Ooooh, very nice! I love the changes.
In response to: Making a custom door, part 1
I LOVE the clever ideas you come up with! What will you do with the exposed sides of the door? Do you cover it up with something? Can’t wait to see this completed. You are so talented!

Perhaps he’s a throwback to the original horse of a different colour? I love this piece and can’t wait to see where you use it.
In response to: Contacts and a dye job
What a difference! If it was made 35 years ago, then you’ve modernised it just with this one change. Love this pattern!
In response to: Contacts and a dye job
A definite improvement.
In response to: Contacts and a dye job
Much better. That was a lot of work but well worth the result 
In response to: Making a custom door, part 1
Thanks, everyone! 
I see we have guesses for retro, modern, retro-futuristic and pizza joint. 
In response to: Making a custom door, part 1
I am in awe at your prowess with the power tools - I haven’t yet progressed past sharp scissors.
The circle design on the door reminds me of the old tavern off campus we used to frequent when we were poor students (draft beer and cheap pizza). Mind you, there were actually two entrances, one for single men and one for “ladies and escorts".

Looks like a Jetsons kind of door so far. I like :-)

I made a sandwich door a couple of weeks ago, only with popsicle stick pieces for the top and bottom layers. It works great! I am intrigued by your circle windows…are you going retro or modern for the contest? Hmmmm…..
In response to: Making a custom door, part 1
Wow big tools for such a little door 
I see a theme here on this door methinks..
In response to: Making a custom door, part 1
Thanks for the handy tutorial – (furiously taking notes). That makes alot of sense in terms of the approach you did. Can’t wait to see the finished door!
In response to: Making a custom door, part 1
Cool door, love the circles! Clever using the pre-made door frame!
In response to: Making a custom door, part 1
You are getting extremely clever with the use of tools. I am too scared to use some of mine.
In response to: Making a custom door, part 1
That is a very stylish door =0)
In response to: Making a custom door, part 1
Wow! Clever and it will make a really pretty door!
In response to: I'm just fooling myself
It does look real =0D
In response to: I'm just fooling myself
That’s awesome indeed!
What a clean garage you keep, by the way.
In response to: Griffin box
Thank you so much!
I’m not sure the vendor has an online presence. If they do, and I get their card or their receipt as the info, I try to include it. 
In response to: I'm just fooling myself
LOL! You fooled me too!
In response to: I'm just fooling myself
LOL…down to the recycling bin!
In response to: I'm just fooling myself
Wow wow wow. That looks so real!
In response to: Griffin box
I think that your griffin box is not only a great pattern Brae, but I love the color combination that you have chosen, and from the last photo, it looks just like silver metal filigree encasing the red. Beautifully done!
In response to: Griffin box
What lovely detail in such a tiny box and you have painted it beautifully.
In response to: Griffin box
Oh that’s absolutely beautiful!
I want one now–thank you *off to look online*
In response to: Griffin box
This box really looks great. Thanks for charing
Best wishes

In response to: Griffin box
Oh thats a wonderful piece the detail is stunning!
In response to: Griffin box
What a delicate looking piece. It’s so beautiful! Can we buy this online?
In response to: Scratch built sofa
I see that this was done some time ago, and that you last received comments in December 2014. Well, rest assured that in 2015 you are still going strong. This is one of the best projects I have come across - a fantastic idea and fabulous execution. Thank you so much - I am making a dolls house for my granddaughter - the idea to spend as little money as possible - none, really - for the biggest value.
In response to: Griffin box
Love! The red definitely makes the silver pop!
In response to: Griffin box
What a lovely box - it made up beautifully.
In response to: Griffin box
Just lovely!
I would use this as a jewelry box.
In response to: Happy Halloween!
Your haunted house is amazing! I love it. Someone posted it on pinterest and I had to take a look. What a fantastic job you did.
In response to: Dremel circle cutter and edge guides
I love the circle cutter, I may have to check into that. Your RL cabinet is so cool and Jasper looks great in it!
In response to: Dremel circle cutter and edge guides
Hi Brae,
Thanks for the picture of the Dremel Circle cutter. My wife bought me one for Christmas, and I have been afraid to try it out! But your picture made it clear how the thing is supposed to work! Halfway there, I can finally see myself trying.
Your Creatin’ Contest start looks very cool! Can’t wait to see what it becomes!
In response to: Dremel circle cutter and edge guides
Yipppeee! She’s back! So glad to see a new post. Can’t wait to see what you’re up too…
Love your kitty. Hope you are feeling better.
In response to: Dremel circle cutter and edge guides
LOL - Jane - the same happened to me

Something that just is what it look like is rare in miniature blogs.
And I’m also happy, that Jasper is “real". He looks so cute!
Oh Brae, I’m curious what you have in your mind for this front(?). It looks very attractive.
Best wishes
Andrea

Is it terrible that I saw the ear plugs and just started to wonder what they might become or could be made into? I know sometimes a earplug is just a earplug…But that box they came in….
working hard on your contest house eh?
In response to: Dremel circle cutter and edge guides
Jasper is the sweetest looking cat…but that cabinet, that’s pretty sweet too!
You’ve got the jump on me, cutting into the kit first. I’ve got wiring supplies on order, I need to get the wiring figured out first because it’s going to determine how thick certain pieces of wood need to be.
In response to: Dremel circle cutter and edge guides
I would like a mini version of the cabinet with the multi-coloured drawers. (Maybe a mini version of that very cute cat too.)
In response to: Dremel circle cutter and edge guides
I wear those ear plugs at night (Husband snores like a bear) and they are excellent. I talked the joiners into getting a dremmel trio after one of your posts. I’ll have to have a go with the attachments. It looks far easier than using a jigsaw =0) Contest build is looking very interesting =0)
In response to: Dremel circle cutter and edge guides
Oh Jasper! That’s an adorable photo!
Love the demo on the Dremel tools – helps demystify what the attachments do for some of us still considering the tools.
In response to: Dremel circle cutter and edge guides
Awesome! Love the circular cutting ability. Cute kitty too

Hi Brae! I think that this stylized Horse tapestry is looking Lovely! I really like the colors you’ve chosen for it and the pattern that you have developed. The horses appear both noble and graceful.
And your cat looks comfortable.
In response to: The Nine Horses - 16.25 hours
Jasper looks comfy
I agree about the burgundy accents.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with for the contest…but there’s almost a year until I find out…aghh!
In response to: Copper claw foot tub
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have one, well two (in case I mess up) and wanted to paint the inside and out. I saw this in your mini home and fell in love. I do think it is one of the best claw foot tubs for the price and now I’ve just learned how to make it fabulous! (cheesy, I know)
Thank you for sharing.

In response to: Photos in a sleeve
What an awesome idea! I will try this at home because my dollhouse dolls enjoy photography and scrapbooking. So coo!
In response to: The Nine Horses - 16.25 hours
Your tapestry looks great! Looking forward to your HBS CC. I’m now on my second cold. I lost 3 weeks in January, was better for a week and caught another one. Ugh I hate coughing. I need a cushioned seat like Jasper’s for a good cat nap!
