Today's Table

I'm still working on that secret project I've mentioned.

Hopefully all will be revealed soon! 

Today's Table

Gosh, it's been ages since I've been here in Blogland! Work on the wheelie house continues, as does regularly scheduled arty stuff. We're also putting together a special fundraising project that we're hoping to reveal within the next week or so. (So excited about this!) And doing taxes. (Yuck.) Anyway, here's a peek at this morning's shenanigans. . .

This big batch of teeny-dollies-in-the-works is so cute I just wanna eat 'em like cookies!

Wheelie House Update

Back in February we bought a used RV that'll we're turning into a mobile studio in which we'll live and work while traveling around in search of new views. I've been meaning to post pics and tell you all how it's going, but I'm just now getting around to it. We've been steadily working on it in all our extra minutes. Dylan has done lots and lots of behind-the-walls sorts of things, and lots of tearing-down-walls sorts of things. More about all that later.

Anyway, we started by taking off all the cupboard doors. All 25 of them. But only 14 or so are going back in. So they're all stacked up waiting for me to paint them. I already painted all the hinges though, and all the little screws that hold the hinges. More about that later too.

Here's the before (and current) picture of the fold-out couch. There will be a slipcover in the not-too-distant future. And big pillows. Lots of pillows.

Dylan has been in charge of demolition/electrical/propane/water/toilet stuff. So mostly it's been all Dylan so far, although I have done my fair share of screw removal. He'll bring me in when all that functional stuff is done and it's time for making things look nice, which I hope will be really really really soon. Here are some more before and current pics. This first one looks towards the bedroom from the front of the RV.

The kitchen.

The former fridge, and the empty space that awaits a new fridge.

 The former bathroom, and the mess that awaits. . . well, everything.

It doesn't look like progress is being made. In fact, it kinda looks like we're just making a big fat mess, but Dylan assures me that there's method to his madness. We'll know our little wheelie house inside and out when all is said and done. In the meantime, there have been many unwelcome discoveries along the way. The lamest of which is the water damage hiding in all sorts of places. And a horrible poop-related discovery that I won't go in to right now. The most interesting discoveries included a mouse nest, and three hornet nests.

Today, I patched holes and spackled stuff. Tomorrow we start painting the kitchen/studio/living room! We're hoping to do some sort of fundraiser really soon so that we can finish the back half too. We have about 2 and a half months to finish and move in. Tick tock!
