A Home for their Dolls

When Mary Kate went to visit Gramma in California, she got busy in the workshop with Mr. Merle. In fact, the day she got there I received a phone call about the girls' doll measurements, etc.


This is what was eventually sent back to our home.

Thank you, Merle!
You have no idea how much ALL the kids love this house.


Now the girls' dolls have a home of their very own.


They can even go on a picnic the girls prepared for them.


The basket is packed with meat & cheese as well as avocado & tomato sandwiches (that Kathleen crocheted).


Take a looksie inside.


Kathleen made a bedside table with a vase.

Merle added such nice homey touches such as clothes hooks,


picture frames, a door sign, and flower boxes.


Jimmer thought that the house should have protection from the vast wilderness--our game room--so oftentimes, Chimpy sits with this (cardboard) rifle on the chair Jimmer made for the dollhouse. Jimmer wants to put hooks above the door to hold the rifle...just like Pa did.


A cozy little home.
