DONE

This was supposed to be a Christmas present for the boys last year. They were going to wake up Christmas morning and find this on the table. I worked fast and furious and got much of it done, but then we decided to go out of town for Christmas and I decided not to worry about it. After all, it won't fit on anyone else's table. Since then, I have been slowly working on it here and there. Yesterday, after almost an entire year, I finally finished it.

So here's their playhouse. The flowers can be picked from the planter, and the mailbox does close.
Brychan is in love with that little owl. And to the left is going to be a garden once I finish all the produce for it. I think I'm going to hang a "clothesline" across the top there too.
The doggie door. Which will have a magnetic bone that they boys can put in the dog dish.
The back window
And some of the produce. The apples and oranges will hang from the trees, and the garden will have carrots, lettuce, pumpkins and maybe some corn on the cob. Or peas? I haven't decided yet.
It's definitely not perfect, but I figure it really doesn't have to be. And the boys love it, which is all that matters! Hopefully it will last for years to come!
