Mush-tropolis (Florence, OR)

We have been taking our walks in the campground.  Our entertainment during our walks have been looking for different mushrooms.  They are popping up everywhere just like little communities.  I looked for little pixies and fairies with no luck.  They are shy little ones, but I got some nice photos of their homes.

Here's a fine example of a Mush-tropolis with plenty of high rises.
Below are some wonderful homes with a view.  Very fungus-shui, don't you think?
Transportation moves quickly along the Mush-Rail.  Making it easy for the mushrooms to setup homes farther down the limb.
The suburbs are perfect for growing families.  Lots of little ones hanging around this area with room to grow.
My favorites are the Toad Stool villages.  They are more spread out and less populated.  We have one little village right outside our site.  We like to see how they are doing every day.
I just love the red caps with the white dots!  I wonder if I can make a mug rug to look like a toad stool home.
Hmm, I'll have to think about that one.

On The Cutting Board
I put my wall hangings on hold until we can move.  We are back to limited power and it has been quite chilly around here as well.  With our power source limited, it is hard for me to use the iron when I feel like it without me having to turn off our electric heaters all the time.  To freeze or iron?  No need to think about it.  I like being warm.  The ironing will have to wait.

So, in the meantime, I have been embroidering some new Happy Campers.  I have a total of six that I am working on right now.

Here's a sneak peak of four Happy Campers.  I'm having lots of fun with the new designs and trying some different stitches, threads, and beads.
 I don't think I'm quite done with any of these yet.
Every time I look at them, I think of something else to add to them.
All right!  I'm ready to get back to my projects.
Happy Quilting!

  10. I see the mushroom pictures made quite a hit. Do you ever leave one of those camper windows open for putting in a photo?
    They sure are charming.

    1. Thanks Florence,
      I believe there is at least one more city named Florence in South Carolina. There might be more. It is a lovely name.
