May for Me Saturday

Well we are 2 sleeping nights from leaving Oregon. We hit the road Monday morning. And today it's about putting stuff away and sorting things out - FUN!!

Jorge's winter boss has invited us over for dinner and we are thrilled. Jorge of course is like a little kid when it comes to food - even our friends know this (Sue our friend sent Jorge for his birthday 2lbs of fudge - pan size fudge and peanut brittle to last a year in normal terms but for Jorge is lasted no more then 2 weeks) and so often he gets treat packages via snail mail - SPOILED he is.

So today I will post pictures (and I am so sorry I used Jorge's camera - mine is really starting not to work because of the camp host last season dropping it - errrrr but it wasn't her fault but the other person who caused it - ERRRRRRRRRRRRR lets not go there).

May for Me Barbie's Q & A

Q: Who are you?
A: My name is Reese (after Reese Witherspoon - for her beautiful blonde hair)

Q: So Reese, What brought you here to "May for Me"?
A: Well you see, I work for Jorge Sanchez. I model his outfits for him.

Q: Can you tell us a little about "May for Me"?
A: Well if you CLICK HERE you can read all about and sign up for their $20 gift card giveaway but I
     can tell you this much. It's keeping me employed. And I am so thankful for "May for Me"

Q: How long have you worked for Mr. Sanchez?
A: Lets see it's gone so fast now - I think about 2 months now. And LOL you can call him Jorge   everyone does.

Q: What is a typical day like for you?
A: Well, very simple and basic. I sleep in this wonderful container that's labeled Reese - see I am a top model and I have my own label (like the stars with their names on their doors). And when Jorge is ready for me to work I change into a lot of gorgeous outfits. I eat in between shots and take breaks whenever I want.

Q: What do you do when your not modeling clothes?
A: I read a lot - right now I'm reading this wonderful book called



It's a really good book and every girl under the age of 10 should have one...

Q: So you like to read?
A: I do and if you click the barbie amazon link you can get it at very good price.

Q: So your not only smart but thrifty too?
A: Well yes, Jorge pays me well but there are bills I have to pay like, gas, food, clothes and just every day wants and needs.

Q: Why did you leave your last job?
A: Well there are labor laws and just plain didn't like the way they treated their employees - here it's the best job I've ever had.

Q: What experience do you have in this field?
A: Watching TV

Q: Watching TV? Explain to us how this works.
A: Well have you ever seen the movie Mannequin? Well Jonathan Switcher who is played by my all time favorite actor Andrew McCarthy - who is a sexy dream boat. Well he falls in love with the Mannequin and I just pretend to be her.

Q:What is your philosophy towards work?
A: Well, I see how hard my boss and his wife Evielynne works and I always keep that in my head when I am working. If I do my best then they succeed and that means for a better check. I like how they work together and are always praising each other on their projects.

Q: Are you single? Married? Looking?
A: It's sad to say this out loud but yes I am single and yes I am looking. I know Evielynne is friends with this cool guy name Ken and she said soon we'll meet.

Q: Really? What do you plan on wearing when you meet this Ken?
A: Don't know my boss is making a designer dress just for the occasion.

Well Reese this has been one of the best interviews I've ever done. You are a lovely doll in every form. It's been a lot of fun talking to you. Now can I ask you to pose for the May for Me blog article?
A: I would be so honored! thanks for asking and can I just add that this has been a lot of fun for me too. I thought the interview would be more about my favorite color (which by the way is yellow) my favorite number and those sort of silly questions. Thank you this has been so much fun.

And here are some fantastic photo prints of the lovely Reese. I hope that you Facebook and Twitter this interview. Do post a question for Reese in the comment form and she'll be sure to answer them back!!

Crocheting Something New

Mrs Chicken Pants - and yes we are talking about me.... Tried something new today.  People ask me all the time if I crochet toys and such. And my answer has always been "As if" lol I am so insecure about my abilities in creating anything new when it comes to yarns. But I do try at a very snail like pace lol...

"MAY FOR ME" is coming up and I am trying to get all of my patterns in place and pre-doing projects so that they go smooth for the whole month. I figured Barbie Clothes would be something easy to do and well it just isn't. Not for a beginner like me that is.

I haven't gotten my bins yet and so I am trying to fill my time with getting custom orders done and fitting in fun time where I can learn these new things. I will admit today was a chore for me. Mentally I kept telling myself - "Nope can't do it" & "Nope I suck"

So here is what I suck at....


Well not a total bust but certainly in need for some major practicing. These will go up for sale tonight at http://www.etsy.com/shop/mrscraftyrving and maybe someone in the etsy world will think I am a genius with the crocheting hook - one can only hope... 

I have a feeling in May I will be pumping out some cool new things - all toy themes... I've always wanted to learn how to make handmade crochet/knitted toys. The time it takes to make them and the love it takes for someone to buy them all equals true treasures....

ETSY FEATURE OF THE DAY:
$27.99 and 16 items for sale
Joined ETSY March 01, 2011       

This store is a major fan of vintage. Rule of thumb for vintage is anything that's over 20 years old. I guess I am 2 times vintage - lol... But do check out this cute store and tell them MrsCraftyRVing said hello....

QUESTION OF THE DAY:
How old where you when you got your first Barbie or Ken doll?
Would love to hear (I was 10 - I know older but I just wasn't into dolls - kind of am now)...

Handmade Barbie Doll Clothes

I am one happy cookie right now. We have completed another bucket list for our goal in trying out in the crafting world. No and not with yarn - YET... But with our sewing machine.

I do sew but today it was all about Jorge and his machine. See he doesn't think about little kids and how the kids world of merchandise sells quicker and
better then any ole boring adult stuff. And that we need to get with the program.

And so he has started.... Today is just a simple pattern just so we can the product out there showing the world that is can be done by MrCraftyRVing... Of course we posted on FaceBook just to see if anyone notice and we had some comments already which is always a great thing.

But here is the kicker - one of the three pictures below is a of a dress I made... LOL bet you didn't know I knew how to sew. It's just easier to let Jorge do all the sewing so I can do all the knitting/crochet/computer stuff. He's much quicker then I am...

So grand-daughters, daughters, friends, little people it's almost Easter time and by then we'll have a grand selection of them... BUT we seem to be mastering in custom orders - so if your looking for a certain pattern, style or color - we are your people.... Any one who buy 5 or more at one time will receive a discount code to use in your check out - however do email me first on etsy to get this code. If no code then no discount and that is only for orders over 5...

But the blog is to tell you how proud and excited I am to announce that we now have Barbie Doll clothes to our line of products... Soon we'll have diaper covers, bigger doll clothes for baby dolls and cocoons for newborn prop pictures that seem to be the only way babies make their debut to the world. Maybe we'll have to take an online program about business, or better yet, just get some pointers from
Marketing Degree Online.com.
