I haven't spent as much time in my sewing studio recently as I would've liked, as we've been renovating our kitchen and dining room. As we've had an abundance of cardboard sheets (from new kitchen units) I decided to get crafty, and armed with a chalk pen, some super strength sticky tape and my imagination, I set about making a gingerbread playhouse for my little grandson...

...an old rotary cutter, a cutting mat and a selection of my quilting rulers were the perfect tools for drawing and cutting out both square and round windows and a pretty door that opens. Once the main part of the house had been put together and the windows cut out, I used a chalk pen to draw lots of culiques and swirls and hearts around the windows...

...and even more curliques and swirls and hearts were drawn on both the front and the back of the gingerbread house. This was such a fun project to make, and my little grandson absolutely loved it, although he wasn't too keen on letting the dog sit inside the house with him! Hopefully he'll have lots of fun and games playing in here during the festive period.
