After all the New Year’s Eve visitors had left, I could finally get back to work on the cuckoo clock. When I opened the box, I smelled the scent of all the wood. I was instantly happy again
I didn’t get to do much. I painted the plant in two shades of green and made the watermill
My father gave me a small folding table for the sofa. It’s gotten very cold in the netherlands at the moment, and this way I can sit comfortably by the fireplace with my husband
The next step is making the walls, and then the cuckoo clock will start to take shape.

You did a great job. The paint made them look completely different. I’m looking forward to seeing more pictures.

My set already had color, so I didn’t add much more coloring.

That sounds so cozy! The smell of the wood really sets the mood, and it’s lovely to see it slowly coming together

I really just love this one. Be sure that spring is pushed well in to place so cuckoo works!

The gift is very useful. It’s best to build at the table, but sitting in the cold isn’t nice either

If there was a glass of wine with it it would be even more cozy

I’m also very happy to be able to start working on the cuckoo again. I’m using this color for the house. I want it to look a bit like a German house.
I think I’ll make the roof dark green, but that might change during construction
