I’d like to share a lovely blog I have just found out about, it is called Room To Bloom and is the findings of a lovely children’s interior designer called Ursula, she contacted me to let me know Moozle had been blogged (thanks again!) and I certainly do like being on such a lovely blog. Ursula has done the same as me but the other way around… she has moved from Holland to the UK. Above is a little peak at some of Ursula’s design work, check out her site to see more.
And what a beauty it is! Thanks to Yvonne for sending this in to me, I do love a good customer photo. I love the way you have customised this with the super padded cushion, bunting and flags – and that cloud and Japanese patchwork bauble are gorgeous, what a lucky little girl (who looks like she has a great wardrobe too), super stuff!

A certain small boy who lives around here allowed me to photograph his teddy with this teepee I finished this morning – his hand is just out of shot sweeping in to grasp it back quickly! This play teepee tent was a custom order but you can order a similar one here, just state the name or word you would like on the notes section of the order form.
Two lovely new kids play teepee designs with lollipop flowers, all finished and ready to be snapped up on the Etsy page. The light was pretty bad when I took the photos yesterday (sorry about that) and the kids wanted to get in them so I had to put their tent up (in the background of the 2nd pic down on the left) just so I could photograph them, they are actually both snuggled up in the teepee tent but you can’t see them underneath all of the crochet blankets and teddies in there. I might have to take some better photos if I get time, the sun has been shining today! Spring is coming which is why I wanted to make these flowers grow! I hope you like them.
I finally finished Dexter’s cot bumper at the weekend, it has been hanging around my desk for a few weeks now waiting for me to find 20 minutes here, 20 minutes there in between sewing up the play teepees, and this is the result (sorry about the grainy photos, the light was fading), I hope the fox doesn’t scare Dexter, it doesn’t seem to.
The lion cushion is by my friend Helen Rawlinson, the tall fox is called Mr. Morris and was a birthday gift form my lovely friend the very talented graphic designer Anna Kortekass, the folk guitar is an Etsy find by June Craft and the very smart looking knitted teddy in the school uniform was a gift my friend and textile designer Rachael Howard found at a craft fair. You can check out some gorgeous pics of Rae’s inspiring home over on Helen‘s super blog here.
Here’s a pic of the vintage Animals teepee tent I’ve been working on this week, the customer wanted some coordinating bunting to go with it saying GIRAFFES. You’ll have to have to check out the Flickr page to see the pics of Dexie looking non to happy about being told he couldn’t take his milk into the tent, poor chap!
I added the baby elephant since Mumba was born at Atris Zoo here in Amsterdam, last summer.
Well, Dolly (aged 4 and a half and a little bit more) got into bed on Sunday morning for a cuddle and announced that she was going to mop the floors and clean the windows to make the place look really pretty (which was a bit of a shock, but glad to know the thought was there, I must be rubbing off on her), anyways… for one reason or another (I blame the hail clouds obscuring the Spring-cleaning-sunshine and dampening our good intentions) we made these funny bunnies instead.
Ok, so I am pretty sure the bunting bug I caught last week is finally on it’s way out, I just couldn’t resist making this rather Dutch version for my friend’s new baby, I’m quite excited about giving it to her over coffee tomorrow morning. I can’t decide whether to list bunting on my Moozle and Etsy sites or not, maybe I’ll just make some special buntings to go with special teepee tents – you’d better email and hassle me if you want some!
The cat print is by Ingela P Arrhenius and the rabbit with the mustache is by Andrew Bannecker you can see these plus some other illustrative delights over on my Pinterest illustration board, there are some real gems on there so go and check it out.
I seem to have caught some kind of bunting bug this week – here’s some I made with some over runs of the printed teepee tent panels – would go great with the puddle grey teepee - if only they weren’t all sold out at the moment – doh!
The fab 1960′s wooden jigsaw puzzle board is for sale on Moozle here. The lovely boy and girl illustrations in the bottom left picture were gifts from my very talented friend, British illustrator Tracy Worral.
This new teepee tent design is up on the website to order, you can request custom colours to match your decor if you like, just email your request via moozlehome.com and I’ll see what I can do for you. If you are wondering, that’s Mary Poppins on the tv in the background.
The illustration in the frame, top photo, is the family tree by Famille Summerbelle.
Thanks to Sarah for sending in this cute pic of her Moozle toadstool teepee. You can order a kids teepee tent similar to this on my Etsy shop for International orders or for European orders go to Moozle.
If you would like to see a photo of your Moozle teepee here, then email it to me via the website www.moozlehome.com
Happy camping!
Rainy day in Amsterdam = happy campers 
The kids play in their teepee tent, we don’t have much space so it just gets picked up at the end of the day and put in the cupboard, still tied at the top! This is one of the first teepees I made and it is still going strong, more designs like this to be added to the shop soon.
How do you like the new project? I’ve been collecting old tapestries at flea markets whenever I see them and was recently given some that my Great Grandmother made, so finally I had enough for my pouffe project. I purposely didn’t cut into them so they can be easily unpicked and re-project’d at any time! The Bauble Lights are a new acquisition too.
Hello and thank you to my lovely customer in Puerto Rico for the super photo of the teepee tent I sent you. It’s always so nice to see how the tents look in other peoples homes and this one has made itself very cosy.
What a lovely surprise to be flicking through Living Etc, one of my fave UK interiors mags and see a Moozle mention and credit in their ‘stylish rooms for cool kids’ article featuring a kids play teepee tent (UK Jan issue page 118) Fantastic! Happy Christmas everyone!
New colour choices for names on your kids play teepee coming soon! These tents will be available with the name of your choice on my Etsy page in the New Year. Lots more colour choices available – just send me a message if you have a request via moozlehome
.
Just a quickie to show you the toadstool tent with added grass! I like it better this way, will have to do another shoot now! Except this one is on it’s way to Australia so I will need to find time to make another in between making and packing Christmas orders… I hope they like it, I’m sure it will look great at the Little Red Riding Hood party – wish I was going!
