Fix and Fixed

Wall building is whats on the topic for today. Jorge and I decided to put up a wall to block the front cab part from the rest of the rig.

Why? Are we crazy? Well, not completely... So much cold come from the front cab and then add in the whole pets factor - I just couldn't take it any more and so the wall went up.... Here is what Jorge did so far.

And so the hard part of the job is done and now we need to get the cutie pillows done and shelves made and little fun projects like that. And yes the very first night we could tell the difference already in temps in here... Life is good again!!

Picture Table

You will hear this over and over again from RV full-timers like us who are brave enough to full time in a small RV (24 ft - take an extra 2-3 feet off because the front cab is blocked off with a wall).

We love pictures like the next person but we just don't have the wall space for displaying our memories or loved ones. And so Jorge created a photo table. It's about 22 inches by 22 inches, so a very small table. I had painted it black with a Burgundy leg. No glass for us as the table topper - weight is always an issue in an RV. So shorts cuts where in order for us on this project. Plexiglass http://www.eplastics.com/  is the trick we used and has worked out great... I do need to get plexiglass installed on the walls behind the stove to save the walls from our cooking.

I do need to change out some of the pictures and put in our new adventure and new friends we've made over the year... I do all of my printing on my Kodak Printer... I have the Kodak esp 5250 the ink price isn't too bad even if you do buy it at a Walmart or a Kmart (of course it's about 20-30% cheaper if you buy it on-line). The only thing bad I can say about this printer is - if your one cartridge runs out it won't print - like I just ran out of my color ink and it won't just print in black until I replace the color ink - kind of a pisser but it's the facts.

And so there you go - that's our solution to reliving the past and remembering what our lol family looks like!!

Getting Closer to Summer Work

I tally our etsy sales in my little accounting booklet and I had forgotten to log yesterdays single sale down. So today as I was about to log our single sale, I happen to look up at the calendar and noted "OMG" its April 5th. A little over a month and we head off to a new adventure for the summer season. A paying gig too!! yahoo... The paying part lol... We are so excited because neither of us have ever been to ID before and so this will be new turf for us.


We will miss this part of the country but we are looking forward to new adventures and meeting new people. Oh this whole RV way of living is awesome. I think by the end of the summer we'll be able to say we have friends on every corner of the USA...


Jorge is working on some little improvements in the rig today. However the list is long for his
 "Honey Do List" and I not thinking it's going to be complete by the time we leave here - but miracles do happen lol... So while I am hearing bang-bang-bang all afternoon and my eyes seem like shutters going rapid speeds I am knitting... I had just finish this hat which has a funny story to it and has freaked some people out because the head is sitting on my table for the world to walk by and see LOL.

I think it's cute....
Jorge and I call it Orange Burst

And not I have put my crochet hooks awhile and have take the knitting needles out and working on something for me... I never make anything for me - it's always for the store these days... Extra income is always needed this time of year... But this time something just for me. A scarf... This is all I was able to get done so far... And I will post when completed  - just a reminder knitting takes a lot longer to do then crocheting. Some will say otherwise but for me it's just sooo...

So tonight will be an early night because I am at wits end and will have a rather large headache I am sure from all of this flipping bang-bang-bang going on in the rig. I am venting here and keeping very quiet because I need this to go away fast - lol...
