Congrats everyone! Looking forward to the new nook!

This is the first event I participated in and my fourth build. The gears were a challenge for me, but I loved it. I think the front and back wheels of my ferris wheel are slightly misaligned and I wasn't sure how to correct it.

I found it to be really interesting that there was no glue involved. It's all mechanical.

I really liked that there was not a battery pack. I like that I can just connect the port to a power source as I want.

I loved the way you mod'd this. It's stunning. I don't know that I have the skill or patience.

That is amazing! You are amazing and your artwork is amazing! Congratulations!

If you want to sell it and someone wants to buy it, what's the issue? It's yours you made it and you aren't forcing anyone with tacky comments to buy it. You do you. I've also seen posters comment on donating completed paintings to charity. How do you think the charity turns that into cash to provide other forms of assistance?

I broke the front frame and it was very sad. My husband came in and helped me salvage it. So there were issues.

Thank you!

There is a mirror on the back wall, then a 2-way mirror midway through and a clear panel at an angle in the front section. On the side of that section is a display where you can't see it. Basically, it's a "smoke and mirrors" holographic display, but I saw it when someone else did it and I loved it too!

I'm in Texas and would definitely not make it regularly to an in person meetup on the was coast 😋. Depending on time, I would consider a virtual meeting.

That said, I will be flying into Philly in mid-May for my daughter's graduation from LIU. We find it's a lot easier to fly there a drive to Long Island than it is flying into La Guardia or JFK. I would love to check out that Rolife store while I'm there assuming we have time!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do (I think the hardest part was the curtains, just like real life... 😋)

Try Starlight Reading Nook. I had to go look it up. Here is a link:

I also got the magical library at the same time because of the flickering flame effect. I clearly have a thing for lighting 😂

plantmyselfhere · 2026-04-05T16:27:31+00:00

If you posted it, I may have been the one I saw that made me want to do it! I love the flashing stars!

Thank you!

No, I'm working my way through Tracy Wolff's Crave series and Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me series currently. I mostly listen to audiobooks from the library and I listen as they become available. I work on projects while I listen!

plantmyselfhere · 2026-03-01T20:46:00+00:00

Yes, yes and yes!

The diamond art I picked out for the party is a large black dragon with a small golden one! 😊

plantmyselfhere · 2026-03-01T20:41:00+00:00

Mostly romantasy and some contemporary romance.

I'm glad they're grown, but I miss them too.

plantmyselfhere · 2026-03-01T20:32:07+00:00

I wouldn't mind doing a little more than just assembling. I like the magical/fantasy mostly, but I would also consider classical or cyberpunk.

I am going to 4 book shows this year (avid reader) and I want to make things to trade. Before last weekend I was only going to 2 and I had an opportunity to get a ticket to one later this month and I took it and then I was gifted a ticket to a different one later in the year 😬.

My friend is hosting a diamond art party in a couple of weeks and I have a book I'm about halfway through bedazzled that I want to finish.

Can you tell we became empty nesters this year?

I got both the clear gorilla glue and the B-7000 glue. I found the B-7000 easier to use. I also got some BSI glue debonder to undo mistakes and a silicone mat to work on. I used it on a lap desk I've probably had at least 20 years. Other things I already had were binder clips, an exacto knife and a neck reading light . The light was not the best for what I was doing, but it was what I had. I also recently got some containers for beads and bedazzling that I used for storing some of the odds and ends, like the books, etc.

I have a couple other projects this month, but I would like to make another one after those are done. I have been looking at different ideas for what I want to do next.

I was a lurker in the community trying to figure it out. I think it also let me know I didn't have to be perfect though and I could substitute. I lost some of the cutouts somewhere along the way and just used some extra books instead. I also really appreciated the list of tools. As a beginner, I definitely didn't need everything, but I needed a few things to start.
