What's Up



It has been so long since I've have something to write about I feel out of practice, you know what I mean. My time spending with the "little dudes" was wonderful and I could of said more about that but to be honest I was plum pooped out after helping take care of them. So when I came home I was busy with just getting the house back in order and visiting with our parents. 
So now it's time to getting back in the swing of things. I was thinking about how many days left until Christmas and it's 42 days, Jeez Loueez that not that far away. I hope you are doing better than I am. 
I started "the little dudes" Christmas stockings a while back and did get one done but haven't been working much on the second one and need to get cracking on it. I want them to be able to have their stockings for their first Christmas even thou they will not be using them this year.


This is what it will look like,


This is what I have done so far, not much.



Then I need to get their 6 months onesies done, Friday they will be 6 months old 


I also need to put the binding on 2 quilts that are finished and I'm just giving you a peek of what they look like. I like to have them finished before I show you plus I need to get my quilt stand back from a friend so I can get a really good shot outside.


I do not have time right now to put my Thing to Do List up but when I get from Tulsa I will do that. It's been so long since I looked at my last one I just hope I was able to get them all done, if not they'll go on  the new list.

    6 months old already? Where does the time go? Glad you got to spend so much happy time with them. Can't wait to see the entire picture of your quilts they look amazing and the stockings are well on their way.

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...
