Lisa_F Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Melanie, The circus wagon is awesome! I love all the little details - from the clown face paint on the table to the vintage circus posters - they really set the tone for the scene! Did you crochet the blanket on the bed & the throw pillows on the chairs? those are wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakyshaky Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yes I made the blankets, pillows and rug. The green chairs and table are the ones that came with the kit. I also made the hat rack, bed, and trunk. The axles and hitch took a while because I have never had any experience with horses and their gear. :welcome: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathieB Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 What a great presentation! I love all of the hand made details. You have a great eye and the ability to follow through ... what talent! I especially like that you used the decorations from the first birthday cake. Now that's really special. :welcome: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokelly Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Very nice. Great idea. I was going to enter the contest, but just couldn't get the energy to do it, what with me rehabing one house to give my neice for Christmas and another house needing to be finished. My idea was to do a bookmobile. Maybe someday I'll build it. To those who don't know what a bookmobile is, it's a trailer or bus/van that is a mobile library. They go to rural areas in the summer for kids to get books. My local school district has one. I remember when I was little walking up to the bus stop and waiting for the bookmobile to come so I could get check books out. It still makes it's weekly trips around the area.

Shakyshaky Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Thank you! I have plans for another smaller cage/trailer for the ape. I bought metal wheels for the travel trailer but they were way to small so I have to use them on something right? :yikes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 My idea was to do a bookmobile. What a great idea! Our local library had a chance to buy a used bookmobile recently, but the board didn't act quickly enough. With the little towns scattered around this county, a bookmobile would be a real asset.
