Happy Caravanner's!

Hi all!

I hope you had a good weekend. We are having somewhat of a heatwave here in England, so Hubby & I went on a spur-of-the-moment weekend break away in our caravan, with our boys and Hubby's parents. 

I Say spur-of-the-moment, we booked it last Monday and went there on Friday! 

We went to a place called 'Battle' in East Sussex. Its near where the famous 1066 battle took place between some historic figures and is all terribly significant in British History but Awwwwwwww excuse me while I yawn!!!!!

I'm sorry, I do love some history and love old stories, but Vikings and Saxon's and all that savagery and brutality and harshness is just not interesting to me!

Hubby loves all the knights and Viking stories and archery and Beowulf type stories, and finds it all fascinating, but its not my thing! give me Jane Austen or a period drama and I'm happy!! 

So I digress, we went to a nice little site, My in-laws in their tent and us in our almost finished renovated caravan. 

We didn't have a particularly interesting weekend so I shall spare you the recount, but I did discover some LOVELY little shops in Battle,that we had a browse around, including a wool shop, that actually stocked some wool I have been looking for that has been discontinued. I haven't been able to find it anywhere, and yet there it was, the nice lady behind the counter went straight to it. 

The next day I had decided to go back and get a few more balls, just in case, and sadly it was closed.

What I enjoyed mostly I think, apart from the lazy afternoon and time spent with my family, was enjoying seeing my little caravan with her new curtains and cushions!! all made by me!

I took these photo's when we first bought out "Ellie" (our caravan's name!)

 As you can see, she's ok but a bit dull, with the terracotta velour curtains and cushions, and the pale mossy green upholstery. 

So this is how she looked this weekend...

I think she looks lovely with my crocheted blankets on the sofa's but also looks ok without them too..

I am currently making throws to go over these sofa's properly, as my son doesn't want to part with his blanket and we have got used to our happy summer blanket around the house, and they are both too big really. I am mid way through the first blanket. All granny squares. in the same colours as the cushions.

We need to finish the painting, Hubby got busy with some urgent repairs that he needed to do on her, and so she didn't get the paint job finished. 

We've had to take her back into storage for the time being as our Landlords (and neighbour) aren't keen on our keeping the caravan on the drive.

 Not everyone is a caravan-lover like me!!

Anyway, that's it from me for now. I hope you enjoyed seeing my little home from home!

I will be back soon as I am working on something...just need a few more hours in the day to get working on it some more. 

I currently have 3 different projects on the go,all a different craft!  with another few pending, waiting in the wings!!

Do you like to have different projects on the go, flitting from one to the other, or do you stay with one until its completed and then move on to the next project on the list?
