What a great twist on this theme! I love the color and whimsy of it. It's a very happy shelter!

She would have loved this shelter. When I saw your title on the dashboard, I was very curious about what you had done!! This is delicious and wouldn't it be fun to find a shelter like this after a long hike. I love the closeup of your embellishments and stitching.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292762162661584206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-82782363219336789762008-10-01T11:23:00.000-07:002008-10-01T11:23:00.000-07:00This is great!

Or are they cut just perfectly to fit together. Amazing. I really like the gold edge. Perfect solution. I love all the wire too. So fun.<BR/><BR/>Funny that you mentioned not wanting to work in gray and brown. That's exactly what I did!Deborah Boscherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630878222793439712noreply@blogger.com
