My hands are HOT
It's been a terrible week for me. I can't knit - non of my friends called me this week and no one to hang out with in Idaho. So I was stuck with a book. I sneak knit in the morning because by 9-10am it starts getting warm and then it gets to the point I can't knit any longer. Yarn and I do not get along in the heat. Never have never will. And this weekend was super quiet because I think everyone else in the world is pouting right along with me....
They say it's going to start getting cooler tomorrow and boy I could us that right now!! I have 9 pairs of mitten done - 5 of which are for sale and the others are for donation to our Charities. I really try to divide the products because we'll we need to make the money and it's our way to also give back. I had so much yarn this summer and even had a ton given to me BUT would you believe I am almost out. Which is a good that it was so hot this week because next week I'd be whining about not having any yarn to work with and so do you see a pattern that "I am a good for nothing whiner"....
This summer is almost done and we'll be heading back to our winter stay. I can't wait for a number of reasons - Jorge and I joke that we will run the moment the rig is parked first hugs and then for the shower - yes a stand up shower... No we don't stink - it's just this summer we have to shower in a unique position (there a deleted moment that I encourage you all to do). We are shopping for a newer used rig as we speak. Next summer if we are asked back will be a much easier shower situation for us lol...
Ok so back to knitting... It's just been one of those weeks where you feel like the world is against you in every direction. Your wrong when you are right or your right when you are wrong... So in honor of my whining here are some pictures....
But first....

Whining - Whining - and plenty more of that if I was aloud to.... LOL

Jorge pass the Test. Sewing up a Storm Now.
The one thing we learned is to have the utmost communication with ALL of our customers. Treat them as you would want to be treated.
The Charity dress that Jorge did had this to say:
pillowblessings
We do joke around with the dolls - telling them what's in store for them - and well Trixie will be working over time starting Monday and lucky Reese is only working part-time. You have to be silly when it comes to crafting - it should be fun otherwise "What's the Point". Besides we are fun folks!!

The colors, the workmanship...everything...PERFECT. You 2 are awesome. I tweeted you also...as soon as I get a check after the 1st from my office...I will order more roll ups. I can't wait for the Hospital and the orphanage to get these. I fund all of this myself so right now just to keep up with sending the seamstresses fabric and all...I am working non stop. It's my passion though and no matter what, I will do this :) I am also taking on a new project that I haven;t posted yet in Los Angeles, Holy Cross Trauma Center...it never ends...lol
Hugs to ya both <3
Imagine doing what Karen does all from your own pocketbook - truly an amazing person... Please be sure to check out her web site: www.sweetpillowblessing.org and see how you can team up with her or to at least send her email mail and tell her how great she is. We look forward ourselves working with her...
So yesterday Jorge did his demo dresses for the BIG contract he has with another customer in who I have to state for the record has beyond awesome communication (56 emails between us - AWESOME and what we like) and from every step knows what she wants... She loved the demo dresses (and her favorite is the green dress as it is also mine - however Jorge's favorite is the purple one) and they are now up for sale in our store. Here they are....
And today Jorge is working - he routine until Monday will be 2 full complete outfits and 1 main dress for the store. Then Monday he'll do more - his goal is 5 but that has to be in between customer checking in - but I got that covered because I will be outside with my computer working on my work and I can wait on customers as they come in... No one can say we are lazy that's for sure... Multi tasked is the key we have to live by and acting like a team and being in sync is our secret.
Hugs to ya both <3

Trixie gets to know Jorge
Today is the day we get to open the box and feel/pet and aww's at the fabric Jorge gets to work with. And then it's measuring Trixie's body from head to toe. Trixie's body is nothing like Reese's body at all. Trixie is a classic a 1958 remade in 2007 where Reese is a modern 2009. There is slight difference in the measurements but they bodies are a bit different as far as feel is concerned. Trixie is a rubber while Reese is a plastic feel. Makes a huge difference on how you make the dress.
We love Trixie's hair style and we have decided she is going to photograph very well and we are happy to work with her. We now wish to share day one of Jorge's important contract (lol he says of his life - nah the customer is awesome to work with).
Jorge is making a demo dress first and if it passes then it becomes my job to cut all the dresses patterns (30 of them 10 in each fabric) out and then he can begin his work. We hope he can push 5 a day (remember folks he has RA but that won't knock him down he welcomes the challenge) he says maybe more - of course weather has a huge impact because while he is working on the demo dress it is 101 inside the rig and on cooler days he'll be able to work faster - but we have plenty of time for this order and no need to rush - a rush order is a messy order. This week will be a hot for us so things will be on the slow side but at least I can cut patterns outside and that is half the battle of the work!!

| Trixie came to us naked but this is a family blog and so we put a outfit on her... |
 |
| Demo work first for any customer - it would stink to make a huge order and it is not what the customer wanted.. Jorge loves his customers and treats them right!! |
 |
| You will have to wait a day or two to see what is next!! Got to keep you coming back don't we? |

Jorge does Charity Work
We are so excited to announce that Jorge was hired by Sweet Pillow Blessings to design a Barbie Dress to be model by one lucky Barbie Doll our of 300 Barbies the owner has. What is so unique about these dresses (one of which we donated to make and she purchase the other) is that they are in the colors of her web site. I can't show off the dress yet because they are in the mail and I want her to see her items first and then I will share on here. Jorge was so honored to have done this (even more so after reading their entire WEB page).
We can all make a difference if we just had an "ounce" of compassion - really that's all it takes and from what I had seen and heard of sweet pillow blessing is that they have "TONS" of compassion to share but still need our help and support. So stop over and check them out and see how you can help.
If it's something you just don't have the time or money - just post their web site on your web page/facebook/blog. She found us on Twitter and right now I am beyond thrilled at Twitter for pairing us up!!
You can also copy this picture and link this picture to her org and place on your blog - we sure would love to help be a part of spreading the word.
So check back by the weekend and see what Jorge did!! It's so cute and I know for a fact my friend Holly (from Mission Montana) is so going to freak because not only is she a wonderful person but she is very much in the same league is Sweet Pillow Blessings and God Bless ALL...

Moose visits Crafters
As many of you know I am up everyday at 3:45am and normally I work in bed while Jorge gets some more sleep. On few occasion he's wake up along with me. Today was one of those days and so I sat at our table next to the window to work this morning. See who came to visit??? AMAZING!!
We have so many new items to share with you in the next couple of days and I am sorry we haven't been able to blog as much as we'd like to. Our electricity comes from a ginny that requires a lot of gas and we are trying as might to keep the budget low this summer. You know the old story!! but I promise you we have been crafting up a storm and I am happy to report that Jorge my wonderful husband has been picking up custom orders in which we are so thankful for. Enjoy the moose and be sure to check back for updates on our current projects...

Spotlight on The Crafty RVers
Many of you might have noticed the growing trend of younger, still-working RVers who have chosen not to wait until retirement to achieve their road trip dreams. One couple I recently connected with has figured out how to live full-time on the road while bringing in a steady income. And while they make sure there’s plenty of time in their schedule for outdoor adventures, they also carve out time to give back to the community too.
Jorge and Evielynne Sanchez met in Utah when Evielynne attended Brigham Young’s law program. They fell in love, got married and moved to Miami, Florida to be closer to family. But their life in Miami wasn’t all that they had hoped for. "Not seeing each other for more than an hour a day after our jobs," says Evielynne, "was tearing at our marriage." They both agreed--it was time for a change.
We'd like to personally thank Erin who is a wonderful wonderful person. Funny, helpful and a big fan... The kindness Erin has should be in every SOUL...
