This is a repost of a post I made two years ago...My Teddy bear house from a Mouse House pattern.
Since I have a lot of people from the House Mouse website who visit, I thought they might like to see my The Teddy bear House, which was made from a pattern I saw in Better Homes and Gardens magazine about 16 or so years ago, My father in-law made it for my grandson, who was two at the time. I couldn't find little mice to put in it...which is what the House called for....but I found some little teddy bears instead so the Mouse House became a Teddy Bear House inside. Some of things you see in it I didn't let a two year old play with, since I had it a number of years, as he got older I added some news things. The tree on the front cover, was painted in oils by my Husband's Aunt.
At the present time we have our bathroom gutted, and have been busy with sweeping up more sawdust and plaster board, and haven't had as much time for my computer, but, hopefully, it will be done soon, and then all we will have to do is MORE painting. Our redoing, and fixing around our home will be at a stand still for awhile. The budget, (what budget?) is gone, and we are tired of the work and mess of fixing and remodeling...but it sure does make a difference when it is done.
This is really cute, and such a treasured keepsake!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute house! I love miniatures and have done a lot of them.
ReplyDeleteYou must be loving the rooms you have remodeled so far, it's like having a new house without having to move!
So glad that you reposted it! I collect Charming Tails, which are little mice figures...... this would be so adorable to showcase their antics. Smart idea with the bears, though.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Wow, this must have kept that little guy busy for hours when he was young. The painting of the tree is wonderful. What a treasure, hope it get's passed on to a new generation of little ones someday.
