You might suppose that I'm mighty pleased with myself over this one. And you'd be right. No matter that the stitching is atrocious (around here, we call that Charm) and it won't get me into Architectural Digest. It's okay by me.
It's a pvc pipe playhouse. I wanted a playhouse for Maddie for her birthday....
Jenell- I chose not to cement the pipes, so that we could take it down when we need to. We can bring it indoors over the winter, or just dissemble it. The problem will be finding someplace to fit it inside. :) Might have to make one half that size for that.
That is amazing! Well done. I'd love to make something like that (was thinking teepee with pvc) but I don't know if I could pull it together. She must just love that!!!
Very impressive! Little spaces are so precious. My special little space when I was young was inside the branches of an evergreen tree. It was the perfect hide out, but I always had sap all over me.
OH my stars! that is just so awesome. I think i oohed loud enough and then Marlin came over and wanted to know if you had an etsy shop.... Not yet said I. Not yet. It's like a cottage from Candy land!
Steph, That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I am thinking about completely copying it for little Mina's birthday. You go mama. Melissia
Um... holy cow Stephanie, Best present ever! ... picking my jaw up from off the floor now... I think your littles need an apron to wear in their new fort, check out my mama and child vintage apron giveaway ; )
Brilliant! Brilliant! PVC pipes! I shall put this on my project list. I think we might have saws. But maybe if I smile nicely at the home depot people, they might cut all the pipes for me. Now to try and do this (i) before Christmas (ii) without the kids finding out, so they won't bug me 458 times a day.

Oh.My.Gosh! That is so amazing and yet so doable :)
Stephanie, there's nothing quite like a special place of your own when you're little (or big, for that matter).
I'll bet she loves it. Can it come inside when it rains? Or is it just for outside?

I would have lost my mind in sheer joy if I had been given such a gift as a child!!
Mama should be quite proud of herself, that is quite awesome. :)
Brilliant! I'm sure she won't be looking at your stitching. It's wonderful. and so versatile. You are so clever
That's is such a wonderful gift. I wouldn't mind moving in there.
You're a clever Momma- and ambitious too !! The playhouse is magnificent.
Owen could really go for something like this - a proper "clubhouse" for hatching his plans :0)
Very impressive!
