OMG... It's an update!

These are my two latest acquisitions, which will be used in this year's HBS Creatin' Contest. I completely lucked out on the tea set, as it's not listed on the store's website and was the very last one they had in the actual shop. The tea set is sitting on the $4 Pier 1 napkin I intend to use to upholster a sofa.

After the contest deadline, I will bombard you with more pictures of this project than you'd ever want to see. In the meantime, I will be updating you with detail shots of various things I make or buy, both for this project and for the house.

An apology to my followers

Life has been... interesting lately. I think about my Newport every day (with a great bit of guilt, I might add), but I simply haven't had the time or energy to get to it yet (not to mention that I haven't yet purchased a worktable sturdy enough to handle its bulk).

So I'm terribly sorry that I haven't had anything to post yet but I will be getting on with things eventually.
