Playhouse!

Our playhouse is finally finished :) With A LOT of help from PopPop (my dad), it finally became a dream come true for the girls.  I am posting pictures below to show what we've been up to as far as decorating the little play space.  We see this as a work in progress; as we learn new crafts/skills, we will incorporate them into our little fantasy land in the back yard. Enjoy :)



PopPop decided to convert a simple shed structure into the playhouse.  He cut a Dutch door, which is a big hit!

Personalized bunting with felt letters. Here's a tutorial from Pinterest that shows how to make a simple bunting.




This chalkboard is made from left over cement board.  We used tile adhesive to secure 1 inch tiles around the board.




We came across some old Highlights magazines, dated 1979.  The gals cut out pictures and we used a few layers of Mod Podge to cover up this old table.



The gals talked about color schemes and patterned fabric for the table skirt. I taught myself how to do a gather stitch. I used Velcro fasten the skirt to the table, that way it can be easily removed for washing.

Left over fabric from the gals' Easter dresses :) See my Miss Matches blog post for the dress pictures.

Suncatchers made from melted beads..

Dave tries to maintain blazed trails in a part of our yard that would be too sloped, wooded, and otherwise unusable.
