The miracle of it all, is it used to look like this.....Just a few short weeks ago....
A lot of carpentry, paint and sewing has given her a whole new life.
I can just picture myself eating breakfast at this sweet little table.....
Our maiden voyage begins on the 27th...We still have to finish the outside as in painting and prepping, and I need to finish curtains and pillows for the bed/ couch area. Quilt the bed quilt, and reupholster the couch...On the outside, we are just waiting for a couple of really dry days and then we can knock it out....What do you think?

I love how it turned out! The curtains are awesome. I have about 6 yards of that fabric in the black colorway just waiting to be made into a one block wonder quilt.
I think you and hubby work great together. Such coordination and speed. Is that a new stove, or did you paint that brown one? I'm really loving every square inch I see so far. That banner is wonderful.
Ok, that is COOL!!!

Hey melinda it is Kim from the enchanted swap. Where are you going on your trip and have you joined sisters on the fly? I'm asking cause my daughter is begging me to join and wants to get a trailer to redo? Sorry I have not been in contact my eyesight has been giving me fits. Hubby showed me how to get larger print on the screen(such a computer doop I don't even know you could do that.) Anyway can barely see the larger print right now. good thing I can touch type okay.If your part of sisters on the fly would you let me know.
Hi Melinda,
What a fantastic job you and hubby have done on the Tumbleweed. :)
Love the Western theme.
The curtains, placemats, everything including that Red stove are great! Have a super time enjoying the fruits of your labor.
