It was a snowy day in Maine, so what better way to enjoy it but to work on my dollhouse. While twelve inches of snow fell outside, I re-made the tile stove. This time I used foam core and put the warming oven drawers on the bottom of the stove, not on top! Love those gold painted lentils. The ash drawer goes in the center, but the paint is still wet.
I used a new tile for this stove, too. I like this pattern better. I like the blue enamel look and the black stove top. The all black stove seemed a bit too dark in the dollhouse and I wondered if anything would show up on it. I think this is brighter and more cheerful. Maybe I should have painted it green to go with the Christmas theme, but sometimes the red and green is a bit too much.
The oil paint touch-up on the desk came out well. I'm pleased with how it turned out. I was going to attach the handles and hinge for the desk lid, but will need DH's help with the drill.
Santa has some cards and letters from children around the world. They know Santa loves horses. Isn't it nice to see that Santa is no better organized than the rest of us?
