What's Up Monday

It's hard to believe it is Monday already, "the Man of the Place" was home on vacation last week and we were able to get away for a few days but like many vacations it goes by too quickly. We went to the Civil War battle site


Shiloh in Tennessee. 

It is an amazing park with so much to see and learn. If you haven't been there you ought to look it up and see if that is something you to might be interested in. We wish we had bicycles because the park is so big and there is a self guided tour around the site you drive but bikes would of  been a fun way. 

So what am I going to try to work on this week; 
things for the boys.

Have one of the little dogs completed and still need to put the other one together  
 Do you notice that one is bigger than the other, I guess I relaxed some on the second one because my stitches are slightly larger.


Then I had bought these flannel panels a while back to make for the "little dudes". 


I'm going to back it in another flannel and add rick rack around the edge. The rick rack will be in different colors so each has their own.





Now on to my To Do List
This was the last one I did before "the Man of the Place" vacation and I wasn't able to completed a lot of it, so I am just adding those items to this week To Do List
NEW LIST



I did get done number 1, 5, 6,9 and 10.
Not too bad, half of the list
OLD LIST

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...
