The Devil Queen
How my wife and I sold our souls to the Queen Anne Victorian we tried to save.
Synopsis: This is a cautionary tale. A seriously disturbed couple find the charming, old ruin of a Queen Anne Victorian in Russellville, Arkansas, and buy it for $1.00. They tore the roof off, cut it in half, and had it moved to some land they owned sixteen miles away because they didn't know any better. Since then, they have hired and fired contractors, had all of their tools stolen, re-wired, re-plumbed, insulated, and essentially rebuilt the entire house. Their only problem is that after four years it still isn't finished. Now they are tired, broke, and wonder what in the hell it is they've done to themselves. And, it's haunted.

I love that one!
I love that one, too. I still covet the one with the oranges, though.
Jayne, thanks! I have to agree. The oranges are still one of my favorites to date.
Very nice! One of my fav so far. More immediate / gestural. Lovely movement. I'm a fan
Michael, thank you very much!
Haven't stopped in for awhile, and look what I miss. I truly love this! I can hear the snow-sound in it.
