I love little houses,they're always popping up on Kickcan & Conkers.
If you follow me on Twitter you will remember me tweeting about this wonderful group of ladies who spent twenty three years knitting a replica of their village in Kent. Twenty three years to knit over sixty properties complete with hedges, wheely bins, cars and village cricket green. I am more than impressed, brilliant I say! Thank You Grace and Judy for the link.
In another part of the world ChloƩ Fleury has crafted her favourite neighbourhoods in San Francisco out of paper. On show recently at The Curiosity Shoppe, ChloƩ's colourful poster installation looks uplifting and fun. Any of her streets would look great in a kid's room so why not rummage around for some old small cardboard boxes and have a go at making something similar with your own children? The street where I live - a super craft project for your kids this Summer!
These are all precious. Those ladies are too cute with their neighborhood. LOVE!!!
