In a normal house you would have a garage or shed to do this in. :)

I’m looking forward to bringing home the doll house that belonged to my mother. I played with it as a girl. My grandfather made it for her, it is a replica of the house she grew up in. I’m planning on waiting another couple of years, I think the kids would be a bit too rough on it yet.

Not everyone has such a good relationship with their parents. It’s great you and your daughter have that. I would have loved to have done something like that with my dad.

It’s looking better each post. I can’t wait to see the end result. Are you going to make people for the house as well?

I think not everyone has the creativity that you do!

I’m kind of wondering if this doll house will turn out like the swingset my dad built with/for my son when he was little. My son had more fun building the swingset then he did playing with it!

That is really coming along great! I really dig the stained glass style windows. It’s great that you spend time doing constructive things with your daughter. This project reminds me of the fun I had with my dad growing up. It’s strange how society has changed since I was a kid. I never even see kids playing out in the yard anymore. Sad really. Anyway, can’t wait to see the finished product!

That sounds really cool! Have you posted pictures of it anywhere?

We recently took the time – as a family – to build a military play table, complete with scenery and realistic paint. At first the 6-year-old was just setting up his military men/equipment, but now we’ve recently started playing a less-complex version of 40K (the role-playing war game that my SO used to be involved with). It’s fun and it was a manageable project. So you aren’t the only one, don’t be sad! But I think what you are doing is very cool! :)
