When I was little I spent hours building the perfect tent. It would only consist of about three or four bed sheets, but I thought we were pros at making them. This painting is a work in progress with that playful tent memory in mind. I hope to be finished with it by next week.
Do you have wonderful weekend plans ahead? We've been under the weather over here, so it'll be recouping time for us.
LOVE the colours and you remind me of my youngest he likes making tents out of sheets too :)
ReplyDeleteHe does? I love that! My kids loved making tents too and having sheets draped everywhere brought back happy memories for me.
DeleteWhat a wonderful memory - I remember making tents out of sheets too! This looks wonderfully whimsical and I'll look forward to seeing it progress.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, wasn't it? Kind of makes me wanna build one again. :)
DeleteI hope you feel better soon. We used to make tents out of sheets as well, and now my children do, though when my daughter cut a great big hole out of one of our sheets to make a window I nearly had a heart attack!! I always stress no scissors now. :)
ReplyDeleteOh no, Natasha! haha Well, at least she had good vision.
DeleteAaah sweet memories. Loving your WIP Catherine. Enjoy the weekend, happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeleteSweet indeed! :)
DeleteLove your sweet little tent...and it's complementary combinations of orange and blues.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon.

Happy PPF!!

I love the oranges and blues too, but I think it needs a little more brightness (you know me and my bright colors) so that will be happening shortly. :) Thanks for the well wishes, we're slowly getting better.
Deleteadorable! i want a little reading tent like that! xo
ReplyDeleteReading tent...I like the sound of that! :)
DeleteOh, this brings back memories. My sisters and I probably spent half our childhoods doing the same thing. Are you going to fill it with stuffed animals too?
ReplyDeleteStuffed animals are a brilliant idea! Thanks. :)
DeleteI can't tell you how many of those tents I made when I was little. Love the picture! And I hope you feel better soon. :(
ReplyDeleteThanks sweet Janet. Doesn't tent-making bring back the happiest memories?
DeleteTents when I was little led me to a lifetime of outdoor activities and travel. Great memories.
ReplyDeleteI love that your tent-making led to a life-long passion! That's so cool, JJ.
DeleteToo sweet, I love that you are capturing a childhood Memory in this way. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how one memory can open up a world of others. :)
Deletegreat little tent... I used to make one as i had the bottom bunk for many years... always great fun to hide away...xx
ReplyDeleteMy girls had bunk beds and there were always blankets hanging from the top to create a tent haven. :)
Deleteyour tent looks really inviting. So fun and cozy. Happy PPF
ReplyDelete"Fun and cozy" are two of the best words you could've said about it! Thanks Marji. :)
Deletegreat tent! i remember loving the feeling of being hidden away right out in the open when we built tents as kids.
ReplyDeletehope you have a relaxing and recuperative weekend!
Oh me too, Molly! Almost as good as Harry Potter's invisibility cloak. :D
DeleteSweet, this will be such a cool finished piece...can't wait!! Awesome idea! Who doesn't remember making tents...so fun!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
