You may remember that a couple of months ago, I casually mentioned how I was making my little niece a playhouse. We had been using a sheet over a card table, as that was pretty much whatI did as a kid. Although, I do also remember having a Beatles Yellow Submarine card table cover, which was pretty cool.
Anyway, since Aunt Kim doesn't have a lot of toys here to play with, I set out to make something a little more interactive.The front has a cottage door, carriage light, removeable/changeable sign, mailbox, and doggy bowl. Lady and the Tramp is her favorite movie. 
Another side has an apple tree (with pick-able apples) and a birdbath for the gold finch and bluebird to splash around in. :-)
I used a painter's canvas drop cloth for the base and started adding things little by little. Once I Googled "playhouse" for ideas, I found the most creative felt houses! This one by Homemade by Jill even provided a few templates. There is also an etsy seller ,Missprettypretty making these in different themes. Too cute! And let me tell you...they are worth every penny! This one took me hours and hours to make.
On this side we have a window with gingham curtains and a pot of flowers.
And my favorite is the vegetable garden. The carrots fit into little pockets and the cabbage leaves and pea pods have velcro so they are removeable, too. My niece loves to gather the fruits and vegetables in her little basket. :-)
It was a major pain trying to move that big thing around in the sewing machine, so if you ever make one of these, make it in sections and sew the sections together at the very end.
I'm just going to make her a few little food items next, so she can use them when we play restaurant. :-)
Next we have a large group of utilitarian pieces, including pie plates, cups and saucers, bowls, a frying pan, and even a funnel.
Here's a fabulous a large dark blue speckled bucket with handle, a small gray pot with lid, and I remember Gram telling me that the other container was for milk.
And last we have my favorite pieces. I just love the pretty blue swirl designs on these handled pots and spoons!
After the last post on pretty pillowcases, I naturally thought bedroom pictures should follow.
The tiger maple decon's bench is from my grandma. Its small size is perfect for this house. Sadly, its missing its claw feet. It only had one when it was passed to my mother and she removed the other and it hasn't been seen since. It still provides stylish storage for the quilts and bedspreads.
This is an older picture of the dresser. If I took a picture of it now, you would see that my hubby has it covered in receipts, cell phones, chargers, pens, pocket knives, fishing schedules, watches, business cards, ...etc. (you get the idea) LOL
