Our Mountain Retreat

Spring is looming and so is our desire to be camping in the mountains once again. Many plans have been spoken of over warm spiced honey mead and are set in motion for long weekends away in the alpine back country. Today I started sewing our hide-away out of vintage bedspreads and curtains. Sooooo much more fabric is needed than I first thought, hence a trip to Savers tomorrow to finish off my first shelter which was so inspired by this fabulous photo from Anna's blog over at http://www.lamaisondannag.blogspot.com/


Of course one won't suffice as Avy will need one for herself and her "merry magnolias" as well, but we have
figured out all of the camping gear can easily all fit into the car now as these fold into absolutely almost nothing and as for Ky he is a star at making up his "bivvy" so is all sorted.
We have done a test run at home and have decided a little velcro may be in order to keep out the creepy crawlies and slitheries! Stay tuned......
