Yeah, the weekend!! Yesterday was an off Friday and for the first time in ages I didn’t have to be somewhere, I didn’t have a kid home sick, I didn’t have an appointment, or company to entertain.
So I slept in, did mega spring cleaning (I know, it is winter) of the family room and then Gene and I went off to see Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Wow, it was 3 hours and 27 minutes long, but wow, it was GOOD. I think it was the best of the three movies and I know the series will go down as a classic in movie history. They did everything right to bring the books to the big screen.
Today Gene is off to work and I am working on more cleaning. I really need to get the laundry room/craft room picked up so I have a place to work on miniatures again. Over Christmas, all the kid’s projects were piled on my work table and now it is buried. *sniff* But I shall have it back!!!
On February 1st, I will be taking a class in quarter scale, taught by Debbie Young. That is where the scale of 1/4″ is equal to one foot. We are supposed to be making a little cafe. I have not seen what it will look like, but I love all the other settings this artist has designed in the past, so I am sure it will be great. She did plans for a really lovely house in the December issue of a dollhouse magazine. It had a Christmas theme and was called the Sugarplum House.
There is also a miniature show next weekend, but I don’t know if I will go. It is in downtown San Diego and features a lot more of the 1/4 scale, which I like. It would likely mean taking the kids too, which I am not sure I am up to. They don’t obey enough when I say don’t touch and broken miniatures can be expensive to apologize for and buy!
Well, back to cleaning, the living room is calling my name. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I feel like no matter how much I clean, it doesn’t help. Between the busy kitties and Lizard it is messy all over again.
My cleaning lady does the surfaces of stuff, but there is so much realing cleaning that needs to be done here. I don’t know just when or how, but I need to get started when I am a little stronger.
I am glad you are getting to take another miniature class. You are so skilled with the miniatures, and I know this will give you additional skills as well as an enjoyable day.
Love, Mom
I’ve heard that the extended version of LOTR:ROTK will be an hour longer than the theater version in order to include the scouring of the Shire and all the stuff with Saruman that was left out. That sounds like a super bladder buster. I’m looking forward to its release.

I’m waiting for LOTR III to come out on DVD. Long wait, I know. ::sigh:: Oh well.
Have a great weekend!
Yeah, ROTK was just great! Long but great!

I’m so jealous that you’re working on dollhouse stuff. But I think I’ve acknowledged that summer time will be the only time I ever have for that. I got back into the hobby really good during August…but three weeks later had to go back to teaching
I hope you post pictures of your project if you can!
ROTK rocked my socks!
What a great day off! Enjoy the class, sounds like it’ll be a lot of fun for you!
