a barn and a stable for christmas

We took a break from basement work in December and worked on a little handmade toy project for the kids.  A barn for AJ, a stable for Hannah.  When we came up with the idea to make a gift for each of them we knew right away that AJ needed a barn.  It was a little more difficult to decide what to do for Hannah; originally we thought maybe dollhouse but the idea didn't seem to fit.  Then totally out of the blue she told me that she would like "some horses and fences and stuff to play with."  The stable idea was born!  It was fun to work together to design coordinating pieces and also use up some of that scrap wood in the garage.  So happy with the result and the kids were thrilled!
