Tote Bag + Gingerbread Lane + Camp Snoopy

One more homemade gift complete! This tote bag was fun to make. I chose fabrics I thought would please the person receiving it...and included pockets at her request.

The beds are off the floor, on a wooden platform and include mattresses. There is a table with four chairs and a bench, as well as a wood stove inside for cool nights. The sides and roof of the oTENTik tents are like a strong regular tent material, but the floor is off the ground and looks like a wood floor. I thought these were a great idea for a different camping option. I imagine that you would still get the feeling of camping, but with a bit more cozy accommodations!
