Nina's Playhouse

I made a playhouse for all of our grandchildren - in the closet under our stairs. Evie, our 3 year old granddaughter, was enthralled Christmas day when she went on a hunt for our play kitchen and found it behind a door that she had never noticed before. If you come over when Evie is here prepare to be invited to "her house" and remember to duck your head. I've spent more time in this closet in the last week than I did in the 7 years that we have lived here.

You'll probably have to "go to sleep" at her house. Turning the lamp and overhead light on and off is her favorite activity.

Of course it is decorated for Christmas and we're making plans for other holidays.

Evie said, "Nina, Thank you for my very own house!"

Anabelle, 15 months old, loves it, too!

They are looking forward to sharing it with future cousins.

That's not a hint.

Pie Anyone?

My granddaughter, Evie, and I have been "baking". After being inspired by a crafter on television I gathered pie pans, filling, felt, and trims and we got busy. Evie filled the pies and entertained me with original songs while I cut the crusts.
She will graciously serve you "lemon, cherry, chocolate or blueberry pie" when you come for a visit. So, y'all come!
Evie is now cooking and serving from this cupboard that I built when her mommy was her age. Time flies.... eat "pie".
