I'm so happy to announce that Ashtyn's felt play house is FINISHED. Welcome to the little blue house on 1116 Cutieville Lane. Shall we take a tour?
Ding dong, is anyone home? The porch light is on....a special delivery for Ashtyn....could it be a letter from Grandma?
Usually the front door is open because friends are always welcome....and mommy's and daddy's too.
Lets head on around to the side of the house where a fresh spring breeze dries some clothing hanging out on the clothes line. Once the clothes are dry put them into the laundry basket.
Wait a minute, I hear some sniffing on the other side of the house....who could it be? It's Ashtyn's beloved Boston Terrier, Derby, smelling the spring flowers.
Now lets head to Ashtyn's garden in the backyard. I think I smell the sweet aroma of red juicy apples.
Once we're done picking apples, lets harvest some fresh veggies like lettuce, carrots and pumpkins.
The pumpkins are looking great. They will make perfect Jack-o-lanterns come October.
Thanks for visiting Ashtyn's cozy little house. Please visit again soon.
I had so much fun making this charming little house for Ashtyn. It took many hours of hard work but I'm happy to say it turned out exactly how I had envisioned it. It's all sewn...no glue used. As you can see in the pics, I used velcro to allow the fruit to become removable. We didn't have a suitable table for this playhouse so we built the frame from PVC pipe. In the end I like how it makes the playhouse transportable and easily stored away. Although I think that will be easier said than done.
A big thanks to Fawnda over at Fireflies and Jellybeans for doing her five week Felt House Along. She got me motivated to tackle a large yet very rewarding craft project.

ReplyDeleteSo now that I know Ashtyn got my letter, is she coming to play??
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it was obviously a lot of work but you did a great job. Wow. Lucky little Ashtyn will spend many hours playing in her cute cozy colorful playhouse for years to come. And you'll never have to worry about where to store it like you would a plastic or wooden playhouse.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing your house! It turned out really cute. I still love the hanging laundry side - may have to borrow that idea on my next playhouse.
ReplyDeleteHooray for finiahing your ADORABLE house! I love the lundry side! TOO CUTE! Great job! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable. I've got a felt playhouse on my project list, but have started with felt food to get used to working withe felt. Great project!
ReplyDeleteI like how interactive you made this. Not only is it cute but the kids can stay entertained for a long time with how much there is to do.
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest house I have ever seen! I love it. I made one for my daughter this week, and borrowed a lot of your great ideas. I linked to your post on my blog today. Thanks!

Absolutely the most cutest thing I've ever seen! Looks like lots of work, but so worthwhile!
ReplyDeleteThis is too adorable! I want to play! I wish I was a sewer, we'd be making one of these this summer. My daughter would go crazy for this playhouse. Awesome job!

ReplyDeleteThat house is so wonderful! What a beautiful idea and execution!
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible! I just LOVE it! How many yards of felt did it take for the walls and top?
ReplyDeleteI just finished my own felt playhouse. I started looking around for inspiration for a second one and saw yours via pinterest. I love your clothesline--what a cute idea!
