Busy Week ~ Thrifting and Crafting ~ Home & Blog Neglect!

~~~ Bewitched ~~~

When I was growing up in the late sixties, early seventies, The Show Bewitched was my Idea of the Perfect Housewife!:D I know that sounds crazy, but I loved her Home the way she always had breakfast and dinner always prepared for Darin , (loved David York's version of the character the best!) :D Through her own hand or by magic, It just was how I wanted my home to look, and that lifestyle was what I wanted to have for myself and my family. Well, let's just say, it doesn't always look like that around here!;D

In Case you were wondering where I went, I have been So busy this week with my "Tiny" Giveaway, and of course, taking a lot of breaks for Thrifting I have neglecting my little Blog!:(

I Hope someone is still hanging on out there ;D! For those of you who are:

My Trailer Update is that we cut-out and laid the sisal tile but I have decided that this will not be a permanent floor, but something that can come-up to clean. (we won't be gluing or nailing it) I think this will work out for cleaning purposes and I actually love the original floor which is beige pink with specs of yellow and aqua throughout, and is in pretty good condition with the exception of the door area. So this will be a good fix.

I have ordered several replacement parts, such as the two large red break light covers for back , and two yellow side light covers. Door Handle w/lock.
My Husband says he will start painting 2nd week of May...cross your fingers..If I can just keep him motivated, I'm shooting for the big reveal first week of June!




Meanwhile, Instead of doing housework this week, ;D, I have been Crafting, and Thrifting, and scheming of additions to my Blog. I have decided to add a sidebar item while I wait for something new to show on my trailer. Home & Garden , I will blog whenever I'm not thrifting or crafting, or doing housework ;D, I will blog about my Not So Spic and Span Home, remember, "Clean enough to be Healthy , But Dirty enough to be Happy!" That's My Motto! I am easy on Myself , and my family about the Home chores, but, unfortunately we will not pass the white glove test! Oh Well! ;D

I've Updated My Shelf for Spring!

HERE IS THE LATEST!

What Color Do You Think I Picked for the bottom half of my Tiny Trailer?

I will be having a Drawing towards the End of my Final Reveal on my Tiny Trailer for a
" Tiny" Prize ~ Of Course!

Here is another purchase for my tiny little home on wheels!

I will put this on the floor in front of my kitchen sink counter area, It has just about every color I have in mind for my little trailer!


A HandHooked Rug, not sure if it's vintage, but It sure is A~dorable!

On that Note: I have changed my mind on the flooring, at least I think I have, I bought Sisal tiles at Ikea as couple of weeks ago. I think there a nice match to all the birch wood walls, I think it will will warm-up the floor on chilly mornings. And a bonus, they are removable if any need to be cleaned or replaced. Although, they still have to be installed, I have tried to cut one myself , and I guess this is one of those projects better left for my husband, at least the cutting part. :( the measuring went ok, but, all I had was a hand saw and a miter box, that didn't work to well, a little jaggedy...he said I better quit before I lost anymore of the tiles...:() uh, oh! ) He said he would cut them with the electric hand saw. Thanx Hun!
He's kind of busy with the Electricals right now...


Here is his latest progress this past Weekend...my poor husband, pulled his hair out on this one....had to rewire whole trailer, added plugs throughout....well , it's a tiny space, but I was amazed at how many outlets we need!

Here is an outlet above the dining table in the back of the trailer

I found a little Chandelire he will rewire to a plug in type (so that I can put it away each time we travel)



I'm thinking of painting the metal out white..with a little red/ brown/rusty patina showing through

This will hang by a covered chain over the table of the trailer,
A ~ dorable!


Here is the original table which came with a yellow plywood top, It has a gauge or hole on one area, so I would like to glue down a piece of Oil Cloth, checkered or floral, over the top, I am looking around for some right now. Any other suggestions on this one? :)

The sliding doors panel/covers on the storage areas below both side of the seats and above the kitchen area will be done in the same or coordinating oil cloth, then some glass knobs added for a little Sparkle!

These don't look like much now...infact, they are just pieces of thick foam I cut today that I am covering with batting and cordinating fabric , these will go inside end to end in the scallopped area in the back of the trailer, (foramally where the canvas sling bed was stored) so that I can have a flat surface to set all my knick knacks on! You'll have to trust me on this one. I will have pics of this next time you visit!

Its a little hard to see the scallop top , but the foam will sit Inside, to bring up a level flat surface for knick knacks

I will leave you until next time with a few of the cuties I might put on this shelf area

Maybe these Best Friend Farm Girls...they remind of the Farm Chick Gals!


Maybe this truck...if it fits...not sure on this one



I have to add this one, a Tool Kit for the Bride to Be!
A Cook Book...gota be an expert! ....Duz laundry Detrergent...gotta gettum clean! A Broom...gotta sweep the crumbs!...an Iron (can't see it too well) but, you gotta steam out those wrinkeles...frying pan complete with eggs...you gotta keep em fed!...a red handled rolling pin...you gotta keep em in line! ;) giggle... just wanted to see if you were paying attention!

A~dorable!

Until the next time! Keep on Smiling!

With A Wave of A Magic Mallett...I Mean Wand!

If I Could Wave My Magic Wand...My Trailer would be Finished, and I'd be in my Teensy Trailer decorating til my hearts content!

Well...I'm almost there! and the Wand is a Wooden Mallet... NO... .; ) I'm just Kidding! ; ) Anyway, My husband has started again, though, not without everything I talked about on my last post ...and a little help from my friend Victoria...but that's a Secret! ; )

These Things Seemed to Work Like A Charm!

{ And Then He Started to Work Again! }

Oh...I Love You Darling !!!.....Thank-you Sooooo much for working on my trailer!

(just a little side note....this is someones found treasure...(Betty @ She Sew Pretty )I'm looking for the blog/post...to give credit to the gal who found this knick knack on one of her shopping trips with the gals! I just couldn't wait to post it...if anyone knows who it belongs to let me know:) Too...A dorable! I want it for my trailer!)
