JEWLERY MAKING IN AN RV

mandddesign@facebook.com

3-23-2014  Goodmorning!  Spring has  arrived by the calender we are all awaiting it in  reality. It continues to be a big  dust bowl here in west Texas and we are all  suffering  with allergies  because of it.  However the weather has  been  fine  for life partner to be busy in the jewelry making business.  He has  produced  several nice 
pieces this past week.  We  are finding that  crafting in the RV is not as  hard as  we thought just  difficult if both of us are trying to  work at the same time.  One of the reasons we  bought this model was  for the built in desk area  which  we knew  we would need for the jewelry.  We were not ready to give up the living space to buy a bunkhouse  which  would have given us another room  for our  crafts.  We will see if that  turns out to be a good decision.  For now we are  doing fine and  loving the  full  time RV  living.  It continues to come with  surprises  such as we have found out that  our next place in Anoka, MN all the RV parks close Oct 15th ( help  we needed thru the 30th!) and that  the park we  were planning to stay in  May- early July back in Burleson is now not taking monthly  rentals. Now we  get to start looking again!  All that said we are still glad  we made the decision to  go mobile.  Enjoy the Spring  sunshine and here is  hoping for  rain.
 Here are some of life partners creations  from the last  week from our new smaller work area.

It has been a while since our last blog.  Life got very  busy for a while.  We  decided with our life style it made much more sense to go mobile.  So we furiously went  thru our home, sorting out things to give away, keep and sell. Had 2 big sales and put the house up for sale all in 3 weeks.  We bought a beautiful 39 foot fifth wheel which is now home and workshop.   We just  got our our  jewelry  supplies out and I got several  pieces done today.  It is interesting going from a large workshop to a small desk in a fifth wheel , but we bought this fifth wheel  because it had the desk  area we could work in.  After all  you  can be creative anywhere.  We look forward to some beautiful places that will  inspire our jewelry.    For now we are staying in Lubbock again while I help out a community clinic. I have enclosed some of our new pieces.  Please  visit the Etsy store and take a look around and share the site with your friends.  I will be talking soon on how we are doing in our small workshop and sharing some new ideas  so  stay tuned.
