The treestump house

At last some pics - I finally found my camera (safely hidden in a box on my workbench).  I'm just going to show you the finished piece today, I'll do a post on some of the process later on.  


Nice of you to visit, please come on in.

Please join the daddy and the little boy for a cup of tea while I relax upstairs.




It's such a lovely view ...




Perfect pattern for a treehouse bed don't you think?  We don't have any jungle animals around here though ...



Perhaps you'd like to take a stroll outside and meet some of our neighbourhood creatures...

Mind the step!



The little frog seems to be a bit reluctant to jump into the pond.



One of the bunnies is missing a bit of his ear, it could have something to do with jumping head-first out of the bedroom window...

I hope you enjoyed your tour, won't you come back again?
It's fun to play together.

My "secret" treehouse project

Study is all over for another year so as promised here are a couple of  preview photos of  my  "secret" project - a mini treehouse for my grandson to play with when he comes over. 

I hope he's going to like it!  He's a young man (not yet 3) with very strong opinions about what he does and doesn't like. I can't imagine where he gets that from, although there have been a few suggestions ;)

Come on in

and take a seat

The main idea is to make it strong and simple, appropriate for a child's play, but with enough character to satisfy me at least a little.  I have some little wood and pipe cleaner people, and a few 'woodland' creatures to live in and around it.  I hope it will stimulate some imaginative play. 

There's still a lot of work to do yet though so I'd better get back to the "workshop"!
