Well no not really I already put all the decorations away
and the house is back to normal. Er well as normal as the mini addict can
be. I just had that song stuck in my head for the last 6 hours. I wanted to show you a couple of
things I just finished. I decided I didn’t like the half round table in the entry/hall
of my witch’s house so since I have a (cough) few kits setting around I made a
buffet table and another writing table. These kits go together fairly well as
long as you follow the directions and use the right glue. Now some of you may or may not know glue and I
are not always the best of friends. Case in point with the buffet table, I
could not find the bottle of wood glue. I think it ran away but that’s my
theory. So I tried tacky glue and was going well until after I painted the first
coat of paint and then starting sanding. One of the legs fell off and then
another. Then after I’m sure the wood
glue had decided I had been tortured enough the bottle suddenly showed up and I
could glue the legs back on. The writing
desk I swear went better and the wood glue stayed on the craft table long
enough for me to finish it. I used black and brown paint then sanded between
each layer. I’m curious though… What do you think, do you prefer these two that
look more like natural stained wood or the other one I made in the last post
that was white and green? I like both
but I think it depends on the setting/room they would go in. Ok I’m off to go
lock down the glue bottles.

Really fun post! Looks like you're getting super productive, putting together kits and finishing them entirely. I'm quite impressed. I seem to never get that far. Good--you're motivating and inspiring me, Jennybee! :-) xo Jennifer
I also really good like this look. The furniture appear as very heavy, quality furniture. They look very expensive. Very well done.

Thank you ladies for the kind words, I really do enjoy making these kits.
That's set looks great hon! I love the colors you chose for them they really do look like solid like Wyrna said.
Glad to see your mini drive back ;P
The two tables look fantastic. The finished color looks the same to me.
