Oh wow!!!  You could rent that little guy out as a bed and breakfast when you aren't gone.  Call it a working cowranch when people get the priviledge of helping you work and sleep in that cute little trailer!  Gonna make a mint!  lol
Love it!  The colors are perfect together.  However, I think that pillow in the right needs black fringe.  Maybe the kind that looks like pom-poms.  Not the round ones though.  And a big button in the middle.  JMHO, but couldn't help throwing the idea out there since you said it needed something.
You go girl, we are loving it!!!

Wow.  Just plain Wow.  Everytime you show a little piece, I think to myself,  "that is tooo gawdy" BUT then when I see it together I think "That is TOO CUTE!".  I have decided I have no vision and no style. 


Ms Lilly has plenty of both!

I love it!

LOL MM when I bought that pillow....I was shoppin thru the Goodwill store to see what I could find for the trailer. (instead of spendin bookoos at the fabric store) I seen the colors around the edges....and the price tag of $2 and said yeap that'll work on the couch. (And I hadn't even bought the fabric for the couch yet) At that point it was all in my mind. But.....I didn't know it had an elephant on it until I got home and pulled it outta the sack. And I thought...and elephant? Where'd that come from? But why not....the gypsy caravan just might have had an elephant somewhere.

SBMom....I don't know that I have vision or style....or just plain crazy....Prolly the 'just plain crazy' fits best LOL

But I do know this....I am having so much fun with this....even tho it's work sorta....


Katy.....lol @ rent it out. It would prolly hafta be like that women's ranch down in Alpine where there's no men. I dunno if men would wanna stay in my lil trailer. Mine will....but he's an exception. Can't tell you how many men have said..."No way" would they let their wife or anyone decorate their camp trailer like that. Aww well...they don't know what they might be missing. hehe It's become kinda a standing joke at my house for hubby to ask me, "just how much money am I gonna hafta be holdin in my hand to get inside when it's finished?"

I will figure somethin out with that ugly lil pillow. I've thought about fringe...and buttons....beads.....SOMETHING. It's just too plain to "enter in" as is. Hahaha

The red ruffles...really aren't near as red as the camera makes it look. It's more of a burgandy to match the flowers in the couch material.

Ms. Lilly,  I thought your were "just plain old crazy" when I saw the first picture of the less than stellar camper!  Now I'm COMPLETLY impressed!

I think my hubby would have the same reaction....How much do I have to pay to enter?  lol.

I can hardly wait to see what you accomplish next......

(and I wish I had your energy.   ;)  )

After sewing the arm rest cover of the couch together.....and digging thru some of my sewing stuff...tryin to find something to dress the ugly pillow up...I sat down with this.....my choices.



My intentions were....to make a square to go in the middle of the pillow. Crochet hook in hand...I set to it.



Got about an 8 inch square done....and thought..nope needs more....so used the lil fluffy stuff. (I don't know how anyone could ever make anything out of that.....because once you make one pass crocheting...you can't tell where you'd stick your needle to go another round.) But I got one round on.



It's gawdy...but didn't look right on the pillow....I'd been eyeballin a little lamp I have on my kitchen table the whole time I was making the square. Thinking...that lil lamp would look good in the trailer.......



I have a small night stand that I am planning on gawdyin up to put in the trailer...and I think this lil lamp...settin on that lil do dad I made...will look cute. Honestly I am working on the ugly pillow. But I don't have any pictures of it right now....I've taken the pillow completely apart....and quit for the night when the sewin machine ran out of bobbin. Grrrrr hate it when it does that in the middle of somethin. I'll finish it up and post  pictures tomorrow.

That's exactly what I was thinking about...the pom poms and the big button.

If you think you can or think you can't...either way you're right.

And the pillow.....it's not so ugly anymore. As I dug further into my stash of sewing supplies. I ran across three of these quilt blocks. My mother had given them to me before she passed away. My great grandmother made them. They are all sewn together by hand...and the little squares are about an inch square, and never made it into a quilt. So I thought..why not....have a lil bit of all my peoples with me in my travels. :)



Don't believe me??? haha...it is the ugly pillow...I just covered ALL of one side up. But with the red ruffle....the ugly side's not as ugly as it was.
