Teepee Time!

Nope, not that TP.
This Teepee. 

 
It's simple and classic and ready for so many adventures!  I love the simplicity and sturdiness of this design.  Although it's tall and measures 4 square feet on the inside, it's easy to fold up and lean in a corner or closet when not in use.  It'd be perfect for cooped up windy days in Casper !  I finished all the inside seams with bias binding, so it looks nice and tidy inside, as well.  It would be fun to drop a strand of white christmas lights inside and clip them around to the seams with clothespins or something!  In fact, I should do that for my next photo session....
Here are a few more perspectives
Although these are for sale, the baby nephew is not included!

Choose your weapon

Every day, my mind swims with things I should do, rooms or corners I should clean, and chores I have yet to accomplish.  My mind swims so much that, before I know it, I've crossed the english channel and have nothing to show for it!  (what does that even mean?  I have no idea)  So, in an effort to hold myself accountable, I'm going to occasionally do something called "choose your weapon."  The name comes from a show my husband, Hunter, watches on the outdoor channel named the same or something similar, where the hosts choose a favorite gun for a certain hunting situation and then test it out in different scenarios to show why it's better or best.  Anyway.  I digress.  In my personal, household "choose your weapon" challenge, I'm going to choose a weapon- screwdriver, WD-40, drill, caulk, etc. and go around the house for 20 minutes with my weapon fixing the myriad small, seemingly insignificant things that need fixing that nag at my mind a million times a week that I never just go FIX ALREADY.  Sound good?  Ok.  So, once in a while, I'll be choosing a weapon and letting you know what I get done!
