 Picked up this really cool material ....for our 1967 vintage camper...not really sure what I am going to use it for but it makes me happy when I look at it. Thinking about a tablecloth, dishtowels, pillow or making a banner with it.......so what I will do is lay it out somewhere where I have to walk past it for a few days and then it will come to me....

 just got out to our camp site for the first time and setting up  this is one of our favorite campgrounds...people stopping by all the time to talk about the size and decor of our little vintage camper we slept very well the first night ...the bed is just a little smaller than a full sizeI  it had a small bathroom that we remodeled. the bathroom measures 20 inches x 35 inches....right now we have a port a potty in there on one end and storage on the other side  here is the port a potty and my storage above it...as of now I have some ivy also that drapes across the bar  the other side of the bathroom where we have storage her are our towels, dishcloths, tablecloths, and etc...I made the bag on the wall for my hair brushes, mirror and etc.  now this is the otherside of the wall where the kitchen stove which is original to 67 in great shape...we have not used it yet we are going to have the lines all checked out professionally first.  hubby made me a cutting

Been working on some funky socks.  I hand crochet them and they are thick and warm.  Good way to use up small pieces of yarn and still make a few items.  I try to crochet every time I set down to relax or watch TV.  It keeps my hands busy but also I get a lot of things done.  Hubby always gives me a bad time that I can't just sit and do nothing.  But crocheting relaxes me.  The little flowers are on both socks just on the outside of each sock.  I love this pattern for how the toes and heels are made.

Been working on making a few pairs of funky fun slipper socks.  The problem with these is you are changing colors almost every row.  So this leaves a lot of ends to weave in and hide.  This pair is for a women's size 7-8.  As with all crocheting these will stretch but as soon as you wash them they will retain their original size.  These come with a tie at the top to help hold them up.  A pretty little flower to add some bling. Nice and warm for a cold winters evening...on sell in our etsy shop at https://etsy.com/shop/rustycupboard

We have been working on our Patriotic Tote/Bag/Purse line.  This is now in our ETSY shop and ready to be purchased.  Totally handmade with double crocheting, machine wash and lay flat to dry.  Measures 5 inches x 13 inches on the bottom and is 13 inches high.  Real nice item to take to the beach, fireworks, camping or etc.  Love the bright red, white and blue colors.  The items are just to show how it looks with things in it. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy our site...

 Decided to make a afghan/throw/blanket for Valentines Day.  I chose the criss cross stitch and was off....for Valentines I chose the white, rose petal, and shocking pink rose.  This was a fairly easy one for me and I enjoyed just watching TV and working it up.  Funny, when I was done I told hubby everyone of these stitches I put into this.  It measures about 50"x60" and as everyone knows crocheting stretches. We always recommend washing on cold and laying flat to dry.  We have found that the dryer causes the yarn to get fuzzies...so laying flat to air dry the yarn stays the same.  Will be pretty in any room.  Now, on sell in our Etsy shop...at www.etsy.com/shop/rustycupboard....
