Sewing in an RV

When I bought my RV, I figured out where I wanted to do my paper crafting, but wasn’t all that sure on where I would sew.  And then I needed to figure it out fast.  I offered to make some tote bags that the ladies from Alamo Craft Company would fill with toiletries, gifts, etc, for a local Battered Women’s Shelter.  So  this past weekend, I got everything I would… Read More »

Spider Wreath

A few weeks ago, I showed you the beautiful beaded spider that came in my Frightful Wreath kit (136816): I had finally finished the wreath and today decided that I really wanted to hang it outside, but it’s not working very well.  First, I put it on the  outside of the door: It looked pretty good, but then the wind flipped it around and I didn’t want to lose it,… Read More »

The RV Crafting Studio Revealed

As I explained in previous posts, I converted the bunkhouse of my new fifth wheel RV into a crafting space.  I officially moved into the RV (I call it my tiny house) about a week ago, and have pretty much organized the space for working.  Someday I will tidy up more and take more pictures, but I thought you might like to see how you can organize your crafting, stamping,… Read More »

Almost moved in!

After making my craft studio mods and spending hours thinning out my belongings, I am almost ready to move in full-time!  The RV had to go into the shop this week to fix some little problems but it came home last night and I am about ready to actually sleep there!  And craft there, too!  Most of my supplies are already over there and my fingers are getting itchy to… Read More »
