 We love camping and really enjoy our 13 foot camper.  It is a 1967 mini Bell and we call her "Maizy Belle"...it has a full size bed, working water, apartment size refrigerator, a small bathroom and everything we need.  Hubby and I love camping in her.  We also have a 19 inch TV and DVD player for the rainy days.... And at night we deck her out. We had so many campers coming over to check her out.. was so much fun...enjoy camping dear friends.

 So many things come into our lives and we often forget what we love to do.  Daughter and I started our journey with our Rustycupboard store because we were running out of room to store things.  We loved to shop and yard sale.  We would purchase items and bring them home and remake them or paint them and sell at our next yard sale for a profit.  This was working great for us until we had stacks of items waiting for the perfect time for a yard sale.  So we decided to sale on facebook and marketplace and get rid of a few things....... At the same time we were still working with our hands crocheting, knitting, sewing and filling tubberware containers waiting for a craft fair to come along.  In our town it is a waiting list to get into some of the big craft fairs and we just never seemed to make it.   Then daughter got married and eventually had two boys....so her hands began to get fuller.  I in otherwords was getting older and then fell and broke both wrists....selling on line got to whe

 I have had a hard time crocheting because I broke both wrists in August.  After the bones healed I had a lot of nerve damage and a swollen elbow from the fall.  I have had to do physical therapy and with it I decided to crochet again. Our son is a chief of the Orofino fire department and his son is a fireman.  So I have access to a lot of fireman gear.  I asked for grandson's hat for this picture. I folded it up and used one of our lawn chairs to take the picture.  The red and yellow sure make it stand out. The throw measures 45"x60". It can be machine washed and dried but we always recommend you laying it flat to dry.  As with all crocheted items this throw will stretch just a little as the stitches find their place.

Went to the thrift stores yesterday to get out of the house...it was so cold the wind was coming right off the North Pole....(just me saying)....anyway....picked up these two cute little chairs....I love little kids chairs...then I usually give them away but...I got the green one and brought it home and was excited to start painting it and forgot to take a picture first....but it matches another chair I have for the grandkids when they come to visit and I wanted to give both a matching paint job....the other is the cutest little rocking chair...yes I have give all my daughter in laws and daughter a little rocking chair...and I have 4 in my house right now that I use to decorate with....got both for $5.49 each...

  Today I have been working in the basement trying to organize after the holidays....I came upon an old chicken feeder that a friend sent to me years ago and I used a lot doing my vender shows...I no longer do them so I just put it away in the basement...now I think I will make a display like this one using succulent plants....I think I will enjoy it for the next few months...
