So today Miles wanted to play with a doll house, which gave me the perfect opportunity to pull out an oldy, but goody from my childhood. When I had started school, but my mom still had my brother at home. The two of them made me a doll house. It was simply made of 2 pieces of 1/4 inch ply with a slit cut half way up from the bottom on each piece, so that they can slide together. They wall papered the walls and cut pictures from magazines to create 4 separate rooms.

The furniture was made mostly by Mom, but the kitchen appliances were made by a friend of the family. ( I received them as a Christmas gift one year.) Mom and Wendell did affix them to the doll house with zip ties. The couch is a Velveeta box and piece of cardboard attached and then paper mached for the back and arms of the couch. The cradle is the bottom of a dish soap container that has had a cover crocheted to make it look lacy and stuffed with a tiny pillow for the baby barbie to sleep. The barbie bed doubles as storage for all of the barbie's clothing and accessories. There is a zipper on the bottom and the blanket and pillows are sewn on, so pieces can't be lost. |
Daddy has decided that Barbies is, "....defiantly a Mommy and Miles thing to play."
