Coming Home

I have been in California visiting my two daughters and the those cute little grandsons. In just 3 months they have changed so much, they smile, watch you, started cooing and just melting their grandma's heart. 


So adorable.

Can't wait for my next visit.

I did get to help my oldest daughter get her new apartment in order and rode Bart to San Francisco.
While there I played tourist, you would think that since I was born and lived in Sacramento area that I had been on a cable car but I hadn't. So that is what we did, rode one to Fisherman's Wharf. 


So much fun.
"The man of the place" has been caring for the chickens. And thank goodness we have had rain while I have been gone, if not I afraid my garden would be dead. I am anxious about what I'll find. This was unplanned visit so I did not start putting in my fall crop. I figured I would do that a couple of weeks ago. Glad I waited. I'll have to see about what I can still plant.
Seeing how I've have been driving all day and I'm starting to fade and I have another day of driving so I'll make this a short post.

Till next time
Kat

    I love the cable cars but it has been so long since I was on one - I was last in San Francisco in 1980 on a quick vacation and lived in Vallejo for six months back in 1972/73
    Babies are so cute

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,...
