Infectious!

[susandennis]

This tiny shit building stuff is infectious. I pick up one thing to glue so I can do other stuff while that one thing dries and then next thing I know, it's 2 hours later and a whole pile o' shit is now glued and drying.

And my fingers are a mess. I was using some cheap white glue which glued fine but smelled. After a while I couldn't stand the stink of it so I switched to a kind of latex fabric glue which works fine. No smell but gets all over me and, unlike white glue, does not come off really easily.

I think, if/when I do another one of these, it will be after some glue shopping. I'll be both sniffing and looking at dispenser options. The latex comes with a nice fine, nozzle which is handy but not perfect...

I'm working towards a natural stopping place sometime on Monday so I can put it all away and clear off the table for my brother's visit. I think I'll pretty much have all the furnishings and accoutrements done and be down to the walls, floor, window, lighting...

The laundry is done and folded and put away. At least I do not feel like I have wasted my no swim morning.

I've also paired down my LJ list and organized it into two groups. I'm not big on seeing the same memes/questions/answers over and over again so I put the people who mainly use their journals for quizzes and memes and lists and lengthy photo essays into one group and left those write about their day to day lives and thoughts in the default. I can easily monitor each feed and am more likely now to read everyone's entries more closely now that they are separated.

There were/are apparently lights out all over Seattle. We were very lucky this time here in this neighborhood!

I hope you find a glue that both suits and smells good

[susandennis]

Looking amazing! I keep getting distracted, and so my pizza is all alone right now. XD
Although amethyst_witch asked about teeny tacos, so I may tackle that soon. =) The only thing about using polymer clay is no matter how neat I make it look pre-bake, it can still go horribly wrong during the baking stage. I'm hoping that, once I get a few things made, the baking process goes with out a hitch.
Although... with the pizza, even burnt it might look somewhat realistic. XD

Ugh. Glue shopping. It's such a pain. There are so many types, and not all are equal. I don't envy your search.
I'm about to start the great laundry fold here, it's just a never ending thing.

That's a great way to see your feed. I did something similar. It makes going through posts a little easier for sure.

Got the wind storm there as well I take it. Glad your lights stayed on. We only had a little flicker late last night, and a lot of wind , rain, and sheet lightning for a while. Yay winter *bleh*

I can quite see how the tiny furnishings can be quite addictive - they are fascinating.

The little tiny turntable is a hoot! I guess it's all retro style, I was doing to suggest you really need a computer someplace in the mini-room but that really doesn't fit in.
It's all so cute and I admire your stick-to-it-ness.

One of those giant 50s mainframes with all the blinking lights and tape rolls.

And a beatnik in a sweater.

I admire your patience to do that tiny house stuff. It would drive me crazy.

Have you tried nail polish remover (acetone) to get the glue off your hands? I find it works with most sticky stuff.

[susandennis]

No! I didn't even think of that. Great idea. will give it a whirl this morning. thanks.
