American Miniaturist April 2014 & Figaro's Cottage Custom Dollhouse Continues

Pearl Cottage is in the April issue #132 of American Miniaturist.  I loved making this dollhouse. 

And I'm so grateful to American Miniaturist magazine for publishing my work again. Thank you!
And here is Figaro's Cottage today.  The siding and wall shingles are on and painted.

The chimney still needs to be done.  I'm hiding all the wires and switches in here. 
The other side has no windows. I needed a full wall for the furniture inside.
The interior construction is done. 
This is the bedroom. 
 
And I want to thank all of you who have asked about my health.  For those of you who don't know, I injured my calf muscle 5 weeks ago.  Recovery has been soooo slow!  But the good news is that I am not using my crutches anymore. I can now get around limping.  The bruising is healing too.   This injury has been the most serious I've ever had to date. I thought it would take me 3 or 4 days to recover.  I'm now believing the 8 week recovery time is not a joke.  But I'm so happy to be able to get around again without crutches!! Thank you all for being so caring and sending all those hugs and prayers! ♥♥♥  You're the best!
hugs♥ to all of you,

    I'm glad you're feeling better! Now that I'm in my mid 40's, I notice I don't recover from things as quickly as I used to (mainly too much red wine ha!).

    Every time you make a new cottage I think "Ok, this one's my favorite" but then you go and outdo yourself...so I think this is my new favorite, or definitely up there in my top 5!!!

    Hi Caroline! The house is looking good. I just want to add that you were so wise in not walking on your leg and giving it the time it needed to heal!

    Congradulations on the publication! I think the magazine is quite lucky to have your beautiful work on display!

    Take it slow and heal up, minis are best done in a nice comfy chair anyways ;)

    Congratulations on being published, Carline!
    All of your Shabby Chic dollhouses get that special Cinderella-look from you, that is the secret, I guess ;)!
    And those annoying crutches..........hang them in the trees, but not too high :D! I am glad you are healing up now.
    Hugs, Ilona
