I'm bursting with Glee



I feel very lucky in many ways. Three beautiful, sweet daughters, a wonderful man I'm proud to call my husband, and now two little adorable grandsons. We are all healthy and doing good. I'm living the life I imagined when I was young. So you see I feel very lucky but I have not been lucky at lotteries or drawings or giveaways until now. I had entered many giveaways in hope of this would be nice, so when I enter one at One Good Thing by Jillee it was like so many I have done. And because I usually get passed by I forget about checking back. Then last week I received that email we all love to get , 
YOU WON
 Oh boy but the best part was the prize



iphone-canon giveaway


There were 2600 entries and I was not expecting to win.
I chose the camera, I have been wanting just this one too.
Now that I am feeling better,  I think I can concentrate on the manual and figure out all the bells and whistles.  It has been years since I have used a camera of this sort, to date me I have still my 35mm (using real film) Fujica. I had taken a lot of good photos with that camera.
So expect to see better photos from me, that will be one of my New Year Resolutions.
I hope you will have some good luck if you haven't yet.

I would like also to get a big Thanks to Jillee and her generous prize. If you haven't been her blog you should check it out. She has post on a variety of topics and subjects, from cooking to cleaning  to everything else.

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...
