The sun finally came out....

So, I decided to get a little work done on the Star Wars Toystore. I went ahead and used the bucket of All Purpose Joint Compound that we had left over from the bathroom project. (Even told the bf I was using it, and that he'd just have to buy more when he finally gets around to finishing the bathroom.) Friday afternoon, I got the whole house 'iced'. It worked as well as the plaster, however, it does crack as it dries~ maybe it was too thick in areas?

Here the joint compound is still wet......I was finishing up the left side.

Then this morning, I decided to add sand. I had a bag of black sand left over from another project, so in it went. I used this mixture to do the street...it looks gray, but is drying white. I like how it looks, and think I may go back over the whole house with this mixture...maybe. First I want to paint to two different areas, and see which one looks better. I'm thinking the sand mixture is, but if I can get away with the house like it is, then I will....I'm ready to paint!!

Here's a close up of the door jam......I'll probably do the floor on the inside of the house the same way......

Even took it out in the yard for a picture....I'm thinking when it's done I need to take it to the beach for a really neat picture...Either that or I need to find a kid with a big sandbox!!!

What's this? We even have a visitor......Thank God he kept his feet out of my wet sand mixture or he'd have it looking like Hollywood Blvd! ((Actually, now that I'm thinking of it, that may be fun to do.....))

And the last picture for the day is of the cracking that has occurred....The bf says it makes it more authentic.........Guess once I get the paint on it, we will see.........

Ok, little house....hurry up and dry, so I can paint you!
