Tiny Home 101....

 Ok.....some have already called me crazy.  That's fine, I agree completely!  I don't know where or how I got it, but I know I've had this "disease" since early childhood.  This disease is hard to label.  But, I know what it does to me.  It makes me start a project before I've finished the last one.  And it has no boundaries or limits.  I can start one project, then another, then another and well, you get the idea.  It can make me physically ill at times, but mostly it hurts my brain.  Hence the notepad......I just can't keep all my ideas safe in my brain.  I'm forgetful.

PROJECT: TINY HOME 101

Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Lazy River, Gardiner NY

Welcome to Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in beautiful upstate NY.  This is where my sister and I stayed for three nights this past weekend in order to attend the 2014 Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck, NY.  We had a wonderful time during our stay there.  The Catskill mountains are breathtakingly beautiful.  We were lucky enough to travel across the Hudson river several times and the western view from the Kingston Bridge was gorgeous.  We met some great people during our stay at Yogi's and saw some

Country Living Magazine Fair in Rhinebeck NY...

I've got to say Country Living Magazine had it right when they said "Get Ready for the Coolest CL Fair Ever!"  W O W doesn't even describe the event!  I was dizzy from looking at all the great finds there.  I literally had to stop and rest a few times.  My sister and I clocked many miles on foot over the course of the three day event.  Barns and barns of

Blogger withdrawals...

Ok, just so everyone knows...it's not that I've become lazy that I haven't posted in exactly one month.  I have to blame this on Microsoft.  I loved Windows XP!!  Why did you have to sunset this operating system?  My hands aren't completely tied, however.  But, blogging on a tablet.....not the easiest way to get it done.  I will be back on a keyboard as soon as my new OS is happily residing in my desktop.
 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Gettin' crafty....

Inspiration from the internet.....thanks goes out to "Suzys Artsy Craftsy Sitcom"...Google her and see what I learned from her.  I have been going over and over so many ideas to cover the ceiling in my travel trailer, and when I found Suzy and her tin tiles, I was in love!  The artwork in the impressions and the metallic paint on them is simply stunning!  Mine, however, will be "tin".  I like the look for my space....and if I choose to paint them later on down the road, I can.

After much consideration of the extensive time it would take for me to cut and style 4" tiles to cover the entire ceiling in the camper, I decided on a bigger platform....disposable aluminum cookie sheets to hold six 4" "tiles" on one sheet.  I like how they are coming out.  I also like the fact that the ceiling will be covered in much less time (aside from my procrastination).
