...done...

I've been MIA the past 2 weeks.

This is why.........









Yep, that's my model!! And it's DONE!!!! The best part? It's not due until Wednesday...This is the first time I've had more than 48 hours to spare before something was due. I'm loving life right now!!!

So, that's my building..it's a firehouse, built in 1910. I didn't have any scaled plans...just a couple of pictures and an old set of unscaled drawings. I had to load them into CAD, the drafting program, and draft away!! Luckily, CAD and I are good friends and I was able to produce the plans..there was a lot of guesstimating though. I had taken a lot of pictures on my field visit, so I could count bricks, rafters, etc.. Anyways, plans turned into a model and there it is..a TON of cardboard, glue, and pins later.....

I also got my headboard put up....buuuut I don't feel like making my bed OR taking pictures so you'll just have to wait.

I'm babysitting for the next 3 days, staying at the house with the girls..4, 7, and 10...getting them up for school, packing lunches, making sure they get on the bus....I will have stories. The 4 year old is the boss of the house. I nannied for them for 2 summers and absolutely love the family...but the little one was much younger and was a pretty big sweetheart. I guess it's not the case anymore. The oldest did say that she loves when I come to babysit for them because the little one doesn't rule the roost. We'll see if that's still the case!!!
