Just a few crumbs

This past week I have been feeling like I have too many irons in the fire. Normally I can manage all that is needed around the farm and in the house but not lately. I just can't seem to concentrate and I am going around in circles, so needless to say I haven't gotten much sewing done.
All I was able to get accomplished these past 2 weeks were 5 blocks.




So this makes a total of 30 blocks and I think I might need a few more than that. I had written to Michele, a distracted quilter at Distracted Quilter that I was going to make mine bed size. Boy I'm starting to think I might of been having an out of mind experience. They have a word for that and I think it's called  menopause.




This one is what "the man of the place" has to deal with at times.



I just thought this was a cute one




 And this one is just too funny


Till next time,
Kat

    Kat....you had me cracking up!!! I guess that is what my problem is too....menopause!! At least that sounds better than just can't get it done!!

    Your blocks look great. I had to chuckle when you said you were wondering what you were doing thinking about making a bed size quilt. EVERY quilt I make is bed size....and I am trying to make myself scale it down. This one should be a bit smaller. I hope.

    Hang in there!! Just know you are not alone....wish there was a shot for this...it would be nice to hold a thought for more than a second most days!!!

    Having survivied it, trust me, it gets easier. Have you considered getting your thryroid checked? After some mental "fuzzies" during menopause I had mine checked, was very low. Easy fix! Hang in there :) Love the cartoons!

    Bed size can be done - if we keep crumbing every Tuesday and don't stop til we get there. I'll hang in with you. I've already got an idea for my next crumb project. I figure we'll just be like Jo or Pattilou. When we finish one, we start another. I can't blame my insanity on menopause, I've always been this way.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

It's for the Birds

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
