Based on a You Tube Video (The DM's Craft by DM Scotty) I made 10 primitive huts out of cardboard seeding pots. They didn't turn out as spiffy as I would have liked, but they are serviceable. So, if we need a primitive village set-up, we're all set.

Behold my swag
Did 2 hours of intensive shopping at "Cold Wars" on Saturday.
First: Some miniatures: dismounted Norman Knights with Swords, Halberd Guys, and Knights with Big Weapons:

Second: Cobblestone Mats: 4 18"x12" rubber mats with a cobblestone pattern, probably going to cut them into a series of roads/streets sections.
Third: A resin cottage (which I bought because I mis-read the price tag) and a cave-hole piece
Fourth: A church model--took a chance on this one, it is 15mm scale, but it is a model of a big church, so it should be good for a medium-sized 28mm church
Fifth: A collection of small furniture pieces: round table, fireplace, bookcase, beds, and a set of metal bases.
Sixth: the Game Master of Crusader game gave me a copy of the ruleset, which he had written and published back in '92. It's fun and fast. I had an extremely good time.

Second: a look at the dissembled pieces: designed for miniatures placement inside.

Fall-In Minis at last
I bought a few miniatures at the Fall-In convention back in November, just got round to painting them. They came from the Ral Partha bargain bin:
First is an assortment of creatures
Camel, Ettin, Crocodile, Lioness, and Bull-Ape-Demon thing
Next, some of the Devil's Furniture: stone table with skulls on corners, and big skull face for all your wall-based intimidation needs

Big House for the snow day
Having the day off and also having a burst of zeal, I completed the large medieval building I had been planning for a while. It's completely scratch built with materials I had in my house. The roof was a roof terrain piece I've had sitting around for many years, and the 2 back doors and front first floor shuttered windows were left overs from the kits I had made recently. The rest was just a converse shoe box, and small pieces of cardboard and wood.
It's intended to serve as a town Guildhall, or a feasting hall for Vikings or great hall for a castle, or as an unfortified manor house in the countryside.

Keep for Owlbears
I finally got around to painting my Keep (suitable for Owlbears). This took about no time at all. It was pre-primed (which is good since it's Styrofoam and can't be sprayed). I just painted the doors and arrow-slits and then dry brushed it with brown and light grey. Done.
Now I've done with my buildings for now and should get back to campaign work.
