🙁 Since my car’s battery is currently dead and charging, I begged my brother to take me to the post office in the late afternoon to see if I could pick it up yet, but sadly our mail carrier was still out on their route and so I couldn’t even pick up my little Brownie. It’s really very frustrating to know that the object you want is so darned close, but you can’t get it yet. XP
I’ve also been feeling a little lackluster today. My stomach is a little crampy, and I’m so very tired since I didn’t sleep well last night. So the progress on my dollhouse was slow. I did get most of the window frames painted though and I’ve begun assembling my first window. I ran into a few “technical difficulties” while planning my casement windows, mainly because of the design of the original window boxes on this thing which disallowed my casements to swing out. Of course I want to keep as much of the original as possible because my grandfather made it, so I had to figure out a way around that and some other problem areas. I think I’m on the right track now, but I can foresee a long slow process ahead of me since I decided to make nearly all of my windows casement windows. I know it will all be worth it in the end, but right now I have those “ugh” feelings about the whole thing. I just hope I don’t run into too many problems with the window sashing next since I’m having to use some very thin pieces of wood on it.
So, I guess my goals for tomorrow will be to complete at least one of my windows, paint the attic white, and since it should be simple, go ahead and get the attic window attached which will be non casement. Well that, and get my doll of course! Going to get to bed earlier tonight so I am sure to be up in time to get her, but I’ve also told my family to keep an eye out too. Hopefully we’ve got this covered!
