The early morning sky, in those moments before the sun fully rises, is especially pink up here. Pastel, cotton candy pink. Fluffy waves of pink above the houses. When the pink fluff fades in the east, I see pink tones in the west, even though it is a sunrise. Another interesting visual: the air here is…
Time to show pix of the finished woman cave. I already decided that in the fall I will modify the new curtains. The crisp white cotton is thin, but I can use them as the lining for a heavier fabric when the colder weather sets in. I was going for a vintage girly vibe, as…
I don’t like camping on major holidays. July 4th is especially chaotic because fireworks are legal. So, like most holidays, I am at home working some projects. Last night I finished the main sewing for the popup camper and the Woman Cave Project. This morning I remembered that I still have some pillow forms (some…
A few weeks ago I found this 25 cent pocket thingy at the thrift store. I knew immediately it would become a gadget/phone holder on the edge of my bed. I believe that the original owner folded a place mat and stitched down the pockets. Will remember that trick for later. I added a…
T-minus 21 days and counting! I leave then on my 6-week sabbatical, during which I will travel in my popup camper, Half Moon. So, time to finish up my redecorating project, which I fondly call the Woman Cave Project. A few days ago I completed the new valances. These valances are over 10 feet long…

I have not finished redecorating the camper, but getting close! Here is a photo showing my bed and the crazy dog who thinks I fixed it up for him. I found the storage boxes at a fabric store (I dislike looking at plastic storage) Here is the valance fabric. It is taking forever to…
You found me at my new site! The interior remodel (Woman Cave Project) of my popup camper has taken a back seat to the release of my book, moving Janes Journals,and ramping up Antelope Alley Publishing (www.antelopealley.com). AAP will help others who want to publish, and I am excited about the interest I am getting. I…
I was not able to get the slipcovers made during the Olympics because I couldn’t get inside Half Moon for the cushions! The camper sat patiently under a layer of snow. Silly planning. Anyway, I have the cushions now and will get to them soon. Since the Olympics are over I must find another block…
Here are some of the fabrics I am using for the Woman Cave project I am also collecting yarns. Here are some and I should get some shades of pink in the mail tomorrow I finished two small throw pillows and am working on the Melton Wool Blanket edging. I have not been able to…
