The hubs has been busy in the shop working on
my request for a simple, sturdy, playable, rustic,
hillbilly fairy dollhouse. BIG request, I know &
frankly, I wasn't sure what to expect.
I could tell a story about the time I wore a "pair
of sunglasses" while we painted our daughters
bedroom, followed by a re-paint 2 days later, instead,
I'll just say, I had my fingers crossed he wouldn't
paint the beautiful barn wood hot pink!

I peeked in several times to see the progress. The
beginnings of a porch & an adorable little fairy door.
I gave the hubs a "thumbs up".

Lots of walls, a roof & round fairy windows with trim.
This is lookin' good! Another "thumbs up".
A rustic working door latch & hinges.
A big "thumbs up".
The hubs loves glue & clamps.
Actually, he loves all tools.
Actually, he loves all tools.
Big tools, little tools and especially tools he can
hook up to the air compressor....for lots of power!
He's a happy guy when he's in his domain.

I saw him wire brushing the barn wood,
& doing lots of sanding. I spotted a can of
gray stain. HUGE sigh of relief & a double
"thumbs up".

To me, he waved his magic wand & poof.......
a simple, sturdy, playable, rustic, hillbilly fairy dollhouse.
Just what I requested, how could I have doubted him?
It's an absolute hillbilly hoot & I love it.
Thank you dear!

The hubs, his brother Curt, & sailing buddy Dave
have recently returned from the island of St. Lucia,
(eastern Caribbean) where they participated in the St.
Lucia Independence Day 2 day sailboat race.
Congratulations on your first place win!
Curt, Dave & the hubs on the far right.
The hubs turned 68 in February & with 42 years of
marriage under our belt, he still inspires & amazes me.
This is his favorite quote.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."
