Well Rob has gone to Christchurch on a building mission trip with some members of our church. He obviously wont be working on the bus conversion in the mean time. So I get to spend a whole week having "Me" time. A time for me to be as selfish as I like!
For my first day, I surprised myself and spent the whole day on the computer - blog hopping, writing a blog post as well as a tutorial for a future post, researching and collecting wonderfully inspiring crafts and caravan/RV organizational ideas.
There were so many great ideas I have collected. Some I can make and do myself even for the new Robbiebago II (the name we are giving the bus after the conversion into a motorhome). This bedside storage I found on Amazon is one definite. They wont ship it to Australia, so I will just have to make my own. I am always reading in bed, often a book and several magazines. I have some more ideas on my Pinterest Board 'camping-caravaning'
.
I really need people to please stop posting such wonderful craft ideas and patterns. You are tempting me with all your wonderful projects. I think I have enough ideas to keep me going for a year (or two) of crafting and cooking. I have tried to keep it all organized on my Pinterest Board so that I don't lose track of them totally. Do you Pinterest? I have a pin board here and an expanding file of inspirational stuff I have collected over the years. Then I had started some files on the computer before I discovered Pinterest. I alternate between all three.
My second day I determined not to spend much time on the computer other than checking my emails and FB accounts. Attending Church was the first thing on my agenda and then visiting a friend in hospital. Along the way to the hospital, I decided to pop in and have a look for some cake decorating supplies and came away with heaps of goodies including some new piping tips and some 3 kg of chocolate since it was on half price!!! Truly, I cross my heart and promise it is for cake pops - not popping into my mouth.
The coast area where I live has been hit badly by some strong winds over the last few days. It has deposited lots of branches all around the place, so I spent an hour or so picking them all up.
The girls party for their birthday is coming up and I want to make some things. I have already done the owl heat pack. Now I am looking at making a tiny princess doll for them to go with the play castle I bought. I have seen some lovely dolls but they are all the wrong size and then I cottoned on to the idea of making one or 2. I have never made a doll let alone one so small. I figure the girls are too young to notice if they are not perfect! I have also designed a zebra heat pack as a companion to the owl heat packs I made last week since I bought this zebra patterned fleecy the other week. I am trying hard not to buy anything until I have made up the last material I bought, or at the very least to make it up very soon! Big aim, I know it will be hard to stick to. I swear I have baby material tucked away and my youngest baby is now 22... not good resources management at all!!! I really must learn to use or to purge... but purging is really, really hard for me to do. Aargh!!!
That's the beauty of having some totally ME days
Rob had better watch out - I am really enjoying all this "ME" time.

| What a wonderful way to serve fruit. Easy enough to do whilst camping too! |

| I love word art too - might make one for the RV |

What would you like to do if you were able to have a week of "me" time?
