Moving House !

Dearest Ruby,
        What can you make with an old box you may well wonder ? I should have thought to take a before and after picture, but I was too full of enthusiasm, and delved right in with the painting and decorating. The idea of a play house for you for Baby developed rather, as I found some carpet for flooring and then some sticky-backed plastic suitable for the kitchen area. Curtains were fun to make and tie back with ribbon, and then a clock to hang on the wall.

 
I then began to paint flowers on the outside walls, so you can imagine Baby's own garden.

 
This afternoon you brought Baby to see her new house. I love it that you have chosen to wear your sunhat. Don't you look wonderful.
 
 
Mummy soon begins 'The Move' from my house to yours.

 
Off you go down the road, helping Mummy carry the weight. 


It's a tight squeeze to get in through the front door of your house.
 
 
You waste no time in making a sandwich for your dollies and a cup of coffee for yourself.

 
You can see Ruby, I found a picture of 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' to hang on the wall beside the clock, and I've hung some colourful bunting I crocheted above the window.

 
We've brought the cooker into the kitchen area and you are frying sausages.
 
I hope you will enjoy many fun times playing in your Play House Ruby. I certainly had fun making it over the last week or so.
 
Love and hugs,    Nana  x
