Gingerbread House

I saw this felt gingerbread house and thought I'd try it myself; Anna had a lot of fun decorating & re-decorating this morning. I made pockets and put cardboard in between the layers of felt. I had a tough time getting that roof on with hand-sewing because of incredibly awkward angles but for the most part it has been pretty quick & easy! I followed the gingerbread house design from Joy of Cooking. I hope to spend some more time making nicer decorations but I have a few other projects to complete before Christmas as well and Anna's having fun with these decorations as-is. I originally thought I'd leave one roof-side not attached but ended up sewing a button on the bottom so I can store the decorations inside the house.

That is sooo cute! You have a lot of energy to make all of the stuff that you do. Looks like Anna loves it too.
