Took the Motorhome for Gas..

Well, we took the motorhome for gas... Gary drove it down to the gas station and I drove it back..
Oh my stars! it drives so easy,, I even backed it into the spot where we park it..
I suspect hubby and I will be arm wrestling to see who gets to drive.. heehee!

Working on a pillow for the Motorhome...
 I machine embroidery stitched the motorhome on a separate piece of fabric
which I will top stitch onto this 'Route 66' fabric and then it will become a deco pillow for the coach.
Hmmm, what else shall I craft up for the coach?

I can't be trusted in Camping World!

I can't be trusted in Camping World... I find way to much fun stuff!!!
 I still love my itty bitty Glamp trailers,,,, and can never have enough stuff to decorate them with!
Gotta love Flamingos Too!!!!
Camping World had cup, plates, towels even vintage trailer embroidered bed sheets...
I was able to (barely) control myself,,, but I couldn't leave with out a few things...
Happy Trails!!!

Big Playhouse on Wheels...

                           Welcome to Ginger's Pad.....
 
Well, the paper work on our new Big Playhouse on Wheels is complete...
But, hubby wanted to upgrade the suspension and steering column, and have the coach exterior waxed/sealed so we won't have any fading issues for the next 5 years..

So we won't bring "Ginger's Pad" home until around the 16th of April.
In the mean time, this will give me time to read up on how to use the microwave/convection oven.
I also bought a 'Instant Pot' to use on trips.. I know my sister and my daughter LOVE theirs for home and camping trips,, so I guess I need to too!
Here are a few photos of "Ginger's Pad"... I can hardly wait to decorate it!
  
 The cockpit... what you can't see in the photo is that above the Cockpit is a pull down bunk, which can also be used for additional storage...
 driver's side... with all the bells, whistles and buttons...
 'co-pilot' side...
 and I love that it has a work station, so I can craft, sew, cross stitch, make yoyos, etc., while hubby is driving. I can even work on my computer while on the road......
 nice 3 person sofa that pulls out into a double bed...
 the dinette which also can be converted into a bed....
the kitchen, with an over size stainless steel sink and faucet/pull down wand. But what I really like is that the wall behind the stove has tile to protect from splatters and that when you open the glass stove cover, it opens sideways to protect the sofa from splatters as well.
 On the left is the Fridge/freezer, and 2 sets of wardrobe closets and drawers on both sides...
 the bath room is a good layout and the tub is 36x36", which is a good decent size..
 the queen size bed also has storage & nooks as well as ports and plug recepticals .
The coach has a good amount a usable storage compared to some RV Coaches.
 
Our 2019 THOR AXIX 27.7 is about 28 1/2 feet long,,, oh and did I mention it has 3 TV's, Yeepers!
 1 in the bed room, one by the Dinette and one outside the coach,,, so Gary can watch his favorite Golf, basket ball and football games outside while I have fun inside the coach sewing and crafting.
 
Now to hit the road and make memories.....

Our New 'Playhouse' on wheels..

Well we did it,, after months of talking, researching and week ends of looking at Motorhomes...we found the perfect one that is perfect for us..
 we bought a Thor Axis Class-A (RUV)
 at 28 1/2 ft long, with 2 bump outs....
 it's not as wide as a standard Class-A, it is  a tad narrower...
 yet roomy enough with the bump outs in the open position.. and when the bump outs are closed, it is still easy to move around in.
even Ginger loves checking it out... now, were shall we go,,, the open road awaits us...
 
Don't worry, I still have my Serro Scotty trailer and the Aristocrat,, for my own girlie glamping week ends with my gal~pals.
Now,,, for Glamping season.....

Trailer Grins...

Trailer Grins... I have (almost) finished my wool craft trailer pillow,, all I need to do is buy a 12x12" pillow form and stitch up the fabric... I found this cool muted pillow-ticking fabric for the backing... and soon as I get back from California (visit my mom)... I will finish the deco pillow...
 More Trailer Grins.... I received a package today from a Maryjane FarmGirl friend,,,
 and look at all the goodies inside! Oh My Stars!
 I can hardly wait to work on the Trailer Applique and the Trailer Quilt... The sweet little ceramic trailer on the right side is actually a tiny trinket box..
 One more Crafty Trailer Grin.... I bought this little (red) travel mug, and went straight to work on
 personalizing it with some scraps of trailer  fabric.
 and Voila!!! my very own customized Trailer mug.
"Cowgirls go to Heaven... Glampers go everywhere else!...

Flamingo Table Runner..

OOPS!, I forgot to post a picture of the flamingo table runner I made  awhile back... Silly Me!
 I luv it!
 it turned out cute... and the white ball fringe was a last minute add.
I was short enough fabric for the back side,, but the polka piece was just perfect...
I can hardly wait to put it to use...

Bling for my Trailer..

With all the snow fall we are having... I decided to get crafting...
I made a couple of these last year as gifts.. and now I made one for myself..
it's blingy,,, but my camera is old and the photo did not turn out great...
Hmmm, maybe I need to search for a 1967 trailer... hmmm

Trailer Goodies for 2019

 I found this cute rose/pink (sorry, photo doesn't show well) and golf coffee carafe... I luv it! Fun 1960's find...
 My 2019 Trailer calendar and a cute drink cup.... 
 I stitched up this little wool project several months ago,,, I have way to many deco pillows for my trailer so I think I will frame this and make it a wall hanging... now to decide if I should use this 'ticking' fabric or burlap on it... decisions decisions.... 
 I found this cute foam trailer craft kit.... complete with Flamingo in the yard!
OK, I know "the Tiny House" is all the rage... but honestly,,, I would much rather have my lil trailers!
 
Happy Trails.... 2019

Just One More!

Just One More!
 
Just when I thought my trailer days were over for the season...
I found an other one!
 I had stopped in at Wal-mart to grab coffee creamer when I spotted this in the Holiday décor...
I had told myself I wasn't going to buy any more mini trailers,, but I managed to ignored that lil voice in my head,, lol!

Trailers are Tucked Away for Winter.

Well, my trailers are tucked away for winter..
Now it's time to nestle back and dream of new Glamping advantures in 2019.
 
 I decided to take the Aristocrat for it's last outing at Kamp Karen,,, as the weather was to be less then stellar.,, and trust me,, it was cold and windy, but it didn't stop us from having fun.  
 I haven't decided on a deco theme yet for the 'Crat",,,so for now I just pilfer stuff from the Scotty and around the house.
 I did bring some crafting projects to work on., like this wool craft 'trailer' block. Oh and the pink object de' Art,, that is a sweet planter light from the 1960's...I found it while out Junktiquing.
 This is Mig's trailer, aka Party Central...complete with an inflatable sofa, I added my pink papazon camp chair...
 
This is Karen's trailer,,, "Driving Ms Daisy"... parked along the side of the Chicken Mansion...
All in all it was a fun last camping venue for the year.
 
I hope to be able to decorate my 'Crat' during the winter,, stitch up new curtains,, and decide on a theme for it,,
Well until Spring,,, Happy Trails.......
