Busy Bee

We had a great Christmas. Although we didn't have any of our own Christmas things out (it's all packed away in storage) we enjoyed Christmas festivities all the same. We enjoyed alot of family around and alot of good food. I decided I wasn't going to stress about taking pictures of every little thing that went on, instead I just lived in each moment completely. It was nice! I did manage to get a couple of pictures of the kids outside.








And this is what I worked on in the weeks leading up to Christmas including the night before. It. Is. Awesome. I made the kids a 5 foot tall FELT playhouse framed with pvc pipe. It has a lot of little hands on details and was a lot of fun to make. But I am pooped and a little burned out on projects right now. I have put away my sewing machine for a little while.

Welcome to Apt. #24





The mailbox opens and closes and there's a hole to stick in mail.



Side of the house.

It's hanging funny right now because I need to add velcro straps the bottom of the house to keep it from pulling.
The side of the house.



The bird cage's door lifts up and the bird inside is velcro'd on.



The back of the house.



The barbecue's food comes off and on with velcro. (We're missing a hot dog.)



Our family in birds sitting in the tree. And a squirrel.




And last minute I added this fireplace on the inside to keep the kids toasty warm. You don't even have to stoke this fire!
I have other ideas for the inside like a stove top with pots and pans that can be velcro'd on and off and food that can also be velcro'd into the pots and pans......and......I have alot of ideas, but they will have to wait. I am pooped.
