Under Table Cubby House
 
6 Attachment(s)
I have finally finished the under table cubby I have been making for my grandkids. DH and I took it over to them yesterday and wow did they love it.

The front of the cubby has peek-a-boo windows, a roll up door, flower gardens and a mail box (pocket type) that they can post letters in.

One end has the vegie patch with pickable carrots, tomatoes and fruit. It didn't take long for little hands to pick most of the fruit.

The other end has a pony with a wonderful piece of barn bling that I knew would appeal to Miss 3.

The back has a mini version of their backyard pond and a portrait of their hand tame pet rainbow lorikeet.

Way to go Grandma! What a fun gift!!

Fantastic! What an excellent idea, will keep them amused for hours.

ChrisDee 08-30-2015 07:54 PM

Wow, what a great gift. They will have hours of fun with that. That had to have been a lot of work involving many hours. What a wonderful Grandma you are.

Ditto to what everybody else said! What a fun project. Does it cover a standard size table? It seems to be larger than a card table size.

sewbizgirl 08-30-2015 08:35 PM

Oh my gosh! You are the BEST Grandma, ever!

It is a dining table with the extension piece in, so it ended up quite long. The kids have a large play room and the table sits in the middle of it with plenty of room around it.

Wow just beautiful! They are sure to love it for a long time. Way to go!!

Deecee 08-30-2015 11:39 PM

Owlie I had a wonderful time doing it.

busy fingers 08-30-2015 11:54 PM

You are the best grandma. Just look at those gorgeous smiles.

Monale 08-31-2015 02:25 AM

I bet they want to sleep under that table now ;) What a great gift!

Oh My Gosh!!!!! That is just the best!!!! No wonder it took you so long to make it. You are a " Jen u wine" artiste!! :D

giquilt 08-31-2015 03:28 AM

This is great! Love the pickable veggies and fruit. Kudos to grandmother.

Reminds me of one I made for my kids when they were small. I used panels and upholstery fabric to depict a jungle, barn and space. Not near as nice as yours.

quiltin-nannie 08-31-2015 04:03 AM

Oh, how fun is that! Those little ones will always remember the playhouse grandma made! Beautiful!

Deecee 08-31-2015 04:12 AM

Thanks for all the lovely comments ladies.

I hope the kidlets get years of fun out of the cubby.

tucsonquilter 08-31-2015 05:35 AM

Beautiful and what fun for the grandkiddies!

Tink's Mom 08-31-2015 05:57 AM

Oh, Deecee!!! No wonder the kiddos love it!
You did a wonderful job, I can't believe the details...what a great grand mum you are!!!
They will remember the hours of joy they had playing in it.

Auntevie 08-31-2015 06:12 AM

I LOVE all the details! I made one that used a PVC frame and I wish I had added the pick-able fruit and garden! So CUTE and FUN!!!

marilynr 08-31-2015 06:31 AM

Your Cubby House is just adorable. I just made one for a friend's daycare & her children just loved it too. It was hard for me to leave it with her! But I do not have any little grandchildren any more. Wish I could post a picture.
A lot of work but worth every minute; I enjoyed doing it.

Marsh 08-31-2015 01:02 PM

Deecee - you did it girl. It is wonderful!!!!

tessagin 08-31-2015 01:37 PM

I have never seen anything like this before. Amazing! All positive, cute, adjectives for kiddos I am unable to thing of right now. A.K.A beyond words.

Judith1005 08-31-2015 03:49 PM

DeeCee, omgoodness, It is fabulous!! It is a lot bigger then I expected it to be. I just know the little's are going to have so much fun playing in it.

DebbieJJ 09-01-2015 02:40 AM

WOW......what fun they'll have!:thumbup:

zennia 09-01-2015 02:56 AM

carolynjo 09-01-2015 05:59 AM

Adorable! They will have hours of fun using this creatively done cubby. They are so lucky to have such a wonderful grandma!

Pam S 09-01-2015 08:41 AM

How cute! What a special grandma you are.

needles3thread 09-01-2015 08:49 AM

Those grandkids are surely loved! It's a work of art & love.

ManiacQuilter2 09-01-2015 08:49 AM

That is so cute. When I was a kid, we were delighted with plain bed sheets.

Jeanne S 09-01-2015 10:19 AM

Wow, you are so creative and talented! You have created many happy memories with that clubhouse!!

QUILTNMO 09-01-2015 01:13 PM

very cute!!!

IBQUILTIN 09-01-2015 02:03 PM

That is so far beyond cute!!!!! I have seen them for card tables, but yours is so much bigger. I am sure you must have had as much fun designing and making this as the kids are having playing in it. Great job Grandma, they won't forget this one

mike'sgirl 09-01-2015 06:30 PM

That looks like an incredible amount of work. It's adorable.

BETTY62 09-01-2015 09:38 PM

That's so cute.

regm 09-04-2015 12:27 PM

I can't imagine the time you spent on this. It's beautiful. What a treasure for grandkids.
