A litte up date on how its looking around here. A little thrifty decorating tip, if you what to get that nordic ice fishing hut style with out skining the wild beasts. Take a woolen under blanket, you know the ones that are on your bed, you can get them at your local op shop. Cut it into the shape of an animal hide give it a whirl though the washing machine, to fluff up the edges. You could even dye it if you wanted. <br />

Some pics of life around Camp van der Glam. We had Christmas and new year festivities with family, friends food, wine, dance and a whole lot of fun. The annex I made also turned out to be bonus, giving us extra space for a dinning table (that I made days before Christmas dinner) and a lounge sitting area.<br />

Some would say its trashed - take it to the tip !!!!.What you paid money for that ??!!! Not me - to me, it screamed renovator's delight!!!! I couldn't wait to do her up. Luck was on my side, plus some planning too.<br />
The week I got her, we had hard rubbish in our neighbourhood. Out came all the unwanted stuff, straight on to the nature strip (sidewalk). All around the neighbourhood there were finds to be had for the renovation.<br />

My little baby is ready for her voyage to Swansea in Tasmania after spending the last 2 months giving her the full makeover treatment. She was all glam'ed up and stocked with goodies. It was so exciting for me and master 4yo. Hubby was just hoping (as was I) for no incidents. We drove her to Port Melbourne and onto the Spirt of Tasmainia ferry for an over-night Bass Straight crossing to Devonport. From there we had a 4 hr drive to Swansea - up and down the hills we went. WHOOOHOOO - my 1974 Capricorn caravan was dancing like a swan landing on Moulting Lagoon.<br />

Some days I get a little idea and get side tracked from van der Glam.<br />Chatting to a lovely friend Faye about decorating - a passion we both share. I mentioned I would love to make a dining table from and old door and an old sewing machine. Funny you should say that, says Faye, I have one you can have. REALLY? I couldnt believe it - an old tredle singer and it's gorgeous. A coating of white wash and and old door the assortment of chairs I had but I reckon my singer sewing dining table brings them together.<br />The night these pics were taken, I had a chef cook my dinner.

Yep, its a caravan and its mine. They don't come much uglier than this one, but I'm very proud of it. I have wanted to do up a caravan for as long as I can remember. I have also been looking for just the right one for some time and I found it on ebay. I bought it sight-unseen for $830. I've had my little baby a week now and have spent every spare moment in it - first taking a lot of the stuff on the inside out. Lucky we had a hard rubbish collection this week so I dragged wood, plastic and metal out to the nature strip. Then came some serious cleaning. While cleaning it, I've discovered it's a '73 Capricorn Deluxe. Gee, deluxe has come along way since 1973.<br />
Well it's off to work I go - my little baby awaits a glam makeover .<br />

I spotted some cute enamel cups in Healesville while visiting the Sanctuary with Mum and Dad. Then Mum and Dad surprised me with them as a gift on my birthday.<br />
Then on the Sunday just gone by, while strolling around a flea market, there it was a picnic basket ready to be made over. I lined the inside with some fabric and my trusty hot glue gun.<br />
Of course, the picnic rug we have didn't match, so with a bit of patch work on top, we are ready for the great out doors. You may notice were not there yet.<br />
Now I'm off to make some country and western shirts tassels and all. Why am I making C&W shirts? Because we bought a caravan. Long story - will tell you all about it later. But I'm very excited<br />
