Made a new Barbie house for Jeanie for her 6th birthday.
Got this 4-cube thing off FB, Dad and I put a back on it.
Stole the pool/frame off the old plastic Barbie house that my girls pretty much instantly broke a month or so ago.
Dad built a tiny ladder so the Barbies could access their waterslide.
He also built a storage box to store all the extra accessories.
Painted it all
The finished product, complete with a PVC slide and springy little diving board

She was super excited when she saw it, wish I had a video, there was a lot of screaming and jumping. Hope they have fun playing and imagining together.
My second craft of April was a quilt for my new niece Daisy.
Sad, JoAnns is going out of business, will have to find a new place for material!
My girls had fun giving me the next color to sew together
Started with this pattern, but didn't like it, so had to rip it up. And go back to JoAnns for more fabric.
I liked this simpler look better
Lining up with the back fabric and the batting in the middle
The part I hate, making binding and pinning it on. I always get poked 2-3x no matter how careful I am.
Done!
I hope she loves it.
I am really sad that my sister announced she and her family are moving to NC at the end of the year. I hoped having young ones and our aging parents would be incentives for them to put down some roots here. But alas, the travel bug, or desire for sun, or whatever the real reasons are, have overweighed when they said they had initially moved back here from Florida "for family" several years ago.
So Daisy will have this quilt to remember me by. And maybe future family visits, but even that its quite a drive. I'm sad about it.
