No Camping Yet...

There is still no camping,, due to the COVID19...

We can not go to Campgrounds or State Parks to camp.. until our State will allow the Campgrounds and Parks to open up for camping...

 

So until then,, I will just spend time out in my little trailers,, maybe I will bring some books and magazines and some hand stitching sewing projects to leave in my trailers,, and then I can hang out in my trailer and relax with reading or sewing...

 

I recently made a sweet little Banner/Bunting for my Aristocrat trailer..

 I was able to use up some scrap fabric to make this....

 now to decide where to hang it in my trailer... 

 

Recently I received a very sweet  and precious gift from Nicole, a dear friend in Sandy Hook, Conn..

 It is the little pink glass Scotty dog, salt cellar, on the bottom shelf... It is so sweet...and goes perfect with my small collection of Scotty dog Salt & Pepper shakers. 

 And, Nicole also sewed this cute blue/pink Scotty dog.. I Love It!

While tiding up in my trailer, I found these 2 mini aprons,, that I had tucked away last year...

I made the pink one and Darlene, a sweet friend made the blue one for me.. 

 

Oh,, how I wish I could be camping.. but for now,, I will just be day dreaming about camping...

Le Chat... has escaped!

Well,,, Le Chat, has escaped from the barn,,,,

and is now out playing in the field with the Flamingo Palace...

 Le Chat was sooo happy to have her Solarlier hanging to catch some sunshine..

 and as always,,, got the Camp Sign up!

 hadn't  put much decorations out yet,,

which was a good thing, because a short while later we got some strong gusts of winds,, and things went everywhere.. '(that was yesterday)..

 

Then today,, we had to put all the stuff away because a thunder/rain storm was rolling in... we got a good round of lightening, thunder, rains and winds,,, thank goodness it only lasted for about 30minutes.

Tomorrow I will put everything back out.. and then maybe decorate a bit more..

At least the girls are outside frolicking in the pasture...

It is great to have a 14acre yard to play in!...

The Flamingo Palace has Escaped!

Well... the Flamingo Palace has escaped from the barn,,,

 Pulled her out,,, cleaned her up from her Winter's nap.. and hooked her up to electricity..

The Flamingo Palace is ready for Glamping!

 Blankets are laundered,,,,  the floor has been washed and the Winter dust bunnies have been dusted away...

 put a few goodies out ....

 all I need is the coffee maker, which is still tucked away in the cabinet...

I still can't decorate around the outside because of the winds... but hopefully in the next week or two the winds will die down so I can add my twinkle lights and other goodies around the outside...

 In the mean time,,, 'Le Chat'  my 1963 Serro Scotty is still in the Barn...

just waiting for her turn to come out and play... Soon wee trailer, Soon....

 

If you click on the photos, they will 'em-biggen' for a better view.

Still No Glamping...

Well, still to early to go Glamping in either of my wee Trailers nor the Motorhome..

Between the bitter cold winds, no sunshine and now the Weather Peeps are predicting rains this coming week!  Oh Joy!

I go out once a week to check on them,, but still to cold to play in them..

Come on Summer,, I (we) miss you!!

Is it time Yet???

 

 

 

 

Happy New Year 2020

Just want to pop in and say Happy New Year,,, Oh My Stars! 2020 is only 2 days away... which means Camping season is just a few months away.. Wagons HO!

 

But until then, May you all have a Safe and Joyous New  Year..

 

Merry Christmas 2019

Once again, I am so far behind in posting on my Blog,, and now we are almost at the end of 2019..

With it being Winter,, my trailers are fast asleep in the Barn and I can only day dream about up coming camping adventures for next Summer...

 

I did manage to make some dish towels for my lil trailers...

 

So.. until the snow melts and the trailers come out of Hybernation...

Merry Christmas...,

stay warm, healthy and happy...

 

 

Trailer Pillow....

Well, I may not be able to go Glamping... but I can still make cute lil Glamping decos!

I bought a pre-printed panel with a cute trailer design... this reminds me of back in the 1960's-70's when you could by a fabric panel of a Teddy Bear or Kitty or Holiday-Christmas tree or Easter Bunny, etc...
Just cut out, sew and stuff...and Voila' instant cute pillow....
Now I just need to decide which trailer to put this in...the Scotty or the Aristocrat... or I could buy another panel and then I would have one for each trailer!!!
Happy Trails and Wagons HO!

 

Flamingo Stapler...

Every Flamingo trailer needs a Flamingo stapler!

This cutie 'migrated' all the way from Florida.. to snowy Spokane...vie a thoughtful friend.

We are adding electricity to the Barn,, so during the Winter I can sneak out to my trailers, turn on the little electrical heater and snuggle in and catch up on my reading... and munch on my secrete cookie stash!
I may not get to do any Glamping in the dead of Winter,, but at least I can pretend while nestled in the barn.

 

Glamping Season...

It doesn't matter the season or weather,, it's always fun to go Glamping...

 we can brave the weather...

 and glamp in an unexpected late September snow... or...

stay snuggled in under shelter, with a warm mug of tea and a cookie or two...

Happy Snowtember!

Table Runner for my Aristocrat...

I had a bit of free time and decided to stitch up a little table topper/runner for my Aristocrat...

I still have lots of "Maryjane Butters" fabric by Moda... which is great, for when I get itchin' to be stitchin'.

 I still need to do some decorative top stitching.. but since the weather peeps are predicting snow by early next week,, I suspect I will have plenty of free time to sew... lol!

Notice the empty wine glass,, it may get used a lot more if we do get an early snow!!! lol!

 

Trip Down Memory Lane, Washington...

Came across some photos from when we lived in Spokane (2007-13)...

Wish we had not sold the old Belaire... how cute my lil Serro Scotty would have looked, being towed by  "Christine" (what we named the Belaire)...

A 1954 Chevy Belaire towing a 1963 Serro Scotty..

Ah! I do miss her....

 

 

That being said,, then we would have had to find a vintage car to match our 1971 Aristocrat... lol!

 

Camping Season is Over...

And This is Why camping season is pretty much over for us...

All day,, off and on 'mini monsoons'....
Both trailers are tucked away in the barn... and the motorhome is in the Shop for warranty work...
So no camping this weekend... bummer!

 

Winters Coming..

Winter's coming and so we decided to tuck away both trailers....

In the mean time I made another little glass trivet for my Aristocrat...

I used decopauge paste to adhear the fabric to the underside of this glass trivet that I bought at a local Dollar store... Then I let it dry over night,,, then sprayed on a layer of Varathane/sealer.
It now is in the trailer along with the apron from the same fabric.

I'll probably find some more fun fabrics to make more fun stuff for my trailers while they snooze through the Winter.
 

 

Sweet lil Trailer...

Since I can't get out to camp for the  next few weekends... I get to make this to remind me of how much I love Glamping..

                                                                 just a quick lil project....

I used up some of the Maryjane Butters fabric I had ... and other bits-n-pieces of fabric...

and of course.... a yoyo for the tire...

the back side is such a sweet print but is to busy to have used for the front side..

Wagons HO!

6 Wee Flamingos...

Lookie,,, 6 wee Flamingos...

 found these cuties over at Hobby Lobby... Perfect for my Aristocrat trailer...

hmmm, I think I might have to buy a (very) small blue tinsel tree to hang them on in my trailer! 

 

Snuck away for a few days of Glamping...

2 days after our house guests flew back to Germany,,, we snuck away to go camping for a week...

Relaxing was much needed...

We relaxed in the motorhome,, played Billyards and Table Tennis and a few rounds of mini golf..We met more lovely people, who like us,, where at the campground to relax...

 

Go figure , all my photos are on my phone so I need to send them over to my computer,,

 another day's project...

 

My New Trailer Quilt

My New Trailer Quilt..

 it is a short twin size, just perfect for my trailer..

I luv the fun fabric prints...

New Curtain for my Trailer...

I am getting the curtains (almost) finished..

I finished the red ones and just recently a new one for the window over my sink.. now to figure out what to do with the side ones by the sofa...

 luv these ... Maryjane Fabric by Moda...

 I decided to do simple lace behind the sofa.. just need to figure out what to do for the side ones.. tho I am leaning toward just a fun pink fabric...

 I sewed layers of different fabrics to make the kitchen curtain... I also spray painted the paper towel holder a bright blue.

 I made several 'secrete stash' hangers.. to hide my lil goodies in, with in my trailer closet.

 I made a coulpe more of them, 1 on blue and one in green...

And lookie what I found at the local Thrift.. a 2' x 3' Scotty banner.. Whoot Whoot.

 

Lookie, Lookie, Fabric Fun...

Lookie, Lookie what I got today...

Sent to me from MaryJanes Farm,, Glamping fabric , design by Maryjane Butters for Moda Fabrics.

Fat quarters, and 4 of them are from her line of ' Glamping' fabrics and the fabric on the right is a whimsical glamping Diva fabric also by Maryjane that is complimentary to the Glamping fabric...
Sew many things to sew,,, what shall I make?

 

Even In Deutschland...

Yes, even in Deutschland, Germany, Heilbronn to be specific... little aluminum trailers are popular!

Check it out, in the center of town in the City Hall plaza, I spotted this wee one,,,

 

Not sure if it is a food vendor or other type of vendor or a Dealership with their trailer on display..

Camping is very popular in Germany...

Wish I were there right now, to check this out..

fyi-gotta luv Web Cams...
