I thought I had joined this group long ago, but did not and last night I barged into the chat room only to find out that I had not joined. Thank you for making me welcome and as promised I have joined and am posting my intro.
I am a 59 yo, married, receptionist, who is longing to hit the road full time. I love to make and collect dollhouse miniatures, mostly 1:12 scale with an emphasis on miniature plants and flowers. I also have tried and do many other arts & crafts. We live in southwestern NH and neither one of us looks forward to the snow here in the winter. I am so tired of shoveling the stuff. If I am going to shovel something let it be sand on a beach somewhere.
My husband is not well and is 10 years older than I. It is my hope that we can spend our golden years on the road, but I don't think it is going to happen. Yet I am fully prepared to do it on my own if that is how it ends up. Right now we have a 26 ft Rockwood towed by a 06 Tundra double cab for the kids to ride in comfort. I would like to be able to go into a MH, but I can deal with what I have if I need to. The dream vehicle for me would be a Newmar Mountainaire with a smart car for a toad, but we will see.
We live with our three shetland sheepdogs. As you can see in the picture there are 4, but we lost the little guy on the right 2 months ago. Last night I was asked to post a pic of my canine children so here goes and hopefully it will work.

I also have many more pictures on webshots of miniatures I have made in the past 4 years if you would like to take a look.

Welcome, Deb, from a fellow miniaturist. I have been active in a local group for nearly two years now and I have completed 6 room boxes so far. We display once a year at a local mall. I figure I will be able to do more once I retire in January and am full-timing. I have a partially completed Victorian dollhouse kit to start with...:)
Welcome again!

I will look it up for you.... LOL, I am sure that it is whatever is the smallest kit and I have used some integral pieces already....I have already packed some stuff in my "new to me' MH.
BUT, my club has been good for me and I have learned that what is not there to purchase, one can create out of nothing, most times! Anything else, you can buy on e-bay or in a dollar store LOL!
Right now, my little group is making back-lit "wooden cabins" (mine is bleached oak with planked porch in the same colour and 'bramblewood' square-lashed porch furniture). The 'garden' is still undeveloped even in my head LOL.
Only a fellow miniaturist will understand the breadth in this hobby LOL...and I am still LOUSY at it..:) But yes, a perfect hobby for a crafter who is RV-ing...

PS If I ever figure out the photo thing I will post some of mine and of the group's...:) I care very little about where I am going, so how can I be lost?
