PC dollhouse

It has been awhile since I posted here. I have been working on miniatures a lot lately so my other blog has had frequent updates, while this one has fallen silent. I am posting this on both though because I have gotten the hallway to the plastic canvas dollhouse sewn together, all except attachin the front door. I was going to do it last night but i couldn't find my grey yarn or understand the instructions. I glanced at them this morning and I must really have been tired because they were no longer gibberish.

The view through the front door, of course the door isn't attached yet.

And that is Elora's favorite part, the stairs. It is amazing how sturdy this feels once it is all sewn together. You can see the  pattern book under this with it's pages all a mess. I haven't been rough with the book but all the pages I have finished have fallen out. The rest of the book is still held together. I did buy it used and the glue felt a bit brittle so I think that has more to do with it than me being destructive.

In a way I feel guilty about this project. My son watches me working on this, knowing it is for his sister. He oohs and ahs along with her over each new part and is excited to see it come together. The guilt part comes in that I have nothing to make him. When this is finished and I give it to her I would like to have something I can give to him that I made just for him. Any suggestions out there? I thought maybe a plastic canvas car carry case but I can't seem to find a pattern for one that I like and think he'd like. The one I did find hangs on the wall but I want one he can carry around with him. Or maybe something not plastic canvas, I'm not sure..
