I never realized that you'd made your tent yourselves! Wow, that's a really professional job, very nice!

Thanks! We actually made ours, Berek and Liesel's, both of our dayshades, Johann's tent, and 20 ft yurt (now Jacomus & Jenara's that we sold to Ned years ago). It's really fun, especially with an industrial machine now (we made all the others with my 1976 Kenmore), 300 yards of fabric, and the best thread possible (that we had manufactured by a company in North Carolina). It actually makes me want to stay home and not go to work. Which for me says a lot because I totally love my job (the majority of the time at least :-).
