The making of Mossy Grove Dollhouse 2

I was cruising along and then ran into a little bit of a problem with my electric.

I forgot to test the three lights on the battery that I had and one of them was red which definitely will not work as a candle! I ordered a new orange flickering light but in the meantime I decided to get the roof finished.

I have been collecting pine cones for this project over the last year. I feel like they make a wonderful fantasy roof. They can be prickly on your fingers so I have to work slowly and carefully.

So I have to take apart some of the exterior to get the red light out and down into the fireplace and install the new orange light on the mantle.

I made all of the lights from beads and a glass globe (upstairs on the little table) I have had forever! I was in a little bit of a panic because I knew I wanted to use it and after 20 years of holding on to this darn thing I couldn't find it, but thank goodness I found it staged in a box  in Ophelia's dollhouse attic!

I added some rust to the outdoor lantern and ran the wire inside after drilling a hole underneath. I will cover the wire with ivy later.

The ran the battery and extra wires into a hole in the back yard and made little removable  lid with the logs. The landscaping is next...
