Wow, you are a very talented woman. All those items seem like they would be reasonable projects to do in an RV as long as you don't take enough supplies to do tons of them at once. :lol:
Some of them would surely bring you some income if you chose to do so.

The only thing that will take up room would be my travel loom, I am getting rid of the others. I just sent the dimensions of the loom to the company to make sure the bed is high enough for me to store it. That is why I need the table because I can sit the loom, sewing machine, etc.I have no intentions of taking a lot of supplies because I hope to be too busy doing the day and will only work on things in the evening and on rainy days. Now, when I go to Florida for the winter, I plan on stopping at my daughter's to pick up things that she is keeping for me. I will be in one place for a few months and would probably have time.

What type of sewing (embroidery) machine do you have? I have a Husquavarna viking SE. Love it and what I can make with it.

I do admire your crochet and knitting, I can crochet some, but knitting is not something I could accomplish. But love to see what other people make.

When we were purging to go full-time, I got rid of a quilting frame, sewing machine, tons of fabric and yarn....I have been traveling with a set of crochet hooks and my counted cross-stitch supplies in one of those recyclable grocery bag you pay for at the check out like at Walmart.....In 8 yrs. I've made about 30 baby and adult afghans, booties, hats, hooded baby capes, and about 15 counted cross-stitch projects, some given as gifts, some I've kept myself, and some I did for others on commission....I have a wooden Budweiser case box under the bed that holds a few patterns and extra embroidery supplies i.e. floss and cloth.....So I'm a happy "crafting" camper... ;) :lol:

Gorgeous work! And I happen to know if you don't print your pages, digiscrapping takes no extra space than your laptop! Yep, I'm a digiscrapper as well. Someday, I hope we cross paths and can compare layouts.

I have a Brother sewing embroidery machine, it is okay. I brought it at a Martha Pullen show in Texas because a friend had worked out a deal with a vendor if we both brought one and paid cash. That is what happens when you have been too busy to spend your per diem for three months. I am going to miss that per diem, that is how I brought my toys.

As for the digiscraping, it would be fun to compare layouts. I do not print out my pages, I have a dedicated external hard drive. I use Paint Shop Pro to create my pages. It all started because I wanted to make signature tags for my emails. Now I have thousands of images to play with and they were all free. It is fun and takes up no space in my laptop bag.

I used to use PSP but then went to the dark side a few years ago and now use Photoshop. One great thing about being a student is I was able to upgrade at a really great price before I graduated.
