Nervous Baking



Yeah....I Did It! I Hitched it Up...made the Light Connections...with a little help with back-up directions from my daughter....





All Ready to Go....

Well Almost....I still need to get it out of the driveway to take a couple spins around the block......

Then, I will have to put it back, by Backing it back into the driveway again...eww....forgot about that part :O

At this Point, I'm Feeling pretty good about everything...in fact...by my third pass around the neighborhood....(neighbors probably think I've gone Mad "D), I start the task of backing the trailer , back into my driveway...



Well,



You Hardly Notice it Right?????


Oh My....uh ...Oh.... Eeeek...*(



My Little Trailer Took the Beating A Little Better...don't cha think? See, they Really "don't make em like they use to! "D

That was at about 2 PM (Yesterday - Wednesday) just after my first post...

I was a little shakin' up after that...so, I just parked it along the front of my house...went Inside to think about the whole situation...:{

I stewed on it for about 3 hours, Then, I said to myself....Self, "D If you don't try again...then the mistake will be for nothing...
you must try again...
Got the keys, pulled away from the curb....went around the block....passed the house....went around the other way, around the block, stopped, to a look at the driveway, tried to get my angle better this time, and take it slow...
By the third try, my neighbor's husband came by walking his dogs...he politely looked at me in my dilemma, and promptly asked if I needed some help..."Would you like me to back it in for you?" I Politely said , No, but, could you show me, how to do it?....He had a puzzled sort of look on his face, I told him about my trouble earlier, and I am Determined to get it there myself....I would like to learn how to do it...
He knew all the right techniques and maneuvers, and just how to explain them...so for the next 10 minutes or less, I had one of the Best Lesson's of My Life
and,...I back'd that little thing Right Back in to it's parking space...:)

Then, I went Inside to Call My Husband....:O

Uh....OH......


That's when I started Baking Banana Bread for the Potluck at the Rally...

I have to tell you something about myself now,
...I have this thing....I can never just bake "one" bread, "one" tray of anything...I have to make enough for the Walton's...
I don't know why really, but since I have been baking at the age of Nine, I have always been this way...

I think I will need one of these for my helpful neighbor...
Oh, and Maybe One for My Husband when he get's back
Uh...
Oh




Banana Nut Bread(s)

It's 2:am....



Oh, and 20 Large Brownies Too! (-2) "D

Did I Mention...It's


It's 2:am "D

OH, Did I Mention....

I Still Don't Know If I am Going Yet....

I think I need to get some Sleep...now it's 3 am "D

Maybe I will Decide after a Good Nights Sleep...

Hmm.....: )

Meanwhile....Back on the TinCan Cottage Trail....

Here are my latest Interior Decor Pics
I have made a few revisions and downsized....slightly....well, not really, but when I added something new, I took out something old
Most of the new knicknacks are from my "Garage Sale " Anniversary trip
What Treasures I found!

A few months ago, Jennifer Pagnelli sent me this fabric , the red and white pillow on the right, Gratis..that's french for, "Really Kind Women!":D...What A Wonderful thing to do! I'm blown away by her generosity! :D
Thanx Again Jennifer!




Jennifer Pagnelli's fabric line is called, "Sis Boom". Have you seen her designs? Oh My! If you haven't, your missing out! She has wonderful talented people all around her and she sells patterns to make women s and childrens dresses, and what better fabric for a vintage whimsical apron and purses. quilts and pillows too. I will be adding more of her wonderful fabric throughout my tincan cottage.
Click on her link on the right to her shop and blog and see for yourself why I'm Hooked on her fabric!


Heres' another view of this beautiful fabric, It's the Red and White Pillow in front...I'm also using it to cover the microwave



And next to the Microwave, we finally bought a refrigerator...yeah:D...and the best part is, we I found it at my local Salvation Army, brand new, marked 44.99, but with the 25% off sale that day, I bought it for 33.25...WOW, now that's a deal!



I put a spice rack over the counter and added milk glass spice jars, these things I already had
to the right is a garage sale trail find, a vintage cutting board that reads Friday Gardening, I just love the graphics and her red polka dot dress, too cute! Hanging next to it is a vintage tea strainer


Vintage Flower broaches...I'm starting a collection on my curtains, when we were shopping on the road, it made it real easy to just pin them on and away we went! Just what I needed, a New Collection "D


here's another one...:D


I bought the boot (my utensil holder) and the apple and strawberry plaques on the trail, oh, and don't forget...that tiny little mouse coming out of an apple on the sink side...I couldn't resist!



Here a Couple of Garage Sale Trail Treasures I added over each window
You see my theme here, kind of a Floral and Bird thing going on
My House (the one without the wheels) is the same way
You can see pictures of my home under, at home on my Sidebar

quarter here, fifty cents there, a couple of dollars here, a few more dollars there...
It's all good...and all in good Fun!


Well...that's what I tell my husband anyway "D)
