Monday Update



OK I said I would say what I was able to get done.

First on the list... I did get all the strips needed for my Some Kind of Wonderful quilt cut. Plus I was able to get the squares cut too.

 Second on the list...
I'm disappointed the I did not get more than 3 houses done. I forgot about our bible study, Sisters in Scripture was this evening and I had to get tonight's block done to show how to.



So here was tonight's block, Salome. I still have some paper to clean up and than do a satin stitch where the 2 different fabrics meet.

Then when it came to the third on the list, working out in the garden I guess I am not totally over the head cold cause I was pooped by this afternoon, so I had to have a nap.
It would have been better weather wise today than it is suppose to be tomorrow.We are in a wind advisory for tomorrow

I want to share a blog I came across just the other day. It is called  Sustainable Eats
For the next 12 months each month is devoted to some part of raising your own food starting in February with soil building, and then 
March: Home Dairy
April: Gardening
May: Foraging
June: Botanical
July: Seed Saving and Winter Gardening
August: Preserving
September: Bartering
October: Protein
November: Grains
December: Handcrafted holidays
January: Reflections and wrap ups


This challenge will be what you make of it – the ultimate in crazy or just dipping your toe in.  Add a little more urban farm to your life in 2012 by taking the challenge.
So maybe this is for you, go check it out. 
This is right up my alley, so I'm challenging myself to learn more.
My post I did on Feb 8 was part of the challenge and I didn't even know it at the time.
And I like what I've read so far.
Till next time 
Kat

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.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1. I figure we need to refrain ourselves and keep it down to a couple episodes a night. Today I put a binding on another quilt from the pile. ...

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        ...
