Moomin Moments #3 — Little Pieces, Little Details

The little pieces are starting to add up! This round was all about putting together more little pieces of furniture and adding some of the décor. I love how each finished piece makes the house feel a little more like a home.

And… I had another little casualty. :joy: One of the table legs broke while I was putting the pieces together. This time, it wasn’t quite as simple as the first piece that came apart—the wood actually splintered, so getting it back into shape was a bit more challenging.

I eventually glued it back together (with a little less patience than I probably should have had :sweat_smile:). It isn’t absolutely perfect, and once it’s in place, I hope no one notices.

I also broke the tip of one of the rungs of the ladder while I was trying to loop the wire around it. Glue (and a lot of patience) fixed that, too. The instructions showed a 1:1 ratio but mine turned out a bit shorter. I hope it will be okay when I attach it to the house.

Other than my tiny table-leg and ladder incident, the build continues to be surprisingly relaxing and straightforward.

More little pieces, more little details… and the Moomin home is slowly coming to life.

Thank you so much @300. This hobby teaches me to have more patience each day … I remember a time when I would have just tossed it aside and forget about it :sweat_smile:

I may have pressed too hard pushing the piece into place that’s why it broke … The pieces also seemed a bit softer than they normally do, probably because of the damp weather.

Thank you @Nita_Davis. You’re so right about incidents like this being so frustrating :neutral_face:
