A crafty little atelier in a grey city

a hideout of her own…

November 14, 2012

Just a quick note today – I am still sick. Very soon, when I feel normal again, I’m making K a little tee pee/hideout. I hope I can get it done before Christmas. I’m inspired by these above and want one for myself. I especially love the very plain white one with the sheepskin (of course). Who doesn’t love a nifty enclosure where you can gather all your petite treasures and prized books for a super secret siesta?

    Oh Sanae, I hope you feel better soon! My husband and I have been talking about creating a tent for Lala and I can’t wait to see what you create!

    Sad you’re not feeling well:( May the icky-ness pass soon and you’re feeling much better:)
    I made my daughter a teepee last year for Christmas using yards and yards of IKEA fabric . . . not nearly as much fun as garment sewing. I commend you on your intentions – may they result in a beautiful place for your daughter to call her own:)

      Cheers to icky-ness passing! I think I’m almost there. IKEA fabric is such a good idea – I believe they have some cute stripey fabric….hmmmm ideas….

The holidays are upon us!! 🎄🎁 I’ve posted The holidays are upon us!! 🎄🎁 I’ve posted this year’s free printable holiday tags on my blog - link in bio! Can you believe I’ve been creating these printable tags for over 10 years?? This year I included outtake illustrations from my book SHIBUI so these tags and bookmarks could be used for gifts all year round. I also painted a few holiday-ish ones too! Enjoy, and have a lovely and celebratory season! I’m taking my usual winter social media break, and I’ll see you back here in 2026 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
