House, house, house or really I should say “hooss hooss hooss hooss”. Everyday, L is desperate to get to her ‘house’ which is basically a blanket draped from the end of the bed to a shelf where it is held on by the weight of the books on top. It was perfect until she climbed on the bed and then tried to climb on the ‘roof’. Uh Oh! So I set about making her a proper house to play in. A Tipi house.
I did it all wrong; no pattern, limited material as I was recycling a duvet cover, no real idea of how I was actually going to make it. There were a few times I lost my patience, but the thought of seeing her face light up upon seeing it, kept me going. The end result is perfect for her, as long as you don’t look too closely at the way it was thrown together or the fact that at this point in time it’s slightly wonky (I blame the poles).
It even has its own flag with our favourite Hello Kitty and an L. Hooray! I am looking forward to lots of story times inside its snug pink walls.
