Sure looks plain after seeing all the embroidery and embellishments on all of the others. I'll have to see about adding some details and I think I'll add a border to bring it up to 12 inches.

Here is my house for February. Did anyone have trouble with the porch roof? I did, I don't know what I did wrong, but it is fixed now. This was fun to do. I can't wait until next month!!
I just realized when I posted this picture the "apples" on the tree made a face!! How funny! I didn't plan to do that.

Love your house! I've been watching everyone get theirs put together, so I'm kind of cheating. The pattern has so many pieces that I find it a little confusing. I had printed off 2 copies of the templates, so last night I marked one set of the template pieces with their template letter (A, B, and C) the I cut them apart and taped and fitted them together, so I could see where everything went. I plan on starting later today. We are iced in anyway, so I will put my time to good use!
