Evening everyone. Just awoke from a much needed nap, a five hour nap to be precise.
I must have really needed the rest. The big dogs kept vigil the whole time. They were thrilled to finally get outside. Knowing they guard even when nature calls is very calming for me.

How is everyone this evening? Galahad, did you imagine my bus was a VW? It would probably be a easier project because of size, but I planned on living in it full time. Before my heart surgery I thought it was doable. Now I don't know. Leaving here next month, so that will be the acid test. My little pack has increased from two to four. So this will be very interesting traveling with them.

When I have access to a computer again I will post more photos from my adventure.

Hi Lofters!

Nice to pop in here again and see all the posts. How is everyone?

I caught a cold and am taking care to keep it from turning into anything else.

Anyone have interesting plans for the weekend? I might go to a BBQ Sunday.

Galahad · 07-26-2013, 06:18 PM

Friday, hope all you have a good weekend planned.
SweetBliss, I thought it was more of an rv. I love bus conversions, but that is a lot of work, it's Beautiful though. Take it easy if you can, that long nap might mean you still need to rest and heal. However, we do what we have to. I know heart trouble puts lots of dents in our dreams.
Have fun at the barbecue Licious.
I'm listening to a three cat pile up snoring right now, one will move and then the snoring switches to another, once all three snored in unison for a few seconds. Nothing like life, watching brain cells die.

Hey Lofters,

How are you all? Not much going on here, just recovering health wise and taking care of the kitties etc. Weather dandy of course.

Our city has its annual Old Spanish Days, we call it Fiesta. Four days of locals and 600k tourists drinking margaritas, listening to mariache bands, watching flamenco dancing, and a huge equestrian parade.

I don't really attend it much, too crowded, lol.

What's everyone up to?

Happy Sunday lofters. What's every one up to today? Me? Five foot three, that's me!

Oh, let's see, it's hot muggy uggy outside, I scored a wall cupboard with a hidden ironing board inside. It's dirty and ugly but not for long. Just cleaned it, gonna cool off, then paint interior, let dry, then line with wall paper. It's gorgeous with fancy design, cream and white, luscious.

Then will add shelves, cork panels and maybe a small mirror. Will be part of my Femme cave redo. Did you know that Medusa started a Femme cave thread? Check it out. I bumped it, should be easy to find.

We should start a revolution and claim our sacred space

Who's with me?

Bought a gorgeous sink stand, black, for a kitchen, has wide shelf on bottom perfect for large decorative baskets or boxes. Or kitty nap place. Now I can get rid of other less attractive cabinets.

Morning peepers, where is everyone? I'm busy as usual. Ran out of insulation for ceiling. Am bummed. Need one more package to finish.

Now I can concentrate on fixing the inside. I need inspiration, so I will pull out my eye candy mags to inspire my creative flow. Wrestled my black cabinet in, it's going to look fabulous with baskets on the bottom shelf. So chic white trash. Wabi Sabi this. Found the cutest kitchen towels, will think about getting for camper kitchen. May go back to SAM'S and get the bright green towels. Or just make my own. Need counter top for black cabinet. Would prefer to make my own tiles, but don't have studio space.

Have a great curly grapevine that I will use as a towel rack. Will look so rustic. Going to hang curtains today, wash windows. Finish some cafe curtains if I can figure out if sewing machine works. Should just buy a new one but I'm frugal .... aka tight.

Okie dokie y'all chat with you later!
