This year we traveled more, we saw more, and I posted more, so this post is long! Even I was worn out by the time I finished putting it together. So, find a comfy chair, scroll through, and click on what seems interesting. (If you want a really quick version, hit up this photo-only recap.) […]

The Sazerac House
I’m writing this whole long post about just a couple of hours we spent touring a liquor museum because: Okay, Sazerac is a New Orleans company, and its main product is a rye whisky that’s one of the oldest products of Nola. Sazerac’s history is wrapped up in the history of Nola as a city—through […]
Light Music Bar Tiny House (what?)
Finally, I can say that I truly hated making this Tiny House. I bought the kit because I was excited to have found a bar (the kind you drink in) as a Tiny House, but then I found the incomparable Green’s Bar for Doug, and I stashed this kit, in its box, for emergency use […]
Sectional Sofa Tiny House
Here’s a new reason for my latest tiny house to be my favorite: I was able to give it to the enthusiastic state park visitor’s center rep who helped me when we picked our campsite and planned our forays into Memphis. Margaret was actually in the campground one morning (she had rented an RV and […]
Tiny Sushi Restaurant
I was especially looking forward to making this Tiny House, but, like several recently, it disappointed me through the process. Don’t get me wrong: I think it’s lovely! But, I was savoring the idea of making each piece of sushi for each little plate, and it turned out that the directions were very hard to […]
Doug’s Tiny Pub
I mentioned with the last Tiny House post that, as we approached Madison, Wisconsin, I reached out to friends to see if anyone wanted a Tiny House. First, Patti said, “Yes, please!” so we picked one out and got all excited, and then Doug said, ”Yes, please,” and I hemmed and hawed. The one he […]
Patti’s Tiny Ocean House
This is a special Tiny House! Up top it’s a cheerful beach cottage, with sailboats and chaise lounges, and below it’s an underwater-hotel-type experience, with 360° views of ocean life. I’ve looked at this one online ever since I started making these kits but was too chicken to try it. Then, as we neared the […]
Black Bear, Black Bear, What Do You See?
I see a lone hiker looking at me. If my headline isn’t familiar to you, you don’t know a kid, I’d bet. People have been reading the picture book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, by Bill Martin Jr. and the famous Eric Carle, since 1967. My mom read it to me; I […]
Music Studio Tiny House
I super enjoyed building this kit: it’s the same ratio as my favorite house kits but it’s a music studio, and I built it for my son, Finn. You can see how happy I am with it! Now it just has to not break on the road before I can hand it to him. Singapore […]
Tiny Strange Castle
This bizarre hobby/obsession/brain exercise of mine continues on, and the superlatives advance. This latest Tiny House is so big that I am waiting to glue on the highest roof peak because it won’t fit in my shower storage bin as fully constructed. And what’s with the crosses, anyway? What Is It? It’s got tile and […]
