Week One Complete.

     We have been situated in a RV Park for one week.  There have been a few hiccups but all in all it has been most enjoyable.  We have met a few of the neighbors and they seem very pleasant.

     We have built a deck and porch to make the 5th wheel seem more like a permanent structure.
My husband is very happy to be able to build a deck, when we owned homes he would always build a deck or an addition to the existing deck every spring.  He does beautiful work and it really makes the small RV site seem more homey.

    I have started sewing so we really must be getting settled.  I have always had a HUGE sewing room, so it is very different in the 5th wheel.  I have to get everything out of the cupboard, set it up on the kitchen table, find a place to set up my new miniature ironing board and get down on the floor to cut things out.  I really think this will be okay though it will push me to finish things quicker and be more organized so I don't quit in the middle of a project by getting distracted with looking for some material in my material treasure box, I always find a piece of material I had forgotten about and I start thinking about what I could make with my new discovery instead of finding the piece I was looking for and getting on with the original project.  I am presently working on a baby quilt for my niece.  I am experimenting with appliqueing a page from a cloth book onto the quilt.  In my imagination  the quilt will be amazing, let's hope my imagination is right!

     We are living very close to the Canada U.S.A border so went shopping in Ferndale Washington yesterday.  The shopping trip made us more aware of the storage space in the fridge, we really had to limit our purchases as there just is not enough room to put the amount of food we normally buy. Oh well just have to buy less more often, I don't have a problem with that!

Until next time.
