the plight of a city

Remember how i was building a city out of paddle pop sticks.

Well it wont fit in this house anywhere and I dont think i’ll ever have time to finish it. So i don’t know what to do with it. It’s cool and i like it so i dont want to just break it and throw it out.

any thoughts?

pop city

I’ve moved my city construction upstairs for the moment becasue its too damn cold downstairs.

Added about 150 more paddle pop sticks to the city over the weekend. Itsa slow process but lots of fun.

paddle pop city

I’ve been doing a bit more work on the paddle pop stick city over the weekend.

I’ve used just under 1,000 paddle pop sticks so far.

Still a long way to go. i’ll put a photo up.

city hits stumbling block

remember my paddle pop city that i’m building?

well i’m building a model city out of paddle pop sticks, its coming along nicely, no way near finished but it growing.

It has some buildings and a church and even a construction site.

But i have hit a problem, i have run out of the litttle blocks that i use to hold the buildings together, they are an intergrall partin the stability of the city and no shops seem to sell them anymore. Its terrible, its like i am buidling in a real city and the supplier has gone bust and is in jail over fraud charges or somethinng.

its sad. but i’ll find a way around it.

pop city

you may ask why?

the asnwer is just becasue i want to, and i really enjoy glueing paddle pop sticks togehter and making something fun with them.

i’m a little weird.

anyway today i made the first building in my city.

it took about 3 hours.
