So, today is my day off and I decided to write a post! I was having my coffee and thinking about what to do today when I had the thought, "gee-making-little-valentines-mice-would-be-fun!-oh!-Easter-Bunnies-with-eggs,-I-need-to-finish-that-set-I-was-making,-argggh-this-house-is-a-disaster,-and-the-floor-needs-the-salt-washed-off-of-it!I-was-going-to-make-that-moth....maybe-I-should-work-on-that-chipmunk-I-started-yesterday-afternoon,..I-have-to-finish-those-forest-swing-set-guys....I-really-should-link-my-flikr-to-my-webpage...I-have-to-make-that-card-for-work..."
apparently I am having a focus problem, I overwhelm myself. I am wondering if other crafters do this as well...maybe I will find a forum to ask this on  (ravelry maybe?)
hmmm about that set ( I mentioned it in that thought tirade above) it's actually coming our pretty cute!!
 First I used a large box for the background sky, taped it to a large table.....




 here is a pic from further away so you can see the size
I cut out trees and mountains and grass from paper, taped and glued brown bags together to make the mountain, then painted it grey, and topped it with the castle made from boxes and wrapping paper tubes....., 

next I need to make more sky around the one side, add lots more trees, and the mouse house!! I'll post more pics when I do (it's on the list in my head somewhere....)
well, I guess if i am to get anything done today I should get going......
but I have gone on Pinterest yet today...........
so with salt in one pocket and a zippo in the other, until the next post, i am ever....Closer to the Edge
