We Know Now


My daughter found out yesterday what she is going to have, and it's not one of each Boy/Girl but

BOY! OH BOY!

Bless her heart she is going to have two little guys and boy will she have her hands full.
One thing about about most boys, they look after their Moms. I think it's that protector mode they have.
I can't wait, I had 3 girls myself so this will be all new for me too.
Now I'm on the look out for boy related things to make.
Any ideas, I would love to hear them.

  1. congrats! that's awesome.... boys are fun.
    I have one of each, now 9 and 7, the boy was harder in the beginning, but now he's the sweetest caring young man (9), my daughter was easy and cute now she's starting to show the sassy-ness, how she can get away with anything around Daddy or close to it, oh boy, I don't know about teenage years :-)

  2. Wonderful! I raised two boys. What fun! No ideas come to mind. But here's some advice. Keep those little guys covered up when diapering them, unless you like taking a "wee" shower!

  5. Oh how exciting. Congratulations. I know a cute project for boys .. maybe for when they are a little older but google Annie Downs from Hatched and Patched in Australia and take a look at her "Boys Story" Quilt. It is on my to do list this year for my little nephew

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

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          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
