and exactly that!! I need to see more pictures people! I am basically obsessed with this idea at the moment. I bought some of the felt today. Wal Mart didn't have all the colors I needed but I will start with what I have.

I have a couple of ideas.. On one side of the house I want to have a clothesline with cloth diapers or maybe even clothes hanging on it. Definitely doing a side with a garden that she can pick the vegetables from, I know DD will LOVE that. Then I want to maybe have a side with a lake and some fish and ducks in/on it. Animals I want to add on various sides are a bird and a birdhouse, an owl, a deer (maybe by the lake?) and definitely a puppy or kitty. I also want to make it so things stick to the inside with velcro.. Not exactly sure what yet though.
I am making it to go over my kitchen table though and that isn't very big so I hope I have room for all the idea's I have flowing through my head!!

I LOVE the idea of a clothesline with CDs/clothes on it!!! I've been browsing the ones for sale HERE for ideas (not that I'm ever in a million years going to be able to do something similar!)

Re: Started my felt playhouse!!!!!

yes, I too am excited to attempt making this felt play house for our little ones.. I just bought the felt (1/2 off at JoAnns) yesterday... I totally guessed at how much I needed, and not even sure if Ill be able to figure it out.. Ive never sewn a thing in my life (from start to finish, anyway..) I saw it on a thread here and just had to have one for Christmas! thankfully, my mom is a seamstress and perhaps I can pull her away from her quilts to help me out.. have fun, all, on this project.. am sure all the intended children will enjoy the fruits of our labors!

I am SO waiting for someone to make one! I don't have a round table, but I have a rectangular table with rounded ends, and it didn't make it any harder to do. I suggested in a previous post you could make an igloo out of a round table, but honestly you could make it into anything, just like a square/rectangular table. I would not make the side all one continous piece if you were going to sew details on it directly, tho - that would be a bear to work around in a machine. I'd probably divide it in fourths, so you'd have four seams going vertically - and you could do each of the four panels differently if you wanted. If you do make one, please post pix!

Re: Started my felt playhouse!!!!!

Here are my WIP pics of the puppet theatre. I still have some work to do, but it is coming together so nicely!
