The Neighborhood Is Growing


As I was making these house blocks today I wondered, " Why are these so much fun to do?"
Any thoughts?
(For me I think it reminds me of those summers long, long ago
when I used to amuse myself by designing clothes for paper dolls!)

That's a good question. But every time I think of sewing house blocks it does seem fun. Glad you all are enjoying it. I seriously love these blocks.

Those are wonderful, Margaret! I particualrly love the trees! I think you're right, they makes us feel like a child again, drawing cute little pictures and cutting out!

These are so great. THe last one looks like modern houses built in Tokyo. You can't build out only up.
From one paper doll clothes designer to another.
