It's been a long time! I have had a ton of distractions that have
prevented me from blogging, but mostly all productive. I have missed
communicating with my readers and the larger "mini" community, but
the time provided me with some clarity about my collection and its organization
-- it's difficult to create scenes and work with your houses when things are in
complete disarray.
One huge obstacle was flooding in our basement, which is where my
collection lives. Our hot water heater decided to break and we had a real mess
on our hands. Luckily, very little of my collection was affected, but it did
impact the entire basement space. So, we've been spending the past few months
on cleaning, mold remediation, painting, and reorganizing. This work forced me
to *really* look at my collection and how I was maintaining the houses and accessories.
The results are really nice so far...I'll have more to share once we complete the last room, but here are a few snaps:

| New Worktable! |
This process has provided a nice opportunity to reconnect with my collection, too.
While my work continues, I managed to set up a quick scene in the Loft to Love house from Target.
See those stairs? I made some carpeting from remnants of FLOR tiles that my husband used in his home office. They work pretty well!
Hopefully, more soon!
