While we were in Colorado I wanted to do a project with my mom. A few months ago I came across the blog Homemade By Jill. Jill is a crafty little thing and as far as I can tell, she lives in an apartment in New York City and has 2 children. If I lived in NYC I’m sure she would be my best friend get a restraining order against me because I would be stalking her all of the time. Anyway, on her blog there is a post about how she made a playhouse to fit over her kitchen table. I loved the idea and wanted to make one while I was in CO. It was a ton of work but I am so happy with how it turned out.
It all started like this:
Not only can Amanda design multi-million dollar homes, she can also design playhouses. I think she can make a career of it!
Then it began to look like this:
I spent a lot of time using this:
And I had a few helpers:
The finished product:
The front door:
The mail box opens and the flower can be picked!
The back: The apples come off the tree, the flowers can be picked, and the watering can comes off too. The pond: The fish have magnets and she has a magnetic fishing pole.
The garden: All of the vegetables can be picked and I left room in case I ever have time to make more vegetables.
The top.

That turned out SO CUTE, Alexis! I love it! And I bet Hannah is loving it, too. Good job! Beginner sewer...yeah, right! ;)
L-O-V-E it!!!! I showed it to Gene and he said, "Are you going to break out the felt today?" It might have to be a project to tackle this fall. Yours looks so good! Gene said that maybe we should create a zoo or a farm instead. Hannah can bring her house over and Callan will have a zoo and they can share. haha
So Cute, the house is great. PERFECT!!!!!!l
