(follow your heart)Going through all my old photos at the start of the week got me thinking about about tents. This was one of the things I really enjoyed doing as a kid, collecting all the umbrellas, sheets, towels, pegs and blankets to build these tents/huts. I really I think enjoyed the construction of them more then anything. And anyway they were usually built in the summer holidays and once built they would be too hot to play in (until we could sleep in them at night). So I am going to start a series on tents...

I love tents too!
My dad would set up the tent in the back yard to air it out before we went camping, and my sisters and I would play house in it.
We'd also like to make little tents out of sheets and pillows and chairs, indoors, when it was rainy outside.
Can't wait to see what your new work will look like!
Did you make your tent over the Hill's hoist? We would drag out mattresses and lie in the shade on a New Zealand summer's day or burn to a frazzle...dang that sun damage...
I love her and the tent. We always used to go camping - we went to Snell's Beach every summer holiday as my cousin owned some land there and let us camp on it. We had a large canvas tent and went all over the North Island camping. Good times. (Though in hindsight, probably not much fun for mum, still having to cook etc. for husband and 6 kids)
i too love tents....a tiny bit of shelter which can spark the imagination. good luck finding the arm (i'm always losing party hats and crowns).
she is so cute ! I think she looks just like you :)

I will be interested to see what my new tent works will look like too... : ) I don't think I ever went real live camping as a kid, just backyard stuff.

Yes that NZ summer sun has a lot to answer for. We used to sit on bean bags in the back garden on a summers night and watch the stars.

Poor mums often get the raw end of the deal : ) good to have nice memories like that. We did a lot of traveling around NZ as kids too.

Thanks, I still haven't found the arm, I am hoping I haven't accidently thrown it in the bin!
