Our 3 Four Legged Children

Milita our Border Collie is loving being back on the road again - it means less guard duty and a little more time getting out seeing the area.  The little pip squeak is Snowpea and she is our comedy relief and does her job beyond well. And then there is Junebug our male cat who was given such a girly name (because we thought he was a SHE).
This summer was the worst for him. We made the HUGE mistake of getting a new cat and Junebug wanted nothing to do with her. So for about 3 month he lived outside and REFUSED to come indoors. He's been the master of killing that whole time - we can't count the number of mice, chipmunks and birds he's left at our doorstep and manage to get himself stuck about 25 feet up in a tree for 5 days (in which we owe Jorge's summer boss many thanks - for she came alone with a ladder and made her way up the tree to get him down MY HERO for anyone who knows me know my baby is # 1 in our home). Well little kitty had to go for a number of reasons and she is happy in her new home and we have our #1 back in the RV full timing and he's back to being himself again.

RV ways of making an honest PAYCHECK

#1 way - our main way

We are here. Our Life Vacation aka ADVENTURES on the road. Our first stop is just right down the road for a month and 3 days. This time is being used to build our store inventory so that we can travel with less worries and more money in the bank.

So what is it we do?? Sewing is our main gig and one we depend on "BIG TIME"

Samples our main store:
 www.etsy.com/shop/mrscraftyrving
 
We do an average of 2 orders a day and our goal is 4 so we are a bit behind our goals of comfort. Thankfully our inventory helps us fill in the blanks..... As you can see they are small and just perfect for storing our store items but like all store owners/rvers we hope it moves fast. We currently have over 200+ fabric that yet to be made into these cool items (crayon roll, matchbox car holder, lip balm holder). This is why we are hiding in a RV park working almost around the clock to get all the fabric that is just sitting in their wrappers made into product.

If you wish to follow the feed to our shop for daily updates/sales and such:

Meet Hayden's George

Welcome to our first post!!

Hayden's George is about pure fun.... We've donated Mr Crafty to a young fellow and wish him well with his dreams - we just hope he keeps his promise of "PAY IT FORWARD" in which a gift is granted out of pureness of our heart and then you do the same for someone else in the future.

Lets see, where to begin. Awwww the shopping.... Pure hell, to save it, and to find it. We looked at new models that wanted our soul for a price tag. Looking at private sellers who do  not know the meaning of clean or honest. Our last look broke the mold and I took over the search. And here we have Hayden's George - old yes but everything was either re-done or replaced and cleaned over and over to the point of shine.

The history of Hayden's George is a simple one: A gently grandpa by the name of George owned and love the 1969 21ft rig. He made many travels and many great memories with this rig. Well, as life happens he passed away (RIP GEORGE) a couple of years ago and the rig was passed on to his grand child. As their family got bigger the need for a larger rig was in order. And a beautiful family this is too.... I don't have the families permission to mention their names and to protect their rights I am leaving that info out. They took turns showing it and the feeling was just not in the cards to the folks who seen it prior to us. Then I made the call because at this point my husband failed in the shopping area. The price was beyond in reach for us but for me it was the cuteness of it. So I made the call and then the call was made to us "ONLY" my husband took the call - hence George 2 (Jorge - but its GEORGE) and magic was made and the name connection won us the first stage of getting him.

I've got to tell you some tidbits of little things that has won my heart "FOREVER" full of grace all the way this family is all about. But lets see "The German Sausage" stand (yeppers family in Germany on our end) and "OCD" of everything - yepper me to a T and her to a T.... And oh yes - can't forget the bunnies the ever soooooo fat bunnies (our 300 may of equaled their one lol).... And many other little things.... There are people you meet and often forget but not this family.... Loved the veggies big time!!

And now we have another George at the ownership of this wonderful cute little rig. The idiots of our life"acquaintances" - I thought you were going bigger?" - instead of "WOW congrats" really eeerk me. Size is nothing for us - you see my husband not only loves me but also likes me as I have the same feeling towards him. So a 6X6 would suite us just fine too - "GET IT NOW??? Probably don't get it because it's a status to have larger and newer. Well dearies we are simple and will always be this way. It's the way GOD made us....

Day 1 begins Oct 22nd for us..... And so we welcome you to share in the JOY of our new beginning to our new life. Doing is smarter this time and doing it with more smiles, and more time to stop and smell the roses...
