Jorge and his package

What an exciting day today. Woke up to having coffee served to me in bed... Got my work done in the nick of time. Forgot to eat breakfast (bad girl I am). Finished up a beanie hat and by then it was 10:30 am and we headed outside to work in the yard for our winter work. About 2pm the boss came with mail for us and here is where it gets good. Jorge got beads!! Thank you so very much Kelli.

Kelli had emailed us a ways back asking if Jorge wanted her beads because she no longer needed them and oh course we are foaming at the mouth and that yes we'd be happy to take them. We just didn't know it was a ton of beads. This helps our budget big time and the beads are beyond beautiful and will be used for sure. It was a great surprise!! See the wonderful beads she sent Jorge. He'll start working with them next week.

So being super happy and blessed by super good friends lets get on to our feature...

Workshop Table in Almost Use

I woke up this morning feeling a lot better. It's amazing what sleep can do for you. And so my 3 things I do first thing in the morning are. Coffee, ETSY, Email (and in that order too)... I am so not kidding when I say that.

So the coffee of course was and is good. No sales with ETSY but some activity. And an overload in my emails - the norm. BUT I have to share with you an email I received from one of my followers from this blog. I love it when I get a request or a question whenever dealing with the blogs.

She asked me about my table. How do I manage to work in such a small rig. She pointed out that sewing is a challenge for her in her motorcoach (that's like triple the size of my rig easy). And storage is a problem.

And so as I was getting ready to email her back I said a quick thank-you to http://www.csnofficefurniture.com/ because I would be pulling my hair out and just having a daily melt down. You see I have a fold up table that is just beyond perfect for RV folks like me who need the work space but can't afford the leg room in our tiny but fun home "OUR MOTORHOMES".... Here is what I am talking about

You will notice this table is higher which makes it more workable for us sewers and such. Jorge of course you know is a beader and can sit on the couch and use the table and view the tellie and watch movies while he works.

And get this - duh for us you can take the table outside and work out in the natural sun light which makes the whole crafting world open up along with our eyes - lol...

Beth: Go to the link I posted above and check them out - they have a ton of office desks and  tables for every household you can think of. And with you being a teacher I do know they are having a sale on their Collapsible Crates (under $10). But I would defiantly check out their tables - I think we paid like $60-70 I can't remember it's been awhile).

But for the rest of you the store is pretty cool - it has everything you can imagine. With Spring just next week I know the sales are going on - we need to get an RV friendly lamp for Jorge so he can work on his beading at night - the RV lights installed are not the greatest by far and so we need to some shopping for him.

I am going to save the ETSY Feature for later - I will be back on later to blog but wanted to let Beth know that I do answer emails and will do anything for my readers. Let me know what you buy at MY store of choice in the comment form.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:

At the web link I provided which is the best buy you found?

Let me know in the comment form so I can check it out - believe me your comments can help other people out so don't be shy about telling us.

Loom Out FREE patterns

Yesterday I was going through our supplies and getting a wish list, when my husband says "Do I get to do a wish list"? ummmm OK - sure. So he got right to work cleaning out his bins of beads, fabric and sewing kit (that is right my husband is crafty - you'd be surprise how many men craft and if a man makes fun of them for it - then well too bad). So I am looking at Jorge's list and I see the standard stuff, beading needles, fabric, patterns and then I see the word loom...
LOL we have so many looms in the RV and he wants to add to it. Well it does make sense looming comes easy for him and having Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) he can put the project down any time his hands start to hurt.
My favorite loom he has is my loom in which I have never been able to use. He does 90% of all of his beading on it now. He has 3 jewelry beading loom. Here is a sample of the current project he's working on.
