Second Step and a Bit of a Tumble

I was feeling pleased with myself until today when I started tweaking of few things on my blog and managed to destroy the second post, so I am not feeling quite so pleased with myself as I am slowly learning my way around Blogger and adding bits and pieces. Unfortunately this does mean that the mini projects are neglected. Rather ironic that the thing I have started as an incentive is actually eating up the time I would be spending doing work on the actual project. However I did go out today and purchase the tags I plan to use as slate tiles when I redo the roof. I took my inspiration from a house built by HD (Husband Dearest).

It has been created by pasting on hundreds of those tiny cardboard tags used to attach price labels on items in shops. So this morning I set out to OfficeWorks for supplies. Luckily I found a wide selection available and came home with 2 cartons. Mine are smaller than those HD used so it will take a lot more pasting on my part. I have a total of 2000 so I hope that is enough. I am planning on asking his help when it comes to the painting as I think that is the tricky bit. Time will tell.

Here's a shot of the supplies I got there. I got myself a new craft knife and a hot glue gun to use when I have to repair all the stair case which is falling apart. So soon it will all begin in earnest. I plan on starting with the roof and then doing the rooms for which I already have furnishings and rugs ready to put in. I must say I am not really looking forward to the papering but I must just grit my teeth and just get on with it.




Don't think for one moment that I will not come back and tweak some more. I'm not cured yet and hopefully I won't destroy the entire thing. If I do I shall just start all over again. It's all a perverse kind of fun. I have just carried out a little repair job by cutting and pasting some HTML which may or may not work. Wish I hadn't discarded that book HTML for Dummies.
