Modular homes are factory-built homes that, dollar for dollar, offer more value than the stick-built home. Newly-built modular homes are up to 20 percent cheaper, and their stigma is slowly being erased. Modular homes are required to meet the same standards that on-site builders must meet.
I have attached a picture over a part of our city built up with tiny houses of different designs. This type of building in this type of area are called "kolonistuga" and the tiny houses are called "koloniområde."
Using structural insulated panels (SIPs) to build new house kits reduces your need for skilled labor while balancing cost, construction, strength, and energy efficiency.
StikBox has launched a Kickstarter campaign for its multi-purpose phone case that features a built-in selfie stick. The aluminum stick simply extends when you need it and folds up neatly when you don't.

Well folks, it is time to post the last of the pictures I have from Chicago. I'm sure I have said it before, but humor me and let me say it again...this was one of the most soul inspiring trips I have ever taken. It will never take the place of the first time I went. When you have never been and suddenly you are hit with such a huge display of creativity, it is awe inspiring. The difference between the first time and this time was that I took the time to really speak with the creators of these minis on this trip. One of the things that you quickly realize is that all the people you have followed and watched for years are just like you. They are creating miniatures becasue it is their passion. These people are lucky enough to be able to spend their days crafting these little bits of art for a living (at least a lot of them do) and when you look at the items they have created, it dawns on you that their intense love of this craft allows them to dream up and produce items of pure joy. They love to talk about their art. You can speak about miniatures and they know what you are talking about. Not one time that weekend did I feel I was talking to a group of blank faces. To be able to spend two days talking minis and having a receptive audience is great. There is no way I could ever list everyone that I spoke to or showcase all the works that I saw. Some of the things are so beautiful you could almost cry. I hope that over the last week I have given you a lot to look at and enjoy. Now it is time for what you are really wanting to see....more pictures. Some of these artists I can't remember, but I wanted you to see some of the other things I saw. This roombox was being sold to benefit the people of Japan. 100% of the sales price went to the Japan Relief Fund. There are many artists represented here and the box was designed by Jo from Spencer's nook. (http://www.spencersnook.com/) Sorry for the glare in this picture, but photographing through glass in a ballroom is challenging to say the least. This 1" scale box featured Merlin's room with a secret passage behind the bookcase, a great view out the windows and many fun magical items. Yep, this is Merlin's workshop in a teacup. What a creative idea! It is true, your eyes are not deceiving you. This dollhouse is completely stick-built like a true house. The details were amazing the inlaid floor in the following picture was stunning. The brick work on this store front was absolutely amazing. Love this witch and wish the other picture I took had turned out. The "box" beside her to the left was actually a large encyclopedia that had been hollowed out and features a cave with lots of crystals, bats and other "witchy" things. This roombox was made by Robert Dawson of The Model Room (http://www.themodelroom.com/) and he was nice enough to take the glass off the front so I could get some great pictures of it. The small nook in the back was the perfect place to sit and take in the scenery. It was another one of those "crawl inside and sit a while" displays. WOW! I sure hope you have all enjoyed my little pictorial journey through the show. I still have to take pictures of teh miniatures I bought on Sunday before I left Chicago, but perhaps I'll get those done today and can share those tomorrow. Till later!

Cass made sure his tiny house wasn't just another match-stick or cookie cutter creation. He poured his heart and soul into every detail and it's amazing.

That moment of enlightenment. You know, that moment when you realized that these tiny house things were pretty darn cool. Personally, I think it goes way back to the days of tree houses and forts.

El Estepario Siberiano and Meinl have created a signature stick together that features many classic elements but is specifically built to match his wide range of drumming capabilities from effortless grooves to ‘must-see-to-believe’ mechanics. The result is a stick that perfectly blends versatility with speed and agility. Using select US hickory, this stick begins with a medium-thin diameter of 0.555" for a standard grip that is just under a 5A and features an acorn tip for quintessential cymbal definition. To create a more modern feel, each dowel is cut to a unique length of 16.375", and when combined with the medium taper and medium weight, these sticks come alive around the kit and respond in any situation. "We spent a few months developing the perfect stick that works in every single style of music. Not only did we work on the diameter and length for balance, but we also found the weight I needed for durability. Now, each pair lasts longer than my last marriage. This is not just a drumstick. This is the tool I use to make a living, and I trust it with my life."

driftwood washed ashore wrapped with love for Soldier Sons pray for safe return For the past several weeks, I have been creating Spirit Sticks to send to my son in Kuwait. There are 15, one for each team member. They haven been wrapped with beadwork, leather and wool fibers. As I wrapped each weathered piece of wood, I was mindful and thankful for the service and sacrifice of each young man. I sat in my air conditioned studio, knowing they are working in temps rising above 120 degrees F. They have been away from home for 6 months. I wept. I smiled. I infused each stick with love. This is a very small token of my appreciation, for now. Haiku my Heart
