Ok, for months I struggled with trying to come up with the perfect name for my 1963 Scotty trailer.....
I was telling a friend my story of the "missing front lawn gnomes"....Years ago my childhood BFF had sent me 3 Gnomes from Germany....well I had them out under our 3 Ficus trees....
One day I noticed that one of the Gnomes was missing...hmmmm all I could think was how tacky that someone would steal a Gnome from our home....
Then several weeks later I noticed a second Gnome was missing...ok, not funny,,,time to call the Gnome Police.... then again a couple weeks later the 3rd one disappeared....ok, no more Gnomes for me.
Several days later while on the phone to my mom I mentioned the missing Gnome & she just starts laughing...finally she said, "well I wondered how long it would take you to notice!"...
My mom was the Gnome Thief!!!! lol!
Which brings me back to now..... I was out rummaging through a local Thrift shop & spotted this little Gnome,,,and for only a whopping .49cents!
Then I found some fun kitschy fabric with retro vintage trailers & Gnomes....it was meant to be....my Scotty with a potty is now the "Gnome Home"....

Welcome 2010...A New Year for Trailering Fun!
Ok,,,so here it is, the first week of January, 2010 and already I am planning some sewing fun ....
I have come across these 3 cute trailer motif fabrics which would be fun to make 'decorative' items for needy trailers...my dilemma is do I stick with just one print or go wild and buy yardage from all three and figure out later what to use them for????? (RV website)

(ebay)
I know the 1st & 3rd are from the Michael Miller fabric line...not sure who the middle one is from.
Hmmm, the first 2 are from web sites but the last one is currently on ebay so I had better decide pretty quick.... thinking, thinking, thinking!
Happy Trails to you until we meet again.....
