Apparently half term week is Den Building week according to these lovely ladies and cool mama's! (Emma & Cathy).
Of course we had to join in.
It's Thursday, the sun has gone in this afternoon and their is a nip in the air.
After being to the park with friends this morning and had a huge run around in the sunshine...we headed home to some lego building in the den.
I used our small 1950's formica kitchen table.
A hippy throw I bought whilst travelling in Thailand.
A crochet blanket that Grandma made for Charlie as a baby.
The Ikea Cot duvet from Charlie's cot as a baby - which Rufus now has on his bed as an extra blanket.
A couple of big floor cushions.
A broom handle.
And of course fairy lights.
Let the swallows and amazons adventure begin.
If you want join in ...pop on over to either Cathy's or Emma's blog for the lowdown.

I LOVED a good den when I was growing up...shame Im too big now to fit! It looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteNah! Never too big. I squeezed in there last night and read a story to the boys. It was soo warm and cosy. x
DeleteCool den - Finn has had his up for three days now. fairy lights are the way to go!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, yes I agree, Fairy lights do give it a secret den quality. Ours came down today though... we needed to eat off the table!
DeleteYou are clearly a den master! Fairy lights?! Genius! I love swallows and amazons, all that talk of bloomers and tacking.
ReplyDeleteHi Abigail! No not a master, a cheat really. I just draped the throw over it and ta dah instant den!
DeleteI made a 'peppa pig' den yesterday for my daughter Iris. Can't beat a den especially on a rainy cold day!
ReplyDeleteOoo a peppa pig den! Sounds amazing! Den's are the way to go on february half term week!
DeleteThat looks like a lot of fun :-)
ReplyDeleteHi, yes total fun. But sadly it came down today. We needed to eat our tea off the table. We managed to have pizza for tea last night in there, plus toast for breakfast. But pasta in the den was a no. So no more den for now.
DeleteAwww, that's very snug, and love the fairy lights. Hope you're having a good half-term. I popped into Cordial and Grace to say hello this week but it was your day off! Would love to catch up soon. x
ReplyDeleteThank you Cathy. Not a patch on your wonderful crochet creation! Oh shame I missed you! Would be great to catch up for a coffee and a natter very soon! x
