I am officially on Part B of my dollhouse instructions, lol. Part A had 3 steps; I had to sand and paint the window frames and door frames, shutters, and flower boxes. Then I had to put them together. I got bored waiting for the paint to dry so also tried a dollar store cradle, lol.

I wasn't sure whether to use carpenter's glue or the fast grab tacky glue. I tried both and like the fast grab better. It seems to hold well. I'll do the main parts of the house with carpenter's glue, just in case.
The cradle was part of a set that I bought at the dollar store. It had weird tab and slots; the tabs were huge, with hooks on the edge. I cut them off. I was going to put bows on the cut out parts, so it looks like I've tied a mattress cover set there, but now I'm wondering if I should just fill the cut out parts in with wood filler or plaster and paint over them.
The wood was very thirsty; it took over 5 layers of paint to do these little items.
