lights!

[nid_dabeille]

It's 1:15am, but at last, my main roombox is WIRED.  For electricity.  At last!  This means I can finally finish things - there's a light at the end of the tunnel, and it's an electric colonial swag lantern.

You have no idea how long I've been waiting, how many things I've been putting on hold and couldn't do until it was wired.  Well, the miniaturists on my list know.

Bedtime.  In my tiny tiny hammock (I wish.)

Congratulations!!! Are there going to be pictures??

[grace-poppy.livejournal.com]

Sure, but I meant only that it's WIRED. It's not lit yet. There aren't any lights installed. But there's electricity. Pretty pictures will come later.

Pictures please!!! :)

OT - Just a question; if Stephen were to give you a present, anything at all (of the physical, able to put in a box and wrap kind), what would you ask for?

[grace-poppy.livejournal.com]

Yes yes. But there aren't actually lights installed yet, there's just electrical connections.

Um, gift from Stephen... That's so difficult! He would probably give such a unique present, and it would be special because it came from him and because he'd put thought into it, even if it wouldn't have been something I thought I needed myself. Like giving Jack a brown knitted garment, or giving bees as a wedding present. Though he does buy velvet and taffeta and silver bracelets at various times, and that's quite touching. But I love his more unusual gifts like the bees. Things that he thinks "Well I know I would love to receive this gift, so that's what I'll give my dear friend."

Sorry, vague answer. Of course, he could always just give me a snake or lizard, or even a very nice insect. Or sausage. Or poisonous-looking mushrooms.

Congrats! Hope you have some well deserved rest now! :)
And I third the plea for pictures.

[grace-poppy.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Pictures will come soon.

Huzzah for electricity! That's very exciting. Soon, there will be light! :D

[grace-poppy.livejournal.com]

Yes! Though I only get a couple of hours each day to work on it, if even that much, and I have other competing crafts and hobbies... so I feel like I'm the SLOWEST miniaturist around. :D

[obeliamedusa.livejournal.com]

lol! You're a lot faster than me, anyway. I work on my dollhouse like once every three months!

[grace-poppy.livejournal.com]

Oh really? Well good, that's a relief! I guess by reading blogs, I lose sense of other people's time. It's like they post a blog one day, "I'm starting a quilt!" and then it seems like the very next day "I'm finished! Isn't it pretty???" and I'm just blown away.

[obeliamedusa.livejournal.com]

Yup, it can definitely seem that way.

[rosamundeb.livejournal.com]

Wow, you're actually wiring it? cool!

[grace-poppy.livejournal.com]

Yeah! :D

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Hee. I sometimes see dollhouse wiring mentioned in books or related stuff sold in the crafts store and my mind pretty much shuts down when I contemplate how it's done. It's like I can't wrap my head around the idea of doing something so complex and tiny.

Fortunately there are people who can do it just fine :-)

[grace-poppy.livejournal.com]

It's not very hard, really. It sounds like a more complicated thing than it really is.
