Speaking of teachers, a great teacher was my
Oma (grandmother) who taught me so many wonderful things during the summers I
went to visit her in Germany. It’s
because of her that I learned my numbers, colors, and even read a few words in
German before first grade, which made it easier to learn English. It’s because of Oma, that I love to sew and
do crafts. She taught me to make
something out of nothing.
Well, today I am just going to talk about my next plans for
the Paris Project. I am in my final week
(of eight week courses) - and this course has --five-- assignments due this Friday
(as opposed to Sundays). So, needless to
say, I have to make it my priority. ☹
The courses are for the master’s in
teaching Secondary Education as I want to teach middle school and high school
students. It’s my second career after
being in business/project management over 30 years, and quite honestly, less
stressful, less hours, and less corporate junk (if you get my meaning).
So, onto the Paris Project plans. After these "lovely" assignments are completed, I want to finish putting
on Kilz (primer) on the fourth walls (and all the floor) , then I can glue the wedge
to make a flat roof (as the original kit has an angled roof). Then I can wallpaper
that floor.
Next, I want to age the glass roof and put the “glass” (sheet plastic) in. (See previous post comments on Day 12 (link at top) if you have questions about the ideas for that process.) Then I can put together the first floor, but I need to figure out the color trim and base. I plan on having the outside walls stuccoed to make it look a little older. In keeping with my vow to use what I have on hand, I'll next be pulling out possible paint colors. Hopefully by Friday, I hope to ask you, the readers and followers, for your input to the color combination. Chris will be posting pics for me to have you vote and decide what looks best.
