Just as an aside - I've probably bought the same 'house' in lotro four or five times now. Froggart has finally got his Hobbit-hole of Doom back!
Today, I've been making some stone cladding for the fireplace using air dry clay. It's the first time I've used it and it seems to be going well, but there is more shrinkage than I thought. I'll probably need to make more stones to fill in the gaps. I know that I need to paint the fireplace so that any gaps will look like mortar. It's quite fun, really.

Been making miniature books today. When I do cross stitch and other types of sewing, I save my small off cuts to make miniatures with. Books are quite simple and you don't need to make them complicated by having writing on the pages, etc... You just need the appearance of a book. Also use card stock off cuts as well.

Wait you can make mini books with aida scraps?? That's awesome!!

Yep. You just glue them around some wood or thick card cut to the size you want and trim them when it's dry. Evenweave works better, though because it's finer. I've also used felt cut-offs before. You can use any fabric you want, though most people who make them use leather instead. Some people use old magazines or catalogues so it looks like you have pages in them - you just use the spine, but they have to be thin

enough to cut through. Some companies make little hardbacks of classic books and print some of the text from them, but they can be expensive. Most of mine are just wood with a cover on them and glued into a bookcase. I've done that with the 24th scale ones because they fall out and are quite fiddly.

This weeks project has been my 24th scale Tudor dolls house which I had for my birthday a number of years ago (2017?). It was the year when Jaffa had his lump removed and the year before he died. Didn't realise how long it's been sitting around for me to put it together. I do have some miniatures for it, but not that many. It's a struggle to find them.
Why is it, when you ask for recommendations, people don't read the post properly?
I get tired of people 'borrowing', 'inventing' or deliberately 'finding/looking' for problems just for something to complain about. There is enough shit in life that brings you down without doing that.

Very little point in going to the doctors because all they say now is starve yourself until you're anorexic.
I'll do a guide to the novellas and short stories when I find the time. I think I've got them all, though there is one that's not available on its own in the UK. That no doubt means I'll have to pay more than I want for just one story. The anthology problem in Urban Fantasy is annoying. (The problem being you pay money for one story because there is one story that you want in an anthology and the rest are by authors

you don't take to. You don't know how many other short stories and novellas there are, so you miss things/buy things twice, etc. The worst is when you need a novella or short story to know what is going on in one of the main books and it's not published in it.

To make things confusing, there /is/ a proper Iron Druid anthology, but the synopsis does not give the title of the stories inside, so how are you supposed to know that it hasn't been published as an e-book so you can skip purchasing it? (the e-book, I mean...)
As I've not paid much attention to new authors for the past decade, when I find new ones that look interesting, I feel like I've been hibernating all that time.
So, I got given a shelf that looks like it's been made out of wood from a skip... Not sure if I'll use it. I'll see what it's like once I paint it, but I wish my partner was a bit more discerning when 'recycling' stuff...
There are more important things than football...

Started reading the first of the Iron Druid Chronicles today. Read better, but not as bad as some Urban Fantasy I've read. I think that the main character is able to defeat enemies too easily.

Covid update: News sites in the UK complain that too many kids are off school because of Covid, but they still refuse to vaccinate most of them. You can't win. This government hasn't known what it's doing from the start and it just gets laughable when the Euro football tournament is allowed to go ahead, spreading the virus. Last year Crufts when ahead, but it was very early on in the year and no one knew how bad it
bright-eyes 3 years ago

was going to be - this year, it's not even going ahead. Suspect that it the Olympics in Japan will spread the virus just as widely. Crazy, really, when there are many countries that still haven't started vaccinating/have the virus out of control/don't have access to the vaccine, or have access to resources to treat people. We've known of some people who have had it and been in hospital for months with it.

Need to find the hammer so that I can transfer the clock over to the wall where I want it to be, but I'm not sure where it is. Just a little stressed today.
Was going to order some paint from the catalogue company, but not when it's shades of grey (boring!) and £20 more than what I'd spend at a regular shop.... Nope, nope, nope! (Hate grey as a decorating colour. Don't see the appeal of it.) There is grey in the wallpaper, though, but we bought it years ago and I chose it because the other option had blue as the main background and there was a lot of blue and white -
bright-eyes 3 years ago

pottery in my partner's parents' home which we both detested. I think if I'd known years later that I would dislike grey as a decorating colour, I would have gone with the blue. However, the room isn't all grey so it's not that bad.

But it will be, of course, because everything fucking is.
Wanted the main part of it done, so I could move furniture back into it's original position but it won't be there because the job ain't done. So if there's any moaning tonight that we can't watch a dvd, it ain't /my/ fault!
