Our "StayCation"  as my husband calls it when you don't actually sleep away from the house. Really turned out to be a Stay home Vacation. LOL! Hubby has to take 3 weeks vacation in the next month and a half or he looses the time. No pay no carry over.  But good thing is he get 5 more weeks in Sept.  But cant use those till after March of 2012. So this week, as you know.  He has been home,  So

Hey y'all,   I'm glad the new year is here.  I'm determined to spend more time in my pup even if its Camp back yard.  I'm going to spend more time in the pup. We kind of have plans to go primitive camping this weekend. But my husband has that nasty bug that is going around,  so he isn't  feeling all that great.  So might just have to make it next weekend.  But in the mean time.  We pulled the

We made our first booked Camping trip.  And that was at Fort Desoto.  We live about an hour away and have been going to Ft. Desoto for the 25 years we have been married, and I have been going there since I was a little girl. But do you know, I have never, ever camped there.  So I was super excited to be camping there. In fact. We have always stayed in a hotel on St. Pete beach for our

We are getting ready for our first camping trip of the year.  And in this hot Florida weather, Your cooler fights to stay cold even in the shade. I know last year, we must have bought 20 bags of ice over our weekend trip.  So Im trying this out to see if it helps. I sewed a Thermal cooler cover for our big white Igloo cooler. So this is how I made it. Pick out the cooler you want to use, I

My Hubby asked me to make him new decals for his 95' Ford F150 as all his only decals were faded and cracked. So he wanted a Snook and a Red fish.  So I designed these and cut them out of Silver Outdoor vinyl what is rated for 6 years.  I think they turned out great with all the details and He loved them, Scraped off the old ones and I put these on. Looks alot better. Now he wants a Bass and

When we replaced the old 85' Canvas on the pup.  The Evolution material was totally shot.  But all the canvas was in excellent shape.  But since most of the thing was the Evolution material. We just purchased a totally new All Canvas.  I decided to keep the good parts as I figured there would be some thing I could use it for.  And yep, I did. I used the top canvas backed vinyl from the top of

I bought a DO last Oct at Harbor Freight.  And had not used it yet.   So today, I talked the hubby in to raising the pup enough to flip the galley and dig out the DO.   Man, it was nice to see the inside of the pup again, LOL! Okay, so since this was my first try, I looked up every thing on the net.  And tried to follow directions, the best I could. So. I usually work with propane with my

I almost forgot to take todays pictures, It is now 4 weeks today, we put in the garden. Most of the stuff is growing good.  We had to plant a few corn that didnt come up..  And of course the new soaked over nite peas, have been replanted and are just starting to come up. I was worried what I would go out to this morning as we had one heck of a storm last night, Wow, I have never seen so much

How does your garden grow? Mine is growing pretty good. It has now been in 2 weeks as of yesterday.  And I took a picture to show you how its doing. This is my hubbys pride and joy. Every night he comes home, says hello, changes his clothes and runs out to water his garden. He planted some more bulbs yesterday.  So im a few months, Im going to have stuff popping up all over the place.  I had to

Made this sign to display at the campground next to the pup. Pine with rounded corners, 4 coats of poly with light sanding between each coat. I designed the picture and Names and cut out of Outdoor vinyl on my KNK groove. The lamp post is a design I found on my favorite camper group. Using PVC and solar light at top. And painting with spray paint for plastic. I think it turned out great. Est.

Could it be? It is! It Is!!!Its a squirrel in the bird feeder. I'm so excited because I had a bunch of squirrels at my old house and when we moved here, I built a clear glass feeder like I had at my old house. I put corn and peanuts in there, and for over a year the food sat in the feeder. So for 2 more years, no squirrels. Now, after 3 years. DH tells me he thinks he see on on the fence

He has been a wonderful pet, always sleeps on my pillow and hugs up to my head when I'm sick. Yesterday he became suddenly ill, so we took him to the vet today, Dr. Mark said, he is a old

For the past few weeks, I have had trouble breathing, its been very shallow and I get really winded and tired after very short walks, and have had several episodes in the past few weeks where I couldn't breath and had really bad chest pains, But after 30 minutes of laying down, they went away.I decided to go to the doctor 2 weeks ago, and they sent me for xrays and a PFT breathing test, then for

After 2 weeks post opt, he still had lots of swelling and fluid behind the device down in the ear drum. 3 Weeks later, he is doing better and got his device turn on to make sure its receiving transmission. The next week, they turn on the device so he can start hearing. The first week was every exciting for him. He heard all

After almost 2 whole weeks of rain every day. This past weekend was beautiful. So DH popped the pup and we did some mods. We made this awesome awning for the back of the pup. It provides shade on that side, and also allows you to keep your windows open on the back when it rains. The tarp is brown but its hard to tell in the pic as it was really sunny. Next Mod was to move the water drain for

Pop up has a new coat of paint. It was painted with outdoor semi gloss latex. And it collected dirt and when you wiped it off, the dirt would just smear. So Hubby painted it with Rustoleum Gloss White Enamel and a foam roller. This turned out great. It's a bright white color. It now has a glossy sheen to it, and the best part, Dirt wipes right off. Next was the pinstripes and Decals. We

Enough about gardening. We went camping at EG Simmons park April 10-12, It was a bad weekend, it was spring break here, and Easter weekend as well, But it was the only weekend, my daughter had off of school and work. We called on Wed, they were booked for the whole week, they told us to call back on Thursday. So we did, we called at 9am, 11am, and 12pm, They said, they might have a few check

I planted 2 kinds of cucumbers, the one in the other SWC. (Self Watering Continer "5 Gallong bucket") Im not sure if its a cucumber or a weed. I need to investigate and see what it is. Its strange looking, the stems are red, the leaves are long skinny green with a dark spot in the middle of the leaf. And has a off white flower sprig thing on the top. Is this a weed. If so, none of those seeds

Excited to see if it grows big.Every year I try and grow some thing new. This year, there are several. So far, Cabbage, Zucchini, Onions, Cucumbers,Potatoes.My garden gets a little bigger every year.

As I said in a previous post, the garden is growing slow. But we picked a few of the things ready to help it produce more. We got a big bowl of green beans. They are all trimmed, blanched and in the freezer. I love the "Reynolds Handi Vac". They work great for freezing veggies and getting all the air out. Its a cheaper option then a food sealer machine. Watch the video on that link. We also

I learned some thing new today about Zucchini. I have never grown it before so when I seen that the flowers were just falling off, like some one took scissors and snipped them off. I went looking on the internet for a cause and treatment. Well, turns out, that's normal for them to fall off. You see, Zucchini has male and female flowers. When the male opens to release pollen, it falls off. As

The garden is slow growing, with the cold fronts that come and go and with the heavy water restrictions here in Florida. The garden is growing very slow but we picked the first fruits of the field yesterday.We tried some thing new this year, the weeds were getting out of control and with mine and DH medical problems, pulling weeds is just to much, so we tried some thing and it seems to be

Well, after 5 months of restoration, replacing every thing, and spending 8 hours last night trying to get the lights to work right. My brother tried several different plugs, redid the plug on the TV (Tow Vehicle) nothing worked, ran to Walmart, bought a totally new trailer wire kit with new back lights, (those were the only ones we didn't replace). Got the wires ran in the trailer frame so you

Before total restoration (you have to see the big picture)Well, the inside is just about done. A few little things to tweek like buy another curtain rod because one I bought had 2 left brackets, Geez! And make one more curtain for the small window. The pup isnt all the way up in these pics as its under a carport canopy, so you dont get the full view, and you can see the canvas is not tight. We

No really, I bought one today, we are done with the total restoration of the 85' Coleman pop up. Now we are planing for some mods. We have decided to build a bathroom in the pup. So I will make it so that later I can add a shower. I found a great deal online at JCWhitney. This is the largest self contained Porta Potti. It has a 4 gallon freshwater tank and a 5.5 gallon used tank. And is easy

I made this file in my KNK Maxx software. Its a paper piecing of my pup up. Some day, I will scapbook a picture of our first camping trip with our newly renovated Vintage pup up. If you are interested in a KNK cutter, Contact Sandy McCauley. She has the best support out there for these and other machines. Sorry about the water mark name on my pics, I have had some rude people trace my files

We have been moving right along so thought I would catch up the blog. Still need to update the Webshots.Got all the stickers and pin striping off, sanded, washed, Primer and 2 coats of External Latex Semi Gloss house paint (White). Okay, so I didn't stick to the original color, of Tan, I thought it looked old being tan, I mean, it is old/vintage (1985), but it don't look old now that it has

We finished the kitchen part of the renovation. Actually, we are about done, but this is the kitchen part. We had to replace the board the top cabinet sits on, it was totally rotted. I covered it with wood grain contact paper. I called 3M, they said, it would stick to bare wood and would not come off. We will see about that. We had to make a counter top as there was not one at all. The sink was

My 10 year old Sheltie mix "Pepper", Had surgery today. He has had a non cancerous lump (lipoma) under his right arm for about a year. The vet said not to worry about it unless it grew and caused him problems. Well, in the past 3 weeks it has tripled in size. And he was having trouble breathing. We went to the vet last Friday, and they said it had to come out. So they did surgery and found not

We have been working on the outside of the pup now. We had the hardest time finding what we needed. We were looking for a 3M strip off wheel. Read about it Here. Make sure if you buy this one by 3M, you get the mandrel with it. I went to Napa, their system showed they had Item 7498 (which comes with the mandrel). So I ordered it, waited, when it came in, it didn't have the mandrel. But all their

My first fruit tree is a Meyer Lemon Tree. I love Lemonade and always wanted a lemon tree. So I found this one at Walmart. Its about 2.5 feet tall and already has blossoms and a few super tiny beginnings of a lemon. It was $11.My friend Jill has these trees and she juices them and freezes the juice in Ice cube trays and makes lemonade. She gave me a bunch of lemons from her last trip to the

This is my first try with growing potatoes. I don't know if they will produce as I read you need seed potatoes. But I had a few that were growing Eyes. So, I figured I would try these. I cut the each potato so that each part had at least 2 eyes growing and let them sit for several days for the cut to cure. I then put 2 inches of dirt, then the potatoes, and just covered with dirt.

I think I mentioned before, I was trying gardening in SWC's . Well, its going pretty good with the first sets. I made 20 and only used a couple so far. I tried carrots in one of these as last year, we couldn't till the garden deep enough for the carrots and they grew crooked. So with the deeper tiller, it shouldn't be a problem. So we planted some in ground as well. You see, Carrots need

Last weekend we bought a bigger tiller, the small one was good for in between the rows. Its only like 10 inches wide and only digs like 8 inches. The new one you can adjust to be 12",22" or 24" wide, and digs 12" deep. So it breaks ground really deep. And in half the time. Will use the small one to seek between the rows now so we dont have to adjust the big on. Here is a pic of the garden

Have you ever heard of a Salad table? (That's where you grow all kinds of lettuce, you go out and pick some for dinner, and it keeps grown, so you always have a fresh salad). I hadn't until I read about it on some ones blog. I cant remember who. But I decided to give it a try. I had some left over 2x4's, Chicken wire, and screen in my work shop, so basically this was a free project. I already

Remember the pics of the new flowers and tiny berries on my first strawberry plants. Here is a update. One is red, and the others aren't far behind. Now that I know I can grow them, I will plant lots next year. I hope to have the garden more organized, then it is now. Sharon

We have been working on the camper a lot the past week. We got the new tires on last week, this past weekend we put new cables on, cleaned every pulley, and sprayed with silicon spray to lube them. We also adjusted the Wiffle tree (3") so now the roof goes all the way up now, and the door should fit just fine now. Oh, and the roof is goes up a lot easier now. I cleaned all the dirt out of the

I still have a little issue on the left column touching the middle section, but nothing to really worry about I dont think.I changed the name from Creating and Gardening to Camping and Gardening, as I moved all my crafting and cutter stuff to my other new blog.

It finally feels like we are making some head way in the the camper renovations. Yesterday we got the kitchen almost done, I decided to change some things today so not done yet. Im also going to take the new board off of the bench and make it a flip up top so its easier to store stuff and not have to bend down to the floor and big, so have to work on that. We got all the side panels back on,

We finally got to work on the camper today, with being sick with a cold and it being really cold out, nothing was getting done. So today, we went and got all the parts for the Kitchen so we could finish it. The stove has been repainted and installed, the sink is in with a new drain, hoses and faucet. We by passed the fresh water storage tank as we only camp where there is water hook ups, and

Its been a while since I posted, But we have been working on the camper. We finally finished the roof today, we patched every thing, and even sealed the center seam so it wont leak again. We put 4 coats of Elastometric coat on the roof, painted the center channel, new corner caps and caulked every thing. So the Inside and Outside are now done. The only thing left is the AC insulation kit and

Several months ago I signed up for some free classes from the county extension office. Well, the day has arrived, I went this morning, and took the Compost Happens class first, it was really neat, I already know how to compost, having built my own, (and happens to be a good one to use). But I learned a lot more, we were given a folder with a bunch of information, this really cool wheel, it

How we fixed the popping sound, did I tell y'all, we took off the front to see what was going on, I just cant remember, well, here it is if I didn't, and if I already did, Im sorry for the repeat.When you turn the crank, the top chain lays on the bottom chain, and then the bottom part of the chain pops off the Sprocket, ( yes they have all their teeth), This happens because the camper is 23

Well, after camping in a tent a couple weekends ago, which wasn't all that bad, but do you realize how many people don't camp in tents any more, most have some kind of camper. So we thought about it, and being on a strict or no budget, we found a old pop up and got it for a great price, We paid $350 for it, its a 1985 Coleman Chesapeake pop up, its 11 feet long closed and 19 feet open. Its in

Just got back from our camping trip to E.G. Simmons park, We spend a lot of time there fishing, and thought camping would be fun, well, it was. Went with my husband, daughter and her boyfriend, My brother, his wife and 2 boys. We had a great time even though we had a few problems with the boat, after just getting it out of the shop and spending a ton on repairs. Took it back to the shop

I bought this Tropical Hibiscus, because I fell in love with the bright Orange color with the Deep Red throat. and you can see the veins and a little bit of a ruffle on the petals. Im still looking for the name of this plant. The color remindes me of the Sunset, the orange is so intense the picture dont do it justice. Will post when I find the name to it, Enjoy! Sharon *
