Are any other moms out there ready for these spring rains, that do bring beautiful spring flowers, to pack up and move on? We're getting some cabin fever over here and looking for any way to entertain. One of my favorite rainy day secret weapons is a playhouse front I made out of some curtains.

I discovered some old curtains that I had from who knows where and decided to sew the two pieces together to make one big piece. I cut out a door and windows and lined them with ribbon. I think this is about the time that I completely gave up the sewing part and pulled out a hot glue gun. Then, the mailbox was added from some scrap fabric I had, a felt planter with some felt and pipe cleaner flowers were stuck in, and a doorbell from felt. A cute roof was added with fabric. I made curtains later (on one side because I procrastinate) and a little ribbon table with a felt cup and cupcake. It's such an easy project and I love that you can fold (or just wad it up) and throw it in a closet before company comes over. We slipped a shower curtain through the top and put it in the hallway in front of her room, or as you leave the living room, or wherever. Who doesn't love an automatic playhouse?! And because pretty much everything was done with a hot glue gun (and all of it could have been), anyone can do this project!

Hope this saves some of you on some rainy days!

Until next time,
Heather
