The Rain is Slowing Me Down..

I know we need the rain,, and am glad to see it... but,,, it is putting a 'damper' on my "getter done" mode! lol!
Plus that I am eagerly waiting for my Hobby Lobby shipment, so I can finish up the 'trim' deco stuff in my trailer... But while I am waiting, I want to tell you about a wonderful Scone mix which is perfect to take and bake while Glamping... unless you don't have an oven in your trailer...

 Sticky Fingers Scone Mix... OMGeepers! they are beyond yummy and oh so easy to whip up.

 There are a lot of wonderful flavors and even Gluten Free for those of you who can not tolerate gluten products.
Simply add water, mix and bake... so very easy peasy....

My personal favorite is the Lemon Poppy Seed mix... makes even the dreariest Spokane days sunny! Which by the way is where 'Sticky Fingers' is located.

I baked up a batch last night,, to combat  the rainy day blues... Perfect,  sunshine in each bite!
You can buy Sticky Finger products on line at their web site, or Amazon or at your local 'World Market-Cost Plus' store... (my personal favorite)...

Well, I think it's time to put on a pot of tea and delve into the Scones,, care to join me?
Happy Trails....

Sneak Peek...

Here is a sneak peek of my sweet Scotty... almost done....  just got to do the little finishing touches.. but am waiting on an order from Hobby Lobby so I can finish... then I'll post better photos.

 need to sew 2 more deco  pillows,..

 I 'stole' the little wire 'figure frames' from my guest bathroom,,, lol!

 waiting on the pearls and bling to finish the cabinets...

 I re-purposed a sheet (Center) and table napkins (side) for curtains... the lace table cloth was actually a lace curtain.

 I had DH screw the white framed platter onto the wall... now I can use my blingy magnets to hold  photos and notes....

Need to hit Joann's Fabric store to buy a round foam cushion for my sweet chair... I have the Toile oil cloth,, just need the foam...
Soon my sweet playhouse on wheels will be ready for her debut in her new outfit!
Happy Trails...

Road Trip for the Traveling Handbag...

Well my Traveling Handbag and I took another trip... this time back to Spokane, WA. to visit my beautiful daughter and 3 cute as bugs grandkiddos!
I had a wonderful time and the 7 days flew by way to fast...
My American West handbag loves to travel and can you blame it...

 In flight from Seattle to Spokane...  (Wash. State Cougs logo on the plane wing...)

 The grandkids insisted on carrying "Oma's" handbag...

 My A.W. bag got to visit the 'Maryjane Farm' store in Coeure d'Alene in Idaho.
Oh so many pretty things to see....

 It was especially fond of this re purposed vtg. iron board made to hang things off... yep, sweet old door pulls were added as 'hooks'...

 Then my A.W. bag and I just 'moosed' around with 3 wonderful friends, junktiquing and being foodies... 

 The journey home,,, via Alaska/Horizon Airlines... and yep, enjoying a bit of lovely Washington state Chardonnay wine... :>)

 And as always... what trip would be complete with out a lunch stop at In-and-Out Burger... Yum!
Well until our next adventurers... Happy Trails ....

My Traveling Handbag...

Well my American West handbag has been having fun...
She traveled to Palm Springs/Palm Desert...sorry, I forgot to get some photos... but I did get a photo of the Turbines... they remind me of giant daises on a hillside...

 I stopped off in Ft. Tejon... off Hwy5 just past the Grapevine....

 In our little community,,, this wooden statue is along the roadside... so... well I decided to be a typical tourist in my own community...

From our community, Coarsegold, and Oakhurst on Hwy 41 you follow it up to Yosemite or you can hope onto Hwy 49 and head up to Sonora... the old Gold route... lots of history around us.
Our community was established in 1852,,, by loggers and gold seekers....
I am enjoying being a mountain girl...
Happy Trails.

Almost Done!

Almost Done!  
I am having such fun re-doing my lil Scotty,,, it's all coming together...
I finished up the bench cushions... deco pillows, curtains... and some other projects...
I was going to take a pic to post a 'sneak peek',, but decided to wait till it's all completed...

I just have a few more thing to make, a Bolster pillow, 2 more deco pillows and then I can start decoupaging and painting... right now our weather is cold and rainy so I need to wait till it warms up.

 I 'blinged' up my Sister Number... I so love orphaned jewelery...

I found these little cocktail napkins in my linen stash... perfect!

Well I don't want to spoil the final effect... so give me another 2 or 3 weeks and I should be ready to finish my trailer... but for now I am heading back up to Spokane, WA... for a visit with family so I will be gone for a week....but when I get home... I'll hit the floor running and finish up my 'Playhouse on Wheels"...
Happy Trails....
