my creative space: a little house

I finally got my hands on a copy of the book "Scandinavian Stitches" by Kajsa Wikman, from our local library.
I've seen this book on lots of blogs and it is just gorgeous with heaps of cute projects, my favourite being the little houses.  I was even lucky enough to receive a house from Leonie as part of the kiwi christmas ornament swap which is now on my notice board in my craft space.
So I made a little house for my kitchen, just a bit bigger than the one in the book.
Kajsa's blog is so beautiful and inspiring too- check it out here http://syko.typepad.com/, her facebook page here www.facebook.com/sykodesign and take a look at some of the things in her Etsy shop- how cute is this little village!
 My village - a collection of 10 soft houses

Visiting from our creative spaces, I just had to check this out! The house is so adorable, I love your choice of fabrics! I knew about Kajsa's etsy shop but wasn't aware there was also a book filled with her amazing creations!

Ooh I just got this book from the book depository. Been dying to make something but haven't had the time. Going to try and whip something up next week though. Not sure how I will go with the free motion machine stuff though!
