In my mind, that’s how I have been referring to this project so I it’s what I am going with for now: The Book Project. Between running hither and yon, it seems, I have managed to make a bit of progress.
One step was to create and finish the ceiling. I was going for a tin look. It might be kind of hard to see in these photos but I think it turned out well enough. When I showed it to Jay, he said, “What is that? Tin?”
Here’s the beginning: an ordinary piece of embossed scrapbooking paper.
A close up:
Starting the process with a few sprays of ink:
Mostly finished although it doesn’t look like much in this picture:
Here’s a close up of the finished portion:
The next thing on my list was to make some shelves for the books. Not anything terribly challenging there since they are very, very simple ones.

In the meantime, Sebastian has approached me with his latest endeavor. Can you believe it? He wants his own car! I am considering it but I would hate to tell him yes only to find out that there is nothing out there he can actually drive. I think I will drive around and see if anything is available. I will let you know what I find out.
And one last photo to I hope will make you smile. This photo comes from The Bear’s Blog. It shows one of my little piggies (the stuffed kind, not the toe kind) arriving at her new home. These kinds of things just crack me up and of course, I am ever so glad my little friends are well loved too! It’s a great story so if you get a moment, go on over and have a read.
Hohoho, I wonder if Sebastian has gotten wind of my suggestion?
ReplyDeleteSo you're the one that gave him this idea?!
DeleteHm-m-m-m. Perhaps I'm going to have to monitor the little guy more closely.

Hi Mari,
DeleteI'm pacing myself on the project but I am taking photos as I go so there is more to come.
Thank you!

Hi Kay,
DeleteIt helps me to stay out of trouble - most of the time! Unless it gets me into trouble...
thanks,

Oh, Miss Ginger, you are the sweetest, thank you for posting Daisy Mae, Toby and Tony. They are still sleeping but they will be so excited when I show them.
ReplyDeleteNow, about Sebastian - I have my own car. That about sums it up, huh?
Heaps of Hugs

Hi Prudence,
DeleteI am not surprised that you have your own car and I'm sure Sebastian would love to be able to join you on the road. Tell all the bears and pig there I said hello!
Thanks!
~ginger
Oh my, that is one piggy that is smothered in love! Happy car hunting...

Hi Ginger and Sebastian,
ReplyDeleteThe book project looks intriguing and I'm sure you'll find a car for a deserving and pathetic bear. (;-)). I like you talking about hither and yon, we say "hither and yon" and Alan and Ann spent so much time travelling that Alan actually wrote a Scottish Country Dance called just that!
Hugs,
Jock
Hi Jock,
DeleteIt sounds like you know more than I do about this car thing. Have you and Sebastian been chatting??? Yes, we do like a good turn of phrase in this house. Sometimes I think we could have an entire conversation using phrases and there are some people who wouldn't have a clue as to what we were saying! :D Now why does it not surprise me that Alan has written a dance? I suppose all that talent can't be contained eh? Maybe you should do the jig as a surprise!
hugs,
~ginger (& Sebastian)
