Thanks Powderfinger

Very excited today!!!

We are fortunate to have tickets to Powderfinger's very very last concert at the Brisbane Riverstage tonight (thanks Sean).

We have wanted to see them for ages- our first and last all rolled into one.

Can't wait....

More inside shots of Vincent

Looking into the kitchen from the bed

Saturday show and share. Caravan Love

Here are some 'inside' shots of Vincent the caravan.

I redecorated with orange gingham curtains, brown bed linen and orange spotty pillowcases.
We also had plenty of orange accessories to go with the orange and brown theme.
(plates, cups, blankets, towels, washers, tea towels)
Yep I went a bit overboard with the 'refurbishment'.
You couldn't miss us in any caravan park (even hiding under a massive tarp).

When we bought Vincent I hadn't learnt how to make quilts or crochet.
Gosh the possibilities are endless..........

This book by Jane Field-Lewis and Chris Haddon is full of vintage caravan inspiration.
Plenty of ideas for Vincent in here.

Some brown and orange bunting would have looked nice.

A crocheted rug would have suited him well.

Our first Caravan

"Vincent Viscount"

Here is our first caravan. 

How cute is he?

How fabulously retro is the colour scheme.

More photos to come but he was orange and brown on the inside too.

A gorgeous chap from Hervey Bay did a wonderful job 'renovating' him inside and out.

I revelled in 'redecorating' him on the inside.

We bought him to see if we liked the whole caravanning/ camping thing.

We naturally fell in love with it.

Sadly we found Vincent a bit to small and the setup to time consuming.

He only had one double bed inside so Hubby had to set up a big annex with walls, cover it with tarp, put up bunk beds etc etc.

Vincent went to a good home but I do miss him.

He was a character.

I loved Peanuts as a child.

It still makes me chuckle.

My Creative space

My creative space today is end of year Teacher's presents.

My process has been held up by my boys lack of 'investigative skills'.

IE "Find out in a discreet manner what your teacher's favourite colour is" is perhaps to hard.
It turned into "Ask your teacher her favourite colour today please". Still waiting.......

For Ella's teacher, crochet 'something' to be added.....????
