Life's Little Pleasures


This is my first Yarn Along and why I hadn't seen this sooner I just can't figure out. The concept is sharing with others two of some of my favorite things.  I have been sharing what I have made but not too much what I am working on or what I have been reading lately. 
So this is my latest knitting project now since I'm finish with the Chicken Hats and the Little Kitty Purse. I decided to start something for me. I'm trying the Color Affection Shawl by Veera Valimaki I saw on Raverly. There were so many beautiful combinations of colors they have pictures of, so I figured I couldn't go wrong. Easy-peasey.


.
Then as to what I've been reading, it's a book I have on my Kindle, its "The Feast Nearby" by Robin Mather. In the front page of the book is this written by her, "How I lost my job, buried a marriage, and found my way by keeping chickens, foraging, preserving, harvesting, and eating locally (all on forty dollars a week).
Doesn't that sound like something I would like.
It has been very interesting, I would recommend this one.

Can't really see inside ;-)

Till next time
Have fun knitting and reading

  2. One of my projects on the needs is a shawl for myself.

    I am also working on a Christmas Fairy for Friday. I hope to have it done by then so I can share the pattern.

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        ...

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,...
