i was trying to make this house for Maxine for Christmas, but i didn't finish it in time. so here it is, a random January gift that she was very pleased to receive.
front:
back:
and inside:
it has a little handle and a button/elastic closure. it's a combination of sewn and hot-glued craft felt on cardboard (where do you get nice craft felt? any tips would be appreciated) i pictured that she would put her little 'guys' in it (an assortment of wooden, plastic and stuffed creatures) and be able to carry them around. but right now she likes to wildly swing it around by the handle so we'll see how that goes.
