Greetings to all...

On a recent stroll through Hobby Lobby, I saw these premade 2" x 4" canvases...wait!...these are the same size as the ones I make for Ten Cent City Houses...had to get a couple packages...real timesavers...

Greetings to all…

Just a quick heads up…there will be a new Ten Cent City house very soon…stay tuned…
And thanks to all who have followed the topic and downloaded the many free patterns…hopefully there will be 500,000 views by the end of the year…

My very best regards…

After a dry spell of building "Ten Cent City" houses, I finally found a subject...mine has been greatly reduced in size from the original...plus the windows have been simplified...I'll post a picture of the image that inspired my version in a few days...

The pattern is in the PDF below the work-in-progress pictures...stay tuned for a picture of my finished piece...

UPDATE...7/10/2024...

Here is the vintage original I used as inspiration for my much smaller Ten Cent City project...I didn't copy the roofline or use the same window cutouts...

UPDATE...4/28/2025...

Greetings to all...

After a creative drought, I found a suitable subject for another Ten Cent City house...it has the look that defines a storybook house in my mind...a low slope roofline (especially on one side), tiny windows and chunky chimney...like all the other Ten Cent City houses, it sits on a 2" x 4" double thick cardboard base...

The pattern is in the PDF below the work-in-progress photo...I'll post a picture of the completed house later...stay tuned...
