If they can manage to be productive and helpful, I might stop fretting about how much they cost.

The trick, I've found, is to sneak up on them when they're distracted. When they sense the presence of a camera they tense up and look unnatural.

The "simple" upgrade project is becoming more elaborate and time-consuming than I ekspected it to be. Each little thing that I wanted to fix requires several other little things to be fixed first. Perhaps if I were to use better quality materials to begin with rather than raiding the rubbish and recycling bins, this would not be as much of an issue.

That's exactly what happened.  yay
I appreciated that she was conscientious enough to cover the floor while she was painting.

Well, she's better at it than I am, at least. She seems to have a fair amount of patience for the tedious detail work.

It's great that so many of them joined the project. It will allow them to appreciate their rooms even more!

Janie looks a bit surprised by the camera there. She clearly did not ex.pect to be bothered when she was working.

I agree with neon, surely working on the project will let them all appreciate the rooms more.

Well, don't we all; I mean really... LOL

Another cute shot; I bet they could have some fun(??) with that great big glue bottle!

What's that old saying? Something about many hands make for more opportunities to screw things up?

More likely, it will give them reasons to nitpick their own rooms and whine about why they're not as good as the other girls' rooms.

The photographer was similarly surprised, and did not ex.pect to see Janie working!

I don't think it's the right kind of glue.  Whacked

I really can't possibly go back and catch up on the two months I've missed, but the last couple of photos are stunning!

Don't worry, you didn't miss much. I have been in a bit of a slump myself, and have only been getting back to posting more interesting photos over the past few days.

Very spooky... I thought of a deserted street in a mystery movie...

Hahaha, that feels like what I've been dealing with over the last few months. I must remember that one.

Whacked HA! And I was just thinking about them getting into a mess and covered with glue! LOL

Scarah looks a bit lost. I hope she finds her way.

Your set pieces are so creative

I love Scarah's eyes! Although, I think I could imagine a bit scarier banshee... Great lighting!

Oh, good! That's the effect I was going for!

Yes, the "pleather" (plastic leather) jacket is very mod!

Scarah is in her element roaming the city at night. She'll be all right.

You're right, Scarah looks fairly un-scary here. But with moodier mood lighting she can appear quite disturbing.
