Fairy Log House Playscape

 This one might just be my favorite Playscape to date.

 I was dreaming up a new castle play mat when I saw this brown felt rolled like a log. An idea sparked.

This wool felt playscape is a landscape of play possibilities. 12 inches around, the hollow log house is all hand-stitched. Ivy is climbing up the side with shades of purple trumpet flowers blossoming. A stone path leads to the front entry. Mushrooms sprout up in the grass. A small vegetable garden is tucked away behind the hollow log house. It's whimsical.

Fairy House

 I was experimenting with my fairy houses and this is what I came up with.

I am working to create a new Fairy Land event and decided to get some inspiration.  Thank you, Pinterest.
