Fire Station Playhouse!

My favorite gift this year was one that wasn't even mine!! 

The little man finally opened his fireman hat, so we took him to the study where Grammie helped him see the fire station playhouse.

That face...be still my heart!

"Hello, playhouse!"

Angell Fire Department door design, compliments of Uncle Gavin, on printable fabric.

The fireman has his ladder up the tree ready to climb up and get the kitty down. Someone needs to pick those apples and put them in the basket.

"I don't want to go back to Christmas!"

"I done crying now."

Later in the morning, the little man disappeared with Grammie's iPad and this is where we found him.

Several of us made trips into the playhouse with the little man during the day. Grandpa had a great flashlight that was a hit in there. What a joy! Sigh!  

I got the pattern from Miss PrettyPretty on Etsy and purchased my felt here. It is from recycled material and came wrapped around a tube so it wasn't folded. I am already plotting another playhouse to stay at Grammie and Grandpa's house.

Love this block!

Bee block for Staci - BUBK bee, a photo by myfullcolorlife - Vickie on Flickr.

This bee block is for Staci in the Bee Unique Bee Knotty bee over on flickr. I opened the package with the fabric in it and when I saw the green I had to work on it immediately, even though she graced us with not having to do it until January.

This is going to be such a fun quilt. Staci asked that we not square it up. I chain pieced the strips she sent (heard she cut 700 of them!!!!!) and after cutting them to the size strips I wanted, there are three more strips leftover for another block.
