After spotting felt playhouses here and there on various blogs, I've decided to jump on the bandwagon. I'm making one for Emily's 2nd birthday!! Now, her bday is in May, some months away, so you might be wondering why I'm talking about it now...well...I've got time management issues, mild ADD (self-diagnosed) and a very busy toddler that doesn't always let me do things as I plan.
I've seen these put together in days, weeks and months...I'm going with months :)
So here's my breakdown.
January--
gathering supplies
designing it
getting Matt to make the frame (I'm using a PVC frame instead of a table)
making some patterns to use
cutting the panels
February--
finish the front (and most important) panel
A mailbox is a must! A window and maybe some flowers too.
March--
Finish the back panel.
I've seen a lot of people that have gardens with ripe, "pickable" fruits and veggies...LOVE LOVE LOVE that idea! I've also seen a clothesline...such a neat idea! Google "felt playhouses" and you'll get soooo many ideas! Then, of course, you can come up with your own!
April--
The 2 sides!! And honestly, I have no idea what to do on the sides yet. I've seen dog houses, apple trees ripe for the picking and even an ice cream shop!
May--
Sewing the whole thing together!
And I'll warn you--I'm not the most patient person in the world, so I'm hoping I even make it this far along :) I usually get so excited about a project, then after a little while the excitement wears off and most of the time, the project ends up in my garage or my "office" just collecting dust.
I'm super excited about this because it will be something Emily can play in for years! And really, the creative possibilities are ENDLESS on a project like this!
I'd love to hear some ideas if you've got any...my slate is blank right now :)
Thanks for Reading!
