all those years of architecture school finally paid off…This was definitely not a quick craft project, but it was a lot of fun and we can still add to it! We decided Smidge needed her own little castle fort, that fits over our kitchen table! I didn’t make it too girly…just so Adam will think it’s cool for years to come.
Actually, I think Adam already thinks it’s pretty cool.
I made extra pieces for the “garden” and the “market”. Each piece can be tucked into the little picket fence or pockets at the “market”.
I made a little house in the tree for some dollar store bunnies. The apples are yellow on one side and red on the other and they are attached by brown ribbons (that look like twigs!).
He likes to poke his arm through the windows and stretch them out of shape.
I was inspired by these felt playhouses…but I made mine bigger to fit our dining room table and I look forward to customizing it even more, with even more wall space to accessorize!
Check out my own little linky-to-do-list of other inspiring ideas I have found on other sites for projects I would like to try someday! Did one of YOUR ideas make the linky yet? Any recommendations?
That is such a cool fort! Great work!

Monica, this is darling!! I love it!!
I also love the other felt toys you posted, from IKEA… Sure wish we had one around her!
Thank you also for the package you sent! That was sweet of you. I will try to find time to post about them soon. God bless!!
adorable! so nice to “meet” you and thanks so much for sharing on Craft schooling Sunday!
Wow, I’ve never seen such a large felt house before. I’ve actually never seen pieces of felt so big. That is a really lovely idea. We are always making forts and things from blankets but one that we could just pop over the table would be so easy (and yours is so beautiful).I’m stopping in from NOBH and will be back again soon, I’m sure!

OH I LOVE this! My kids love building forts in the house and I could see them playing with this all day! Your children are blessed with such a creative and cool mommy! I know your family will build many happy memories under your table with this fort 🙂 Thanks for sharing your gifts on NOBH!
Monica,
This is adorable, and your kids are so lucky to have this wonderful playhouse! I love your little touches, like the fireplace inside the house and the bunny hiding in the tree! So creative!
