When it Rains it Pours…

and it has indeed been raining…a lot!  And the winds….just something awful.  I had to cover the trailer (Ms. Daisy) as it has a little leak in one corner, that I haven’t had the time to fix.  She is nearly ready to hit the road.  I found another fridge the same size (new) and will get that in this weekend.  So yesterday I started on some pillows.

And in the background is the quilt I made for Trailer Trash (1959 Aljo), saved for Ms. Daisy (the Aljo died in a freak wind).

And I got this embroidered linen from Mary Jane’s Farm Fair, a couple years back and have been saving it for my vintage trailer…perfect!  I loved it and for those of you who might know, Farmgirl Frannie made this. 

Gee, the sun came out, what a surprise!  Even though it is cold out there, I still have lots of little things to do…be back soon with more from Ms. Daisy.

    Your fabric for Ms. Daisy sure makes me smile. She's going to be the best dressed gal on the road.
