take-a-long pony house … ♥

Raising up Rubies

we are obsessed
…
with what you ask?
chevron?
s’mores?
mason jars?
no.
my little ponies
yes.
that’s what i said.
my little ponies 




yes … these cutie patootie ponies!
from top left …
rareity ~ rainbow dash ~ pinkie pie ~ apple jack ~ twilight sparkle ~ fluttershy
(it’s way cuter when it’s a little girl, with a little girl voice who’s telling you all their names 🙂
have all become official members of our household
aren’t they so cute!?
(ok, i’m totally reliving my childhood)


so, it all started a couple weeks ago 
when my girlfriend and her 2 girls came over for a play date
and they brought their my little ponies …
 besides lovin’ the my little pony cartoon
they wanted to use some of their “spending money” on ponies…oy

we’re even going to a my little pony birthday party this weekend 
(yes it’s for the little girl who started this whole thing 🙂
so i decided to make a house for my girls to keep their ponies in 
and make another for the upcoming party 
(could i have said ponies one. more. time.)


i started off with an unfinished box from Hobby Lobby




and a few things


plus some more stuff as i went along 🙂

i used scrapbook paper & mod podge to cover the box
then finished off the seams with bias tape


lace trim around the opening with some buttons just makes it more girlie 🙂

using some clipart and tracing paper i made a horse cameo on the front of the box

added some embellishment 🙂

on the back, i wove some ribbon through these little wooden fences i found at Joann’s 


glued the ends and used a small clothespin to secure the “gate”


they can open and close it when the ponies want to play in the pasture 🙂


the inside is so fun!
a little printed felt (also from HL)
some scraps of ribbon, lace and burlap made up the buntings, rosettes and the little circle rug
(see how i make the rosettes here)


these are the stowaways in the little basket for the birthday girl ♥





this is the first house i made for my girls
it was much more fun the second time around when i had everything figured out 🙂


love handmade toys … don’t you? ♥


i’m hoping to have one of these pony houses in the shop on Monday for the grand opening

don’t forget to come back Monday for the giveaway 
and to check out all the cuteness in my etsy shop! 
it’s gonna be a fun fun day!
can’t wait!


much love ♥

  3. Jaime, this is darling! I was so excited when you mentioned on IG that you would be blogging about it. My favorite feature is the folding “fence” on the back that is woven with ribbon. Genius idea! You ROCK!!! I am inspired by your creativity today. Thanks!

  17. Amen to that, Proverbs 31 is great, I also love Titus 2 That is a good role model!!! We are raising up these little ones in such trying times. I praise God for your talent and magnify His Holy Name for the fact you use His word in your blogs and shops to God be all the glory and praise!!!

  21. Oh my word . . . I have a 5 year old who is OBSESSED with the ponies. I actually scoured ebay for one of those old pony carrying cases that looks like a stable so she had a place to put them, but now that I see your post I SHOULD HAVE MADE HER ONE MYSELF! Oh well . . . they're starting to outgrow their stable. Maybe they need a new play place . . . 🙂

  24. This is so cute! My 3 year old daughter would love this. As she loves her little tin lunch box… I can just see the look in her eyes if she were to open a box like this on Christmas. You should sell these in your shop! (I just found your blog, and i can't leave 😉 ) Blessings to you!
