Camp Barbie

This year Barbie and Ken came camping with us. My dad made the deck chair for me as a child some 35 years ago! I thought it was time to add to it and make the tent and sleeping bag for my daughter's dolls. Nothing like having some left over fabric and ribbons to fiddle into something grand!

P.S. My 79 year old father is currently making Ella a picnic table to add to her camping set. I'll post a picture once it's completed.

Fence Building

Crafting has been on the back burner this summer in lieu of building a backyard fence and other domestic duties. Though as Murray hammered in the bracing there was little for me to do, so I did get to work on making a tent and sleeping bag for Ella's barbie dolls!

It was all hands on deck building the fence and at the end of the weekend we all felt quite proud of ourselves.
