Camping in style!!!

I caught my kids playing in the bunkbed...  i walked in to, "shhhh hide hide, mommy is coming". Obviously i couldn't find them any wheres!!! And then BOO!!! Some ferrell children popped out from the very inconspicuous tent made from a cowboy quilt, a LSU colored logcabin quilt, and red and yellow sheets----- were it a snake it would have bit me hehe

And idea was spawned... and not shared with husband until Jo Anns Coupon commotion mailer came into being!!! And then it was off to the forbidden store in the middle of some more renovations >_>

But before i get into the real awesome sauce, here are some more quilts i have recently made!

A quilt i made from scraps for the neighbors new grand daughter!

This is the quilt for Addison, my new niece!! It did not turn out how i had wanted it to, i changed some things up half way through, and it is still cute just not FANTASTIC, and isn't that what we all strive for in our quilts!

And the tent... Pierce and his pal Jason picked out Mossy oak for the tent(the most expensive camouflage there was at the store) and then i began construction.

First i made a bed skirt type contraption to go under the mattress of the top bunk... it has zippers on three sides, the side of the bed, the headboard side, and the foot of the bed. Then i zipped the second half of the zippers onto the hidden bed skirt contraption, and pined the material how i wanted it onto the zipper!!

Then i surged EVERYTHING, the sides the door the zipper and some ties---- my serger was smelling of burning oil by the time i was done!! I added the ties and zipped the tent into place!!!

THEY LOVE IT!!! Now it is lord of the flies all day every day. Every time i walk in "shhhhh, hide,hide its mommy"

Speaking of beds/hiding i found pictures of rivers tooth fairy experience!

While at preschool she slipped on a wet floor and broke her front tooth, we had to have it removed about two weeks later, when we decided it wasnt going to fall out on its own(like the dentist expected it would, really we were hoping to not have to have surgery)

But it was very tiny surgery and here she is shortly after having it removed, unable to smile because of the Novocaine

She swore up and down that she saw the tooth fairy,
and since we didnt believe her ;) she drew us a picture!

She hid it under the pillow and got a
dollar bill flutterby from the Tooth Fairy

Miss thang has recently found said tooth, in daddys beds side drawer...  It is quite apparent that daddy wanted to keep rivers first tooth for sentimental reasons, so he had to pay the hard bargaining fairy some big bucks to get said tooth back!
