Last weekend we had stormy and wet weather , great craft weather!
I got a NZ Home and Garden from a friend and spotted lovely houses made from felt in there. I loved them so I went to the nearest craft shop to buy some nice colours of felt. A great material to work with.
The roof is made of scrap fabric from my Cath kidston quilt. I made 3 of them. Andre said that he would like to have a look inside and I would like to have them as my holiday home. I really enjoyed making them. I also made 3 houses for in my Etsy shop, and I'm thinking of making a real Dutch house group (in red ,white, blue and orange) and a Christmas group. When I'm finished with the others I'll show you. And when I'm being crafty at the big table, Lieke is always there to make something as well. She made a little cushion with a pink ribbon and a pink button.
Andre started with renovating the kitchen and the girls were helping to take the old wall out. Great fun! I always love it when we are renovating (if the mess is not too big and you can still find your stuff). I enjoy it, because you know that the result will always be better. Sometimes it's sort of camping in your own house. And I love camping, so no problems at all with me.

I love the fact that your daughter joins in. Mine often does to. You are the first person I have heard not complaining about renovating but treating it like an adventure. I just love to hear that type of attitude. You are a much happier person for it. Cherrie
Great houses! I would love one as a holiday home too!
I love those little houses, so bright and colourful. I am looking forward the day that my daughter(s) will be able to sit with me and do their own craft.X
It looks as though you had a lot of fun making the houses together. They really are the cutest!
Schitterende huisjes; ze nodigen echt uit om naar binnen te stappen en daar in een heel gezellige keukentje aan een grote tafel een kop thee te drinken! Misschien kan je ze ook in een delftsblauw sfeer uitvoeren? Succes met de renovatie van je keuken. Zo te zien wordt het grondig aangepakt. Mijn keueken is deze vakantie ook veranderd, budgettair zo neutraal mogelijk :) maar ik ben er erg blij mee.
