More Pickett Hill furniture kits

Pickett Hill won out

I couldn't resist it, could I? I am after all, a miniature tragic! When we came home on Monday I had several packages waiting for me: one from Petite Properties with some furniture kits and a free-standing garage; one from MJ Miniatures with some super little kits that had been on sale (that site is well worth looking at); two for cardmaking/scrapbooking - some dies and some stamps; and one from the Betterleys with some kits for Pickett Hill - yaaaaaay! There was no time to do anything other than open the packages on Monday; I had a lot of paperwork to print out for the Church Business Meeting in just 2 1/2 hours time, and an Agenda to type out for it as well; dinner and a shower and change of clothes were equally needed. So I quickly opened and admired, then set the boxes aside.

Yesterday (Tuesday) we were very tired after a huge day, despite sleeping in. But we had a

caravan to unpack and a mountain of washing to tackle before my back appointment in the afternoon. Last night I just couldn't wait any more, and assembled the bathroom kit. Here it is, still unpainted.

And the lamp table with the side chair that goes with the ladies' desk, along with a couple of frames that were provided, along with some prints to frame.

And now the bedroom furniture. Obviously the wardrobe isn't fully assembled and won't be until I have finished painting it inside and papering it.

Now I have most of the major furniture in the house. I need the loveseat for the lawn, bedside table (or maybe two of them), the clock, and a couple of bits and pieces I think. The next big expenditure will probably be the landscaping kit. I bought the basic one before, because the full one was sold out. The basic one included the turntable, fencing and the arbor, but the full one includes all the landscaping as well. I'd like to use the basic one for the John F Craig house and have the landscaping to put around Pickett Hill.

Tomorrow night I hope I get the chance to finish assembling the furniture and start painting it. With this wet weather it might take a while to dry, though it's not that cool even if it does feel it, being wet for so long. But I can already see it will be beautiful when it is completed.
