Project Name: Cardigan mending

Brief Description: My cardigan had a tear in it so I decided to do some embroidery mending. Qualifying this as hotel because I am living in a hotel for the next month & because the stupid hotel heating/air conditioners make the rooms too cold or too hot.

You know I love your big beautiful water creature! XD So cuuuute! I bet she’d be a good friend to Nessie. And excellent idea to make the RV into an ornament. It’ll be so cute on a tree!

I agree with AIMR; that looks even better than before! That little mushroom and snail scene is one of the cutest mends I’ve ever seen!! Now Really want to learn how to do that. It’s amazing!

Project Name: Oil Flowers

Brief Description: Been messing around with oil paints lately, attempted to make a field of wild flowers and came up with this. Dunno why but it reminds me of the kind of art you’d find on a wall in a hotel.

YAAAY! You’re back! I missed you!

That blanket— wowza! And the flower painting is so soft and pretty. Who doesn’t love Loki, right? And your moose turned out great! I don’t think I could even make a moose look like a moose…!

That colorful blanket is so cheerful!

I love the little garden area you stitched. It’s so cute! The ladybug is on theme, though terrifying! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

When my grandparents were alive, they used to head down to Yuma, AZ every winter in their RV. They lived in it for roughly six month of the year. I can guarantee they dressed up at least occasionally. Thankfully no monsters to contend with though! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That’s a good point. I think I was pigeon-holing RVs as a super fancy camping option and forgetting the longer-term lifestyle option that a lot people use them as.
