Today’s ornament incorporates a Thanksgiving pie tin, some scrap Construction Paper, a mini flat canvas, a piece of an old Garland and a bit of vegetable garden twine. I cut the edge of the pie tin with shears (saving the wedge pieces for another day’s ornament. I then bent and shaped the edges to help […]
Today’s ornament incorporates the other camper ornament I was given last week. It started out red but had to change to Casita white! Then it had to become a big snow globe kind of ornament. I put her in a “brownie bites” acetate package from the grocery store and wrapped her edge in some of […]
Today’s mini flat board canvas ornament captures the full moon– since we are under a Super Moon just now. We love camping under a full moon because of the ease of extra light at the picnic table and the long subtle shadows that dapple the campground. My family and friends who work as physicians […]
This little glass cloche and the little trees were brought from our old home (in case there weren’t any decorations here at all). I had a big collection of all kinds of miniature trees that used to decorate the dining room table and Christmas mantle. I sorted many for give-away when we sold the house […]
One of the most important things we can do for each other is to inspire creativity. I hope that my work decorating our Casita and crafting fun Casita-esque projects inspires some of you to play around with art and practicality to manifest wonderful new things in your (camping) lives, too. When I look around […]

Well if you’ve been reading along to this point, you know we like things “pretty”, frugal, practical, natural, dog-friendly and tasty-good food. The trick is how to pack a small space to be prepared to do the all things you love at a moment’s notice–and not bring so much you can’t easily see and stow […]
While waiting on big projects to dry in my studio today, I am painting up some of our Banner Trips™ on little fabric flags that will soon decorate our Casita. What a joy it is to recreate moments of happiness along our journey. I encourage you to create something special for your Egg, too. Any […]
Ok, this idea came to me in the eleventh hour three days before the local newspaper was coming out to take some pictures of our little Egg. I was looking at how the tan factory vinyl choice was a little dead and thinking about how the rugs we owned would photograph and boom…I thought of […]
Looking through my posts, I realize I have not shared our Egg’s summer look with you. We camp year round so I have the large vibrant heavy quilt for Fall and Winter but needed a lighter, smaller quilt for the rest of the season to help with more frequent washing when rain brings in muddy […]
