Working on the remodeling again

I am working on the remodeling again, I am finishing up the dining room. I had the drywall in place, all taped and ready to finish. I decided to just texture and paint it. Too much sanding for smooth walls. In the meantime, I got a corner booth with a smaller table. I found a buyer for my big square oak table. It had enough leaves to seat twenty. I really don't need that much company. I found this really tall oak staircase to display my dolls, and that gave me the push to get busy. I plan on putting a shelf up high on the wall with the staircase leading up to it. It is amazing what ideas you can get and then reject when there is no time limit on projects. I am not showing any pictures of the work in progress. It will show what a mess a lady on a mission can acomplish. Since I am doing most of the work myself, I just moved everything to the center of the room and am working around it. Somewhere in one of those boxes is my camera . It was on the table. Oh well I will hopefully get finished in a few days.

Senior Center Dolls

Last Monday when I walked into the Senior Center, They told me they had raffled off my dolls. Since they had an Ice Cream Social as a fund raiser the day I brought them in, the director raffled them off. They were there only three hours and they managed to make a little over hundred dollars with them.
Darla the director said they were very well received.
I have been working on finishing the back bedroom so that I can play in my studio without feeling guilty. This was because I decided to find the turkey roaster and holiday stuff that was stored in there someplace.
It has only taken me five years to decide what to do with the extra bedroom other than storage. Now everything has been moved into studio so I cannot play until the work is done. It is amazing how temporary storage can get to turn into a warehouse for all kinds of stuff. The hard part is deciding what to keep and where to get rid of the rest. What was I thinking??
I am still trying to find my camera so that I can take pictures. I have been looking at new ones, but cannot make up my mind. I sure can give lessons on procrastination. Anybody??
