Strangely, I found out when I was in India that I could micro-stitch in a car!!! Weird right? I am beginning to wonder if t is just in my head? <br /><br />Thank you for your sweet compliments, my dear :) . It's been such a long long day and another one tomorrow and it is so nice to read your comments after a very hectic day :):). It's like having a favourite piece of peanut butter mini cup before bedtime !

You don't know how much they mean to me!<br /><br />And dearie, I can appreciate perfection too! It may not be my style due to my own inadequacies but I will certainly bow down to the masters. Remember my penchant for Japanese craftsmanship especially in the making of their baskets?

I too have been really busy...and ohh! how I have ate too much during lunch today! I am no longer used to heavy meals :). <br /><br />Anyhoooo, about the glue for water. I won't recommend it anymore. I re-did the pail because I dug out the glue and replaced it with water made with liquid gloss and resin. This is the link of the material I used for water : http://shop.metalclay.com.au/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=951Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-30602103392551993642011-04-21T15:48:52.620+08:002011-04-21T15:48:52.620+08:00Mari, I love visiting your blog too.

After this post, I redid, re-painted/ re-rusted the pail. I also washed out the varnish on the cloth and re-style it just with water. Perfect! Looks really natural and the cloth stays in place. I will take a picture again in a subsequent post when I provide an update of my progress on the tribal house :).

I don't know if you know this house well but the truth is I can't stand it as is. You think I can bash it into a palace of the winds? See my next post) LOL!

I must admit that I thought of you as I was grabbing that New Lovely Old Dollhouse.... because I know how much you like my Old one.... and I was thinking how much I wished I could "share" it with you.... (and maybe feeling a tiny bit guilty that I now have TWO while you have none!)But even over here, this style is not that common, so I DO feel very lucky.... and I love that the houses are so similar, but NOT the same.... just like real old houses around here... each is unique. It will probably be a while before I decide just what sort of decor it needs.... we shall see...!<br />As for being a Muse.... We can "A Muse" each other :) because You already are an inspiration to ME :)Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-79230602780411639202011-04-21T03:35:49.397+08:002011-04-21T03:35:49.397+08:00You always have a surprise for me, Sans.

I have been trying to find the word the whole time when I was enjoying his work and it just didn't come to me until I read your comment!<br /><br />I know exactly what you mean when you say it cannot be real . Looks like something out of a fashion ad, right? But as I was trying to explain to Ewa, in some strange way, India and it's people are very photogenic and there are picture perfect moments everywhere even when you may be photographing a filthy corner of a dead end street where a cow is chewing on some rubbish heap. :)Or maybe it's because I am just in love with India :).Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-37120411029338386692011-04-20T15:07:15.172+08:002011-04-20T15:07:15.172+08:00Sans! :) I love you.

Im having computer issues on mine and have not been able to make a post this week. :(<br /><br />If we are the bright and shiny trio, you are the gold mine at the top of the mountain. You make the most glorious posts with all of your photos and education and all of the time that you spend researching... and, I'm sorry, dear, but, I know you. You are a perfectionist. You want everything just so and just right. We are all the same. :)<br /><br />Just look at the time you have spent with water on this post and on the other. Trying to make it just so. And, you don't stop until it is just so. :)<br /><br />I think of you and the other girls all the time, all my blog girls, my fb girls, I'm constantly thinking, how are they, are they okay, are they overcoming what ever obsticale that is in their midst. I wake up thinking about all of you all of the time, you are all on my mind, ever present.<br /><br />I'm so glad you enjoy the mnis. We were just discussing this tonight, lol :)<br /><br />I owe you an email to tell you what is going on, just life, not to worry. :)<br /><br />I think of you so much, all the time, maybe it's weird, but, you have had a profound touch on my life and, I'm eternally grateful.<br /><br />:)dalesdreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304656921813405064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-67523560274304605472011-04-20T14:57:22.934+08:002011-04-20T14:57:22.934+08:00Ascensión, muchas gracias, mi amigo! :):):) Un día...Ascensión, muchas gracias, mi amigo! :):):) Un día, voy a tratar de responder a su comentario, sin la ayuda de un traductor.

You are the bright shiny trio! :). Seriously, I bow to your skills because in seeking perfection, you guys really work way harder than I will ever do. Much easier to destroy than to achieve perfection.<br /><br />I hope you will have a more relaxing week . Was just thinking of you for some strange reasons. Ok, maybe not so strange since I am now officially addicted to Reese's peanut butter mini cups. They have Hershey's shops here now and I am buying these mini cups after work today :).
