What's Up Monday

Well a lot has happen since last Monday and it looks like a lot will before next Monday. But before I jump ahead of myself I should stay focus here. You'll see I have a busy week ahead of me and that is all I can think of right now.

So this past week has been a good one, after 3 week in the NICU Ben got to go home

 Now him and brother Blake are back together. Sorry about all the Grandma pictures but I can't help myself. I'll try not to be one of those over zealous new Grandma. (Not working  is it)


Now back to what's up, I'm working on a couple of projects but neither one of them are sewing. I have a  crochet and knitting project to get done this week

1. Is a birthday present for my oldest daughter, (yes oldest)
It's a little purse pattern I found at Melinda's at Mocrochet
I'm half way done

2. Is knitting hats for the babies, so their mommy can get a picture of them wearing them.
I found this pattern on raverly
This is Little Chicken Baby Hat
by Irina Poludnenko

Cute isn't it.

Now these are my projects but the main thing for this week, is going to Minnesota for a show, it's the MQ 2012 Show in Rochester  If you are going to the show maybe you'll come by our booth and say Hi. I would love to meet you. Our booth is Studio 180 design - Sager Creek Quilts
So my poor "man of the place" is in charge again of the garden and chickens.
Now this brings me back to the things to do list from last week and how I did.
1. make BOM  done
2. Post 4 egg recipes - fell short, posted only one
Planned on more but we are going to get another steer butcher here next month and we need to use up as much as we can that is left in the freezer so we have room for the fresh one. Which means I was not adding many egg dishes
3. Finish weeding veggie beds - I have 2 beds left.
4. Plan what to plant next - Did get Okra in, but next is sweet potatoes, basil, lettuce, swiss chard
5. Write a post everyday. I missed yesterday (6 out of 7)
6. exercise everyday
7. Start chicken hats
8. Learn something new and have fun everyday- Oh ya, DID THAT!

I should of added the Hello Kitty purse.

So my new list

Lets see how do next week.
Tiil next time

    OMG, I LOVE the chicken hat! I want one, but might look goofy on me :)

    Ben & Blake are adorable and I'm so glad they are both healthy enough to be home together. Now the real fun begins! Is there such a thing as an over zealous grandma? I think not!

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        ...

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 c...

  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.

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.
