Playhouse

My last child was born in May after my 50th birthday in April. I know where you are coming from. I built many things for her, but she was never interested in dollhouses. I bet if she had one as nice as this she would have enjoyed it. She just had her first child ( my 5th Grandchild) and he already has a truck that I built for him. You do good work for the right reason.

Truly magnificent Gene, I am sure she will enjoy it thoroughly now and the sentiment in the future.

This is such a wonderful project…it reminds me of a quote by D.H.Lawrence…
“Things men have made with weakened hands,
And put soft life into are awake through years
With transferred touch and go on glowing for long years.
And for this reason, some old things are lovely warm
still with the life of the forgotten men who made them.”

Gene: A great project made with Love. You are a blessed man.

A lot of thought, love, fun and work went into this well thought-out play house, Gene. I love the close-up shots showing your attention to the tiny and detail! I too made something for my daughter, but nothing as elaborate as yours, just with a lot of love.

My wife thinks that your project is “Just gorgeous!” and so do I. The attention to detail makes it a work of art.

-- Love thy neighbour as thyself

Exquisite work! Love the pictures.

-- Dreaming patterns

Dramatic. Fit and finish spectacular. Your a pretty good photographer also. That’s the kind of project that gives you that warm fuzzy feeling.

Very nice Gene.
That project just oozes love. You really have the gift of art, and it is especially shown here. What a wonderful playfulness you have put into this.

Thanks for sharing and letting us into your life,
Steve
