I have just had the morning from hell trying to whip up a teepee for Busy. Breathe. Slowly.
I found a very straight forward tutorial, I will not link too the post because I would like to ask permission first and she would see how much I bastardised her simple and lovely tutorial... seriously I don't know what I did wrong- obviously my measurements were way out or something but it will have to do ... there has been a lot of swearing and sweating and general grumpiness over here ... Busy better appreciate the pain this has caused me!! ( not like yesterday when I bought her the most awesome purple coat that I loved when it was $70 but no way- I got it yesterday for $20-woot woot) she said " I don't like it" ( lucky I got a bigger size she can wear it next year when hopefully she may "like it" aarrrggghh!!!)
But the most shocking thing to come from all this teepee business is that when I went to The Light Of Spot yesterday for teepee supplies and I found a very helpful woman - called Betty-who was great in suggesting different things and ended up saving me $20!!! I know. Someone helpful at said shop. Shocking. I rang her manager this morning to pass on my compliments . Thanks Betty- Employee of the Year!
sorry for dodgy photo... just can't take a nice photo of it yet...
When they are 23 and we have words with them over a bottle of Shiraz, these daughters of ours will appreciate us...
ReplyDeleteuntil then...
we'll just have to appreciate each other.
What a brilliant tee-pee Mum.
Thanks for building it.

ReplyDeleteIt turned out really well. You should give the kids safe decorating implements and indulge in a little nap...lol
