a tree house, a free house, a secret you and me house

I'm building a tree house... for a doll... that I don't even have yet.

I'm building it "Borrowers" style, collecting things from around my house, garage, yard and studio to create it. I'm not even sure I've read The Borrowers. But I'll do that soon. promise.

I'm building it because I've been thinking about doing this for years.

I'm building it because I can and it makes sense to me to do it.

Here's my drawing that inspired me to actually build it, not just stitch it on fabric, which is what I originally though after I'd do after I created the drawing :

Have you read the Shel Silverstein poem about the treehouse?

Tree House
A tree house, a free house,
A secret you and me house,
A high up in the leafy branches
Cozy as can be house.

A street house, a neat house,
Be sure and wipe your feet house
Is not my kind of house at all--
Let's go live in a tree house.
-Shel Silverstein

Lagoona Blue

Lagoona and I gave her a boil perm recently. After quite a bit of research, I was convinced I could do it and not melt her hair.
It turned out awesome.
Meanwhile, John thought I was a little nuts for perming a doll's hair. Oh well; he's a boy. What does he know?! ;)
