But before I tell you about this tale of woe, I have to let you know what is going on with Kinsey's house.
Harley said that it would take a few weeks or even months to see any changes, so we just have to wait patiently and see what happens.
Meanwhile, work continues on the Amberwood. I thought a little bit of aging would make this house look good.
And, guess what - I made a rather
big mess.
I was happily listening to some music and painting a color wash all over the exterior when. . . . one of my kids walked in to my office.
"Why are you covering your house in baby poop?" they exclaimed.
Suddenly the music came to a screeching halt and I stepped back.
What was I doing???
When my building inspector gave me
THAT look. I knew it was
NOT good.
I even tried to age the roof by painting it grey and then black.
I have realized something........
Subtlety is not my forte.
(But I do like the way the paint is getting into the crevices.)
I thought that a black antique wash over everything would improve the situation.
But it did not.
It made it all dark and murky - like a haunted house!
This was
NOT the look I was going for, so I will go back to the drawing board.
Anyway, as my Mum always says, it is important to keep experimenting with your art in order to learn new things
even if you destroy it in the process.
Cheerio,
Sam
