I am a bit of a creative soul. And being so, I have many hobbies that I like to dabble in. One of them being miniatures. But I haven’t worked on any of my miniature projects in years. They have been all tucked away in boxes spread all over my house, and shamelessly, not one of them completed!

My husband mentioned to me the other day that I should work on my dollhouse again. He’s been trying to encourage me to get back into my hobbies after my long hiatus due to educational, work and family demands.

Tonight I finally started (again) to work on my dollhouse Beacon Hill. The part I struggle with is the desire to get it done and do it quickly. But I really want my house to look nice so I have to hold back and take my time.

After I finally found my instruction sheets, which I had misplaced, oops, I began. Didn’t get too much accomplished. I simply primed the inside of bay window pieces. Tomorrow and the next day I will put on a coat of paint. And then I will finally glue them into place with white glue, tape the pieces into place and wait until the next day to move to the next step. I have to admit though there is a small part of me that simply wants to hot glue those silly pieces into place and jump to the next part. But I’m determined to do this right and take it slow. I know the end result with be worth it. I just pray for the patience to get there.
