WOYWW 161 The RV version

These is not much on my workdesk this week as we are up at the RV.  This is our gazebo/outdoor dining room/craft table. There is a big evergreen in the foreground of my photo and it gives some much needed shade when it is 40 C.


Here is how it sits on the lot. The little green building you can see at the back of the lot is the famous "bunkie" where our guests stay when they come up to visit! It has a double bed futon with a twin bed bunkbed above.


Here is the reason I can usually manage to get a bit of papercrafts done when we are up at the RV. Hubby goes fishing for the morning and I get set up in the gazebo to make some cards.  I have made my Christmas cards up here at times...it is so much easier to bring one theme and just work on that, off and on over the summer.

Unfortunately, the lake is really high and boating is being discouraged right now as the wakes from the boats can contribute to the flooding.  One of the other local RV resorts is under water and the water is cresting on the highway in spots.  Several waterfront homes are flooded and my heart goes out to all those affected by this high water.

Very little papercrafts are getting done here this week since the boat is stuck in its moorage!
We have had company up for the last couple of days, have another friend coming Thursday to Saturday and a third friend arriving Saturday afternoon!  Fingers crossed the fellows go off to sightsee and I can get tucked in at the gazebo!

    RVs. DOH! DH loves them and me, it's my idea of hell. But glad YOU are enjoying it, despite the holiday from your crafty space!

    Enjoy,

    Now if I came to visit we could craft together.
    Lovely pictures of an alternative way of life, oh to be needing shade - we have had nothing but rain and no sun for simply ages.
    Thanks for sharing and visiting me - Hugs, Neet #3 xx

    I love camping and we go quite a few times a year. Friends of ours have a trailer and we often get a bigger pitch and share (we have a tent), it's a lot of fun. Hope you can get out on the water soon, shame about the flooding, the weather has been pretty dire in the different regions so far this year. It's now too hot to be outside so I might just go and mess up my clean desk!

    Hugs

    Well, if you can't papercraft taking fantasic photos is the next best thing & you've done a wonderful job of it. Not much of a camper myself...I thought I was the only one who took along her papercrafting supplies,lol.
    Hope you enjoy your holiday & oh yeah, I just became a follower. hugs

    We were really hit with the high waters. Our deck was under water. It has receded, but is still high.
    And I see it is pouring out right now.
    Looks like a nice place to stay.
    Love the gazebo :)

    Gosh now that is a really comfy setup and the way camping should be done. I do like tents in the bush too. It looks like a lovely place to sit back and relax. I hope your visitors don't need much doing as your paper crafting is so important.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Glad you're having a nice time away.

    Thanks for your great comment on my blog - love it!! Yes, I've learnt so much from my fellow WOYWWers too, and from Blogland in general. Starting my blog opened the floodgates of my creativity and I can't tell you what joy it's brought me, not to mention all the wonderful friends I've made!

    As for learning about the Dylusions sprays, there are plenty of Youtube videos and blogs - just search, and you'll find some gems. This is what got me wanting them in the first place.

    The holder for the nibs is great - so easy to use - you just push them in, and it makes them much easier to hold and use. It won't break the bank, either!

    Happy belated WOYWW,
    Shoshi #25

    Oh that looks like such fun. I wish I could join you in your gazebo and craft while the men go fishing (although I like fishing too.) I like the idea of crafting in nature. I have a deck at home and sometimes lug my stuff downstairs from my room to craft. Very nice.

    Where is the place you are at with all the high waters? So sorry to hear some people are experiencing flooding.

    Oh I looked back at your cards on the site and they are really beautiful.

    Thanks for visiting my desk yesterday. I am feeling better. Less coughing.

    Hope to see you again next week.

    Lots of rain and flooding going on here just now too although we don't have the heat you do. Your RV looks a lot bigger than our caravan, love the outdoor area, great for crafting.
    Enjoy, hugs Erika.

    I'm with some of the others: I'd be doing more staring off at the lake than down at my crafting! I'm sorry that the lake is high (and about the flooding) and keeping DH from fishing. Hope it cools off and lowers soon! Thanks, as always, for visiting me! Darnell #35

    What a beautiful spot to sit and craft.
    It looks totally idyllic but such a shame the men folk aren’t able to take the boat out and leave you to enjoy your open air craft space.

    Thanks for stopping by this week and……
    Happy Crafting!

    Oh dear, not good on the flooding front! Sounds like your part of the world is suffering just as much as us - I know Britain doesn't normally get much of a summer, but this year is just umbelievable! Love your RV - please treat us to some pics of the inside...

    Thanks for stopping by.

    Lots of flooding over here as well. Of course, we've all forgotten what the sun looks like! But at least you get to sit and relax and look at a view. All batteries recharging nicely, I'm sure!

    Enjoy your holiday, cheers rachel #53

    Hope the waters subside and you get back to your crafty haven soon. enjoy the sun while you can though, and if possible send a blink of it over our way. Our kids are off on school holiday and cant do much outside in this weather.
    thanks for popping by earlier
