Here are a couple of pictures of the paper scrap I used for the gingerbread and the plastic needlepoint canvas I used for the railing. You can see where I trimmed the canvas to make the railing...

And here are a few pictures of the finished porch. One with the glitter applied and the other of the porch dry fitted onto the house. Please keep in mind that these are all times three.

good morning...i know it's not polite to shout...but...

I NOMINATE YOUR PORCH RAILING AS "BUILDING TIP OF THE YEAR"...

You are doing a fantastic job!! I am getting lots of great tips and how tos. I Love ALL the pictures!!

Looks pretty cool so far. Keep the photos coming.

Happy Saturday everyone!
I finished all three porches and have installed the LED porch light. I am hooked on these LED lights! I like them because you can take the putz anywhere and there is no digging around for a power source...
I have attached two pictures. One of the three porches and one that shows the wires for the porch light a little better...

Lee, House is looking really good I can't wait to see it when finished. I have not yet tried making a pattern from using the graph paper not quite there yet. I have been using patterns found and printed down. Hopefully I will be making some patterns too I'm sure my good friend Lynn will help me.

Love the LED's. battery or a wall wart transformer to power them?

Can wait to see the finished house.
