Dreams

I have been living in a Recreational Vehicle after selling my 2000 sq ft. home in 2002 and moved into my first RV, which was a class “A” motorhome. We purchased our 35 ft. 5^th wheel RV in 2006 after we outgrew our class “A”. About a year or so ago I discovered Tumbleweed Tiny Houses. Now I am completely in love with them. My only dilemma is do I want one on a trailer or do I want one of the “house” models that go on a foundation. Either way, I want to build it myself, and document it on film.

It is not just the house I want to build but it is an all-inclusive, self sufficient, off the grid homestead, complete with solar and wind power, composting toilet, well water, and manmade wetland grey water drainage. I would love to have a nice garden and a kitchen that will allow me to can my produce for long term storage. I have been watching a lot of shows set in Alaska and it looks like something that I would like minus the really cold weather.

At this point with the RV I want to find a nice secluded area with a really awesome view. Someplace where I can start a new life in a place of my own that does not have wheels attached. This is my dream and one that I am working hard to fulfill. I want to travel the country and see all of my options. I do know that I would love to live in the mountains but it must have at the least a lake or river. I love the water I can’t help it.

 Over the last year I have bought just about everything I could get my hands on when it comes to how to build a tiny house. I am considering now taking the class on how to build one. Since I have graduated from film school I now have the time to go and take the class now, which I wanted to take when it was in Florida last year. I have found both a trailer and a house design that I like. Oddly they are pretty much the same style. Either way, when I build it, I will add my own spin on the design.

In addition to wanting to build my own tiny house, I want to create my own natural perfumes using essential oils in a pure carrier oil base. One of my favorite kinds of perfume is that which comes in an oil base and applied with a roll-on. I have my manufacture for not only the oils, but also the bottles. This week I am designing my packaging and putting together my branding package. My plan is to take my products to a few Wiccan bookstores to see if I can sell a few there and I will also open my first store on ebay and hope that I make some sales.

In order to make a few dollars I am going to be going through my storage unit and selling what ever it is that I don’t want on e-bay as well. With this money I am going to take that money and save it up for supplies to build my tiny house. That is my plan.

We will see what happens…

More to come.
