DIY tent

They love snuggling in their tent together :) Story gets the privilege of sleeping on her mattress in the tent. Having three kiddos in a room is do-able! I like hearing them talk before they sleep. I like singing their individual hymns to them while the others listen.

The tent is pretty self explanatory. There's tons of DIY tents out there. One thing I did differently, is I crazy glued pieces of rubber band (that I cut into strips) onto the ends of the wood polls so they wouldn't slip. I haven't sewed a particular fabric together yet. Still thinking-- I'd like the kids to draw their own house, so we'll see what we come up with. The sheet is supported onto the polls with big (really big) paper clips in the mean time :)

DIY: Poncho

Being on a budget sometimes pushes me to make things that are easy. I'm not the greatest seamstress but when something looks easy, I just gotta try. I made this non sew poncho. I'm not a fan of the fabric design, but I just needed something to try my idea out on. It turned out good. I'll have to try again with a likable design.
